Hydrofarm FLC0125D Fluorescent Grow Light System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was not sure what to do with all my trees over the winter. I made a mistake and forgot to water my 40 year old ficus which has an amazing 10 inch trunk. I also have been babying my serissa for about 8 years and have had many sections die off. I knew my main problem was that they were not getting the right amount of light over the winter in the north east parts of Massachusetts. This year I decided I would build a bonsai hospital. First I had to sort out an area that my darn plant eating cat could not get into. Then I ordered this light. I went a few steps further and went to my local home hardware store and bought a set of 2" PVC pipes and fittings making a jig to hold the light up about 5 feet off the ground. Then I put the light on a timer and ended up not only reviving my 40 year old ficus, but my serissa looks better than it does after a warm bright wet summer! I even put my herbs and my orchids under it and all in all this saved my entire plant collection for the winter. I do recommend making a stand of sorts. I used 2 "T" fittings for the legs and the risers, then 2 elbows for the pipe that spans between the feet and drilled two holes in them inserting hooks through them so I could suspend the light. It all breaks down for summer storage and I am sooooo happy with the results. Also, this thing throws out so much light you can't even look into it, yet it uses so little energy! Its like having a 125 watt bulb on, so yes it uses some, but you will (more importantly your plants) will love love love it!!UPDATE: This summer my plants are doing better than ever. My orchid I mentioned above even flowered!!! First time ever since I got it. This winter they will all be pampered again under this light.

Corona Clipper LR 3460 1/2-Inch Long Reach Cut N Hold Bypass Pruner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a large butterfly bush which I dead head about three times a week. As a result, we have literally hundreds of butterflies visiting each day. Getting to the top of it was a real pain, and butterfly bushes are brittle. This tool makes it easy. It is well designed and built. There may be better ones out there but I don't know how they would be. It is a quality tool that removes the dead flower and holds it so you can remove it from the bush. It rotates 180 degrees so the gripper works no matter what angle you are picking from. If you want a lot of butterflies, cut the bush to the ground each fall or spring and prune it very often. The bush will bloom all year and bring you more small friends than you deemed possible.

Roundup 5100720 1-Quart Bonus Size 50-Percent Super Concentrate Weed and Grass Killer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product contains 71.4% Glyphosate, a systemic non-selective herbicide that enters the plant through the leaves and moves to the roots. At this level, the chemical inhibits an enzyme found only in vegetation. This is essential for the formation of specific amino acids. When the plant can not generate more cells, further growth is stopped; and it dies as a result.
.
.
Pros:
.
. . . 1. Only vegetation that was sprayed would die. Unsprayed plants would not.
.
. . . 2. The soil is not affected by ROUNDUP. After a week or two, the area can be replanted.
.
. . . 3. It is relatively inexpensive compared to ORTHO GROUNDCLEAR. The latter sells at COSTCO during the early spring for $16.79/gallon and makes 5 gallons of herbicide. This calculates to $3.36/gallon.
. . . . .ROUNDUP SUPER CONCENTRATE dilutes at 1 ounce per gallon and makes 35 gallons of herbicide at $1.35/gallon.
.
.
Cons:
.
. . . 1. Because the product attacks the plant at the root via the cellular level, it takes two-to-three weeks for the vegetation to yellow and die.
.
. . . 2. The 1 ounce per gallon dilution ratio is only good for grass. For tough thorn-like plants such black berry bushes, it takes 3 ounces per gallon with three-to-four additional applications for a complete kill. This jumps the price up to $4.05 to $5.40/gallon.
.
.
Alternatives: There are better and cheaper herbicides.
.
. . . 1. QUIKPRO is more effective and inexpensive than ROUNDUP. The product contains 73.30% Glyphosate and 2.90% Diquat. Besides containing 1.9% more root-killing chemical, it has a second ingredient that rapidly disrupts cell integrity of photosynthetically active tissues in the leaves. Blades of grass and leaves turn brown within three days.
. . . . .The cheapest price for QUIKPRO is at Russo Power Equipment. I was able to purchase a 6.8 pound container for $70. At a dilution rate of 1.5 ounces/gallon of water, it calculates to [标签:Content].98/gallon of herbicide.
.
. . . 2. The most inexpensive herbicide is to mix a "home made solution" from cheap household products. For killing grass and sterilizing the soil as well, I mix a quarter cup of liquid laundry detergent and 2.0 pounds of salt in a gallon of water. DO NOT USE POWDER DETERGENT, it clogs up the sprayer.
. . . . .CASH AND CARRY of Seattle sells a 50 pound bag of salt at $5.90, and COSTCO sells a 1.3 gallon container of ECO LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT at $13.89.
. . . . .This [标签:Content].32/gallon solution is applied via a hand-pump sprayer. The detergent removes the shiny protective waxy layer of the vegetation and forces it to quickly absorb the toxic solution. The detergent is also sticky. As a result, the salt sticks to the plant during drying. You can see the crystals of it on the blades of grass during a sunny day.
. . . . .Within an hour, it is curling. In one to two days, certain parts of the grass turn dark purple-black in color. Within a week, the area is brown. It is best to do spraying on a dry week in late July, for rain tends to wash off the dried saline and negate the killing process. When a summer shower does come later, the salt goes into the soil, attacks the grass roots, and sterilizes the ground.
.
. . . 3. For tough thorn-like plants such as black berry bushes, I mix 1.5 ounces of QUIKPRO and a cup of bleach into my "home made herbicide." At a $1.39/gallon, the herbicide is very potent. It usually takes two to three applications for a complete kill.

