I live on a farm and cluster flies gather in our windows every fall. I hang these strips in the windows and the flies bump into it as they fly around--one bump and they're caught. It doesn't catch all flies--and it rarely catches Asian beetles, unfortunately--but it catches most of them. It's safe--much better than spraying pesticides--and it doesn't use energy. Perfect for my needs. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because sometimes when you pull one out of the tube the fly paper tears off--then it's useless unless you can tape it back together.

I determined that my time would be better spent doing other things so I purchased the Black Flag TAT Fly Paper. It's easy to use, does it job of attracting the pests and making sure they do not further buzz anybody in the house. This product is a wise choice for me.

Ambient Weather AW-YG637S Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass

Ambient Weather AW-YG637S Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass







Brand Ambient Weather







Product Features

* Some people have proposed that surface interactions between the glass wall of the storm glass and the liquid contents account for the crystals. Explanations sometimes include effects of electricity or quantum tunneling across the glass.
* Includes one year warranty from Ambient Weather.
* How this storm glass really works is a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate crystals inside (sealed-glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure decreases). Famed meteorologist Admiral Fitzroy used a storm glass in 1750 on a historic voyage with Charles Darwin.
* A storm glass works on the premise that temperature and pressure affect solubility, sometimes resulting in clear liquid; other times causing precipitants to form. However, the method by which this works is not fully understood. Although it is well-established that temperature affects solubility, some studies have simultaneously observed several different storm glasses forming similar crystal patterns at different temperatures. In addition, sealed glasses are not exposed to atmospheric pressure changes and do not react to the pressure variations associated with weather systems.


Product Description
A cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms.
If the liquid contains small stars on sunny winter days, then snow is coming.
If there are large flakes throughout the liquid, it will be overcast in temperate seasons or snowy in the winter.
If there are crystals at the bottom, this indicates frost.
If there are threads near the top, it will be windy.

During the historic voyage, FitzRoy carefully documented how the storm glass would predict the weather:
If the liquid in the glass is clear, the weather will be bright and clear.
If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy as well, perhaps with precipitation.
If there are small dots in the liquid, humid or foggy weather can be expected.

It sometimes had a tendency to cloud-over (not one of its normal processes) and remain but eventually it would clear back up again.
It is exactly what I ordered and I cannot wait to see it in action. It's a great conversation piece!
I even brought in the "recipe" and made them in Chemistry class! Though it was hard to seal it. My Chemistry professor never heard of them!

Fantastic job Poulan! Who would think a single stage could do so much! This unit blows away the Toro and Yard machines units that sell for $100 more at Home. This snow thrower has a few bugs to work out. the biggest complaint I have with this machine is that it throws snow back on the operator. it's handle is too high making this snow thrower difficult to handle. on the plus side, it is easy to start thanks to the electric start on it.

There's nothing on the market that pushes through as deep snow as this does with only a single stage. It starts on the first pull every time and never slows down, even though the heaviest wet snow. I filled mine with Royal Purple 10w30 and haven't regretted it. I'm not one to use the factory fill when there are drastically superior synthetics available. My only gripe is the lack of inclusion of a cable for electric starting, but I've yet to even need to try it since it starts on the first pull every single time regardless of the temperature.

This vendor will send you Generac 070185F (not "B") filters. The F filters are 3/4" longer than the B filters; otherwise, they are identical. It says on the filter that they are 30% larger for more filter capacity. Since they are OEM quality, i.e., Generac brand, a longer filter is a welcome improvement. Filters arrived 3 days after ordering them. This can be a hard to find item and these folks have them in stock ready to ship. Many thanks for your prompt professional service.

Contech CRO101 Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler

Contech CRO101 Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler







Brand Contech







Product Features
* Contech Electronics scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler for humane animal deterrence
* Scarecrow detects and sprays animals in a 1000-square-foot area day and night
* Lightweight plastic shaft; metal sprinkler head
* Includes sprinkler mount and motion detector; 9-volt battery not included
* 2-year limited warranty; measures 17-inch


Product Description
Safe, Humane Deterrent Helps Protect Your Garden
A huge amount of time and energy goes into keeping your yard and garden looking great, so it's only natural that you want to protect them from damage caused by hungry wildlife or local dogs and cats. But there are lots of reasons to avoid chemical deterrents, traps, and hazardous electric fences.

Whether you're a dedicated organic vegetable gardener or a parent looking out for the health of children and pets that play in your yard, you'll appreciate the simple, innovative, and effective water-based concept behind the Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler. It's also a great choice for neighborhoods where fences are prohibited and for people who consider wire fences and other visual barriers unappealing.

When the ScareCrow detects an animal it instantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The sudden spray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scares animals away. Animals associate this negative experience with the area and avoid your yard in the future.

That was very helpful. We have a similar deer problem. The ultra sonic deer devices did not help (hit distance too small / need many to form a blockade). A 4 foot fence did not help. Motion sensing flood lights do startle them but do not scare them away. Covering the plants with plant protector bags does work but since we have more than 10 plants to cover this is a lot of work and last night since it was raining all day they decided to show up 4 hours early at around 7:30 PM instead of 11:30 so they were able to take down the last remaining hosta buds.

I work from home quite often and sit close to our plantings and have noticed deer staring at our plants from the neighbors yard at noon, that's right noon. I'm not sure how often they do this but it only takes a few visits to wipe out the plants. So I feel like our scarecrow needs to be on around the clock. We have sidewalks, and neighbors in their yards to contend with, so we've tried to fine tune the sensitivity and sprinkler range. However, it seems like white, flat sided service trucks set this thing off regardless of the sensitivity. Mail trucks, garbage trucks, street sweeper, etc will set this off from a great distance, at the same setting a person would have to be very close to trigger it.

