Electronic Plant Monitoring

You can’t trust nature (it’s red in tooth and claw, remember?) but you can monitor its effect on plants with either of these electronic meters. The pH meter has a 7-1/2" long metal probe with a 1-5/8” x 3/4” ballistic meter on top that displays pH from 3 to 10. The 3-in-1 meter is the same size but with a switchable meter to measure pH, light or moisture. No batteries: it works via chemical reaction to different metals (either that or it’s magic).

Ouch!

Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed; hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

How Hot Was It?

This clever little analog thermometer has two extra hands that you set with a dial for non-digital temperature tracking. When you check back (In the evening? Morning? Whenever.) they tell you the minimum and maximum temperatures since you last set it, along with the current temp, of course. Has a 3" x 3-1/2" dial face and reads -30°C TO +60°C and -20°F to +140°F. In a dark-green plastic birdhouse-esque case, 8-1/4" tall x 3" x 1" thick, with built-in tabs to hang it up.

Weather on a Pole

A whole weather station, all hung on one 58" pole ready to be planted in your garden. It includes a 15" high thermometer with °F and °C marked in large numerals, a rain gauge that will measure up to 4" or 10 cm. of rainfall against an expanded scale, plus wind speed and direction indicators. We suggest you hit the latter (2) with a shot of WD-40 to loosen them up. You get no read out on the wind, but can make a subjective judgement from the speed with which the anemometer spins and the direction the arrow points. Sturdy black plastic, it will be a handsome and useful addition to your yard. (We got 0.25" of rain last night!!)

The fan sprayer head is 5" wide x 6-3/8" long in dark green plastic with a thumbscrew adjustment and a folding 5-1/4" metal spike to stick it in the ground so you can drink beer with both hands while you're watering. The soft sprayer, a 2" dia head with an adjustable twist valve in the 1-1/4" dia x 6" long handle, is meant for gently watering flowers without disturbing their fragile little heads.

I'd Like To Buy The Wasps A Coke"

CJ calls it very clever, and we agree. The Soda Bottle Wasp Trap" from Gadjit® Outdoors has a sleeve that fits into any size pop bottle, plus a 3-3/8" dia x 1-1/2" tall top that screws onto bottles-onto a 1" OD neck, the standard soda bottle opening-and invites stinging pests inside for a drink. Permanently. Use regular, non-diet pop-wasps, hornets and yellow-jackets are notoriously indifferent about their weight. Includes a few wasp-themed stickers to decorate the bottle. Please note: this trap will not attach properly to the new Coca-Cola low-profile bottles.