Bayer 2-in-1 Insect Protection with Fertilizer Plant Spikes 701710A Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Because of cold weather, I have to bring my tropical hibiscus plants indoors during winter. Every year, they would get aphids and generally be a big mess. Until I discovered these Bayer pesticide/fertilizer spikes. No more aphids. The plant leaves stay green and healthy-looking. And a bonus -- right now, one of my plants has more than 20 flower buds. It's beautiful.

Luster Leaf 1880 Rapitest Electronic 4-Way Analyzer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the rapitest mini 4 way soil analyzer on ebay which is almost identical to this one with three leads. I couldn't help notice how many are complaining that the pH measurements do not work. This is not true. If you follow the directions it measures pH fine.
You need to first clean the right lead with the included pad and wash it. Then you stick the meter all the way into the ground. Then you have to water the ground around the meter leads until it gets muddy almost like water. You will then see the meter start moving away from 7 and if you wait a minute, you'll get an accurate reading. Repeat a few times to make sure you got a good spot that is consistent. If you only insert the very tips of the leads into the soil or do not make the soil into mud, you will get a pH of 7. I've inserted the whole thing into a bottle of vinegar and it measures about 2.5 which is accurate and I've inserted it into a container of peat moss I've watered until muddy and it measures 4 to 5 depending on location. Both are accurate. If I do not follow the instructions and only insert the tip of the leads into the bottle of vinegar or stick it in dry soil or stick it into the soil without waiting a minute I get an inaccurate reading. But if you follow the directions it works fine with an error of about 0.5 pH units in my opinion.
I give it 4 stars out of 5 because the "Fertility Meter" does not appear to really measure N-P-K directly but seems to merely measure the soil's conductivity and assuming most of its ions are N-P-K compounds and therefore has a high false positive rate. When you insert it in liquids that do not have any nitrogen phosphorous or potassium, it reads "high" when it should really read "low". Also the pH meter appears to have a maximum error of 0.5 pH units with repeat measurements in vinegar which is fine for gardeners who don't work in a lab and need perfect results.

Flower House FHPH155CL PlantHouse 2 Pop-Up Plant House, Clear Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm really pleased with this greenhouse. It was pretty easy to assemble but I'm glad I read other reviews to know it's just a tad challenging to get the poles in (just a very tight fit). There are also little pockets that the end of the poles fit into and they were a little difficult to find (tucked into the inside seams). Very attractive and easy to move.
Very good product.