Weber One Touch Gold 22.5 Inch Charcoal Grill

Weber One Touch Gold 22.5 Inch Charcoal Grill







Brand Weber







Product Features
Color: Black
* 10-year limited warranty
* The Weber One-Touch Gold charcoal grill has a heavy-gauge porcelain enamel that prevents rust
* The grill is made of black heavy-gauge porcelain-enameled steel lid and bowl
* The hinged cooking grate allows for easy re-fueling
* The One-Touch cleaning and venting system allows you to empty the ash in seconds without getting your hands dirty

Product Description
When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill's nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid's not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill's aluminum vents and ash catcher won't rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels--besides being exceptionally sturdy--make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber's patented One-Touch cleaning system--a clever setup of lever-activated blades--sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty--and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.
Weber's One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious.

It weighs the perfect amount (hasn't been blown over even in this horrible weather with gusts of wind in excess of 100mph, and yet it's still light enough for me to lift and carry as I see fit). The ash catcher is large enough to accommodate 3-4 loads before needing emptied.
This Weber I love. Everything about it seems perfect. I have some complaints (and I'll get to those soon, I promise) but overall I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I know it makes no sense to say that a grill has improved my cooking, but as far as I'm concerned it has. My pork chops have been consistently cooked properly and juicy. My steaks have been delicious.

I noticed that the assembly manual pictured two parts, a pair of charcoal rails, that were not included in the box. I called Weber customer support, and they explained that the wrong manuals were sent out with some of the grills, and I wasn't actually missing the charcoal rails. Then they offered to send me the charcoal rails for free anyway! That kind of customer service is rare in my opinion and sets Weber apart. I'm very confident that they'll stand behind their products if anything happened to go wrong.

To sum up:
THE GOOD
- quality construction
- great customer service
- good ventilation
- lots of cooking area
- hinged cooking grate
- enclosed ash catcher

The battery in this model was built in, so you didnt have the option of switching to a second charged battery. This was never a issue for me, as I was able to complete my trimming on one charge. I recycled the 12v trimmer by giving it to a friend who still uses it to this day. I then upgraded to an 18v version only because I decided I wanted a cordless blower and hedge trimmer. The cost of getting a package with all three was too good to pass up. I live in Florida, and it's hot in the summer doing yard work. When the battery runs out of energy, so do I, so it works out well for me. This product prevents heat stroke too! But in all seriousnes, it does the job needed to do well. I would recomend this highly.

After watching a couple commercials on the Worx 18v lith ion trimmer, I fully intended on trying it out. After doing a little research and reading the problems people had regarding getting any customer support, I figured why mess with success. I admit I have never been impressed with the actual styling of the BD. My old electric trimmer was nothing but a hassle to deal with; it needed a long cord, I hated bumping it to get more string, the string got tangled, etc and as a result, I had not trimmed the yard for nearly 4 years. That's a problem due to all the rock-edged beds we've put in as well as a lot of sidewalks on our nearly quarter acre.

This flag is excellent quality. I received it in a timely manner and am very pleased with it. I would order from this company again.Great flag at a great price! The flag is made out of polyester so it is not meant to be flown, like the previous reviewer found out the hard way. A little research and common sense would have discovered that.
I already have it blowing in the wind and it is beautiful. It has two grommet holes for securing it to a pole. It arrived quickly in the mail and came with a buy one flag get one free coupon for future orders. Update: 8/10/10 It is still nice and only tore a little on the side when it got stuck on a plant branch. I will probably buy another one soon.
I also bought a German flag to hang above my Porsche in the garage. I ordered them Sunday night, and got them Wednesday afternoon in the mail! It's not the highest grade material, but for $5 you can't expect it to be. I think they look great though!

if you either put the shelving pieces together first, then stack them, or give a gentle tap with a hammer as you go so the one you just finished doesn't come loose while you're working on the next section. One side bonus I found to this system - since the pots are sealed inside the greenhouse, the need to water was cut by less than half. Anyone who has started seeds knows how difficult it can be to carefully water not sprouted or newly sprouted plants without disturbing the seeds or seedlings. This greenhouse kept the humidity in well enough that very little watering was necessary. Also, the top shelf is tall enough that some of the larger plants I started (bush beans especially!) have plenty of room to take off until I can get them outside. This greenhouse rack if just the right size to place in front of one side of my patio doors so the plants can get plenty of light. There just aren't any plants that survive in that much shade. I've used those shelves for pots and potting supplies. Also, the clearance between the top of the zip-up flap and the top shelf is too narrow for my plants, so when I pull them out, I end up having to tilt the pot or bend plants to get them out. I was a little worried that the materials would be sub-par because the purchase price was so much lower than similar products. But, the materials are good and I'm not sure why anyone would pay $300.00 for the same type of greenhouse. So glad I found this product.

This product doesn't use bristles or brushes, but a fairly firm foam material, that doesn't seem to scratch the paint on your car. It makes cleaning heavy snow off of the car at least twice as fast as any similar product I've tried before.

Saves a lot of time. I can clear out a fully covered compact car in under 30 seconds, roof and all. My neighbors look at me like I'm using a magic wand or something. Though a negative side effect of this is that my car is not sufficiently warmed up by the time I'm done with snow removal duty.

I tell everyone who will listen that they need to get this for themselves. It came in especially handy this past winter, which was the worst one we've seen in New England in a very long time. This is the best tool I've ever owned for getting snow off of my car. I can clear my Subaru Forester in under two minutes using this. I wish that I'd had this when I lived in Syracuse.
