Tribest FreshLife Sprouter - Automatic Wheatgrass and Sprouter System Review

Tribest FreshLife Sprouter - Automatic Wheatgrass and Sprouter System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This sprouter is the best I have ever used. It is so easy and the quantity of sprouts is fantastic. All you have to do is change the water daily. I use organic sprouts from Mumm's. After sharing samples with friends they are ready to buy their own. Radish sprouts are by far the favourite and if you spin them dry in a salad spinner and store them in a rubbermaid container that has a separate slotted base inside, they keep for up to two weeks or more in the fridge. You can also get an extra tub and grow twice as many at a time. Note: sometimes when using two barrels the sprinkler doesn't like to spin - I've found that if I plug it in and just let it 'prime' for a few seconds, then unplug and replug it in it starts spinning every time. Love this product! I bought mine from Mumm's sprouting seeds before I knew it was available on Amazon. Check out the demo on the Tribest website for a visual demonstration.

Easy Gardener 8021 Garden Defense Electronic Sensor Owl Review

Easy Gardener 8021 Garden Defense Electronic Sensor Owl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My company had a huge problem with pigeons roosting in our warehouse. We decided to buy a different owl at first, a statue that didn't move. But after 3 days, the pigeons had figured out it wasn't real.
This electronic owl's movement and hooting really did the trick. I would say it is quite loud if you wanted to use it at a house or apartments. Also, the sensors are really too sensitive. We eventually turned off the hooting because it was too annoying, and it didn't seem to make a difference to the pigeons--they still stayed out.

The realistic Easy Gardener 8021 Garden Defense Electronic Owl is a chemical-free, environmentally friendly way to control pests. Scare away birds and vermin with this great horned owl look-alike. The Electronic Owl detects movement with four motion sensors, causing the head to turn and the Owl to hoot. And as attractive as it is useful, the Electronic Owl makes a great patio accent, garden feature, or lawn ornament for any home.
Looks and Acts Like the Real ThingDesigned to look exactly like a great horned owl, the Electronic Owl features large, yellow eyes, a tilted head, ear tufts, and intricate hand-painted details on the body. When the Electronic Owl senses movement, its head turns toward the motion and the Owl hoots, adding to the realistic effect.
Activated by Motion SensorsThe Electronic Owl is activated by four motion sensors that detect nearby pests or movement. The head turns in the direction of the motion and hoots, scaring away the pests. The head then moves back to the neutral position. Three AA batteries are required for operation.
Environmentally Friendly Pest ControlImitating the look of a predator bird to protect your fruits, vegetables, and flowers, the Electronic Owl can be used year after year to frighten away birds, squirrels, rabbits, rodents, and other destructive pests. Because the Owl uses no chemicals, this form of pest control is safe and environmentally friendly, and it can be used for years to come.
Easy to InstallWith several options available for installing the Electronic Owl, you will quickly find the most effective spot in your garden. Mounting the Owl on a pole or fencepost is easy with household screws. Another option is to simply place the Owl between the rows in your vegetable patch or on your patio. Occasionally moving the Owl helps maintain effective pest control.

RSVP International Endurance Stainless Steel Compost Pail 1-gal. Review

RSVP International Endurance Stainless Steel Compost Pail 1-gal.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this compost pail eight months ago, and am very happy I did. I have reduced the amount of weekly trash and in combination with a composter in my postage-stamp-size backyard, have set up a system where I'm making great compost for my potted plants, my little garden, my house plants. The compost pail, which sits on my kitchen counter, is virtually odorless (I haven't changed the filter yet--I just periodically rinse it).
The only reason I'm giving it four rather than five stars is that now, in the warmer months, it's attracting fruit flies. Every time I lift the lid a little swarm of them (5 or 6) flies out. They fly right back in, however, for it's Paradise Hotel for them. I don't think the charcoal filter does anything in terms of keeping them out. I may try a bit of mosquito netting and see if that helps.
As a noveau environmentalist, I'd advise against what the other reviewer suggests: don't use a plastic trash bag! That kind of defeats the purpose, for plastic is a big environmental problem. This pail is small and easy to clean. I just dump the scraps into my composter, then rinse the pail with water that I pour into the composter thereafter. If you're fussy, you can wash it with a bit of dish soap in the kitchen sink. Mine, thanks to coffee grounds (worms love 'em), fruit and veggie peelings, actually never gets at all funky.
Generally it's recommended that you not put any animal byproducts or grains in your compost--among other things, those are what usually makes things smelly and can also lead to disease or to strange things sprouting up in your soil.

Every gardener and ecology-minded citizen agrees that composting your kitchen scraps is a terrific idea. Unfortunately the reality of a stinky can of garbage on your counter can be pretty discouraging. Behold the eco-friendly, nose-friendly solution in the form of this sleek and stylish pail. Two charcoal filters in the lid keep odors under control. A convenient handle allows you tote a gallon's worth of garbage out to the compost heap where it belongs.
