08 Mar 10 Scotts Green Classic 2000-20 Manual Mower
Many of us have personally taken up the cause of the going green revolution and for those who would like to have an alternative to the loud, smelly and gas guzzling lawn mowers our parents had, the Scotts Green Classic 2000-20 is a great little manual mower that we can get a lot of good out of. One key thing that should be noted up front is that if you have a lawn with a fair amount of hills or particularly lush, thick grass then you may need a different model but that will be true of all manual mowers. They simply are not built for more hilly areas or lawns with field like vegetation. However, if you live in the average urban or suburban area with a typical lawn then this mower is an excellent value because it can really haul straight across the lawn and get the job done quickly and with style. There’s barely any maintenance with this model, which is excellent, and even though it might be a bit heavier than some, that is completely worth it since there is a 20 inch cutting area that is going to make quick work of most lawns. Most manual mowers cut a lot smaller area than you might think, compared to a gas mower, so this Scotts Green Clasic is a real blessing in terms of the amount of time you have to spend mowing. Those with a larger yard like I have will definitely appreciate that feature. For the price, this mower can’t be beaten among manual models.

11 Aug 09 Arundale Sky Café Bird Feeder
After doing a few field tests, I feel confident in saying that even the best bird feeders often run out of room to store the amount of seed you will want to offer if you have a busy yard. The Arundale Sky Cafe feeder boasts a very large capacity – over 5 full quarts of storage – which makes it perfect for those of us who have quite a few feathered friends stopping by on a regular basis for a quick snack. Not only this, but it is extremely easy to both refill and to clean, plus it has attracted quite a few different bird species ranging from song birds like cardinals to your average house finches. This has made it an exceptional bargain for me at just around $60. The time saved having to refill several times a week is well worth the investment and actually does give back value for the money spent. I’ve spotted up to 10 birds feeding at any one time, proof that this really is a cafe. Another strong feature of this bird feeder is that it is durable, even a strong wind storm knocking it from its stand has not harmed it and that is the kind of durability that can be handy given the effects of nature in many of our yards. Replacement parts are free with the life time warranty that is included with this model so that further sweetens the deal. If you are interested in having quite a few birds around your home on a regular basis, this feeder just can’t be beaten.
