This just in! Summer’s almost over, Surpies, and that means fall is coming, which means winter is coming, and if the folks of Winterfell would’ve had these heavy duty, reinforced, gray plastic covers, life would have been much easier for them. They’re rounded (the covers, not the Starks) and measure 34” x 30” with a 72” elastic strap and clasp to keep them from blowing all the way down to King’s Landing, or over into your neighbor’s yard. Use the covers to protect your air conditioner, patio furniture, outdoor cooler or fire pit against the elements.

The plants aren’t going to name themselves. These Tall “T” Labels from RapiClip® are for your garden, so you don’t forget what you planted, or what you named the plants. Labels are white, generally T-shaped and 8” tall with a 2-1/2” x 1-3/4” labeling area that looks like a basketball backboard. You’ll get a pack of (10), and when you see how organized your garden is, you’ll probably want another (10).

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. We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us.  2 AA batteries, not included.

Our friends at iZoom® call this the Lanai Solar Landscape Light, and we say that’s probably a better word than Porch. Either way, use a bunch of these to light your little slice of paradise. They’re light-sensor activated, dusk to dawn, with a warm white LED light, a built-in rechargeable battery, solar panel and on/off switch. In the shape of a lint roller, each light housing measures 4-1/2” tall x approx 2-1/2” dia with of a 7” shaft below it, and a 4-1/4” spike attachment below that. All you do is push it into the ground. Light housing and shaft are black plastic, and the housing has a cool tropical cut-out design for the light to shine through. Weather-proof and IP54 Rated. No need for wires or outlets.

The budding home scientist and horticulturist will both delight in the ease with which this self-contained soil test kit brings discovery. The kit measures not only ph., but also Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash content and contains material for 40 tests. Since these are the essential ingredients affecting plant nutrition, we see a science project in the making: experimental plant growth in soils with different amounts of acidity and/or nutrients. From Luster Leaf(tm), the kit is entirely self-contained and includes complete instructions for use and explanations. Be careful, please, the kit does have chemicals and should not be used by young children without supervision.

Why, you’re using this 164 feet of light-duty, green garden wire by RapiClip® to keep your garden neat and tidy, that’s why. Wire is 3/64” dia, meaning it’s super thin and bendy and wrappable. Time to get your plants in order. This stuff will help.

Grow a beautiful garden full of plants that love your soil! It's easy if you know your soil's pH, and we have a gauge to help you! Stick the probe into moist soil for the pH to register in a separate 4" x 2" x 1" gauge box on the end of a 26 inch cord. That lets you read the gauge without having to lay on the bug and worm covered ground to see it! A needle indicates the pH on a scale of 3.5-9, and you get a list of which plants like which pH levels.

Why wire? Good question. The answer, when speaking of this particular wire, is that it’s soft, green, rubber-coated and reusable. You’ll get 32 feet of this RapiClip® light duty wire tie from Luster Leaf®, which of course you can use to prop up a tomato plant but also to keep an extension cord from turning into the knotty mess. Bend and twist it any way you like, and then store it on the handy, hangable piece it comes wrapped around.

Get one before the flood-a 10" tall clear plastic rain gauge to hang on a wall (with 1/4" mounting holes, you supply the screws) or stick in the lawn on its stake-like bottom. Graduated up to 5" of rain in 0.1" increments, or 123mm in 2mm increments.

The Woof & Paw Rake and Bin Pooper Scooper set is so nice, so sturdy, it might make you want to get a dog just so you can clean up after it. Extending handles click into place on the rake and bin, extending from 20" long closed to 3 feet fully extended. Bin is 6-1/4" wide x 6-3/4" deep with 3 walls 2-1/2" high. Rake has 9 metal tines spread across 6-1/4". Scooping poop will never be as enjoyable as it is with these tools.
