New Garden Gear


We are very jazzed about some new products we've got in the shop.

The Goundhog is a rake like no other. It's got a C-Shaped head that catches all the debris that normally falls out of the sides of a standard rake. Then when you've got a pile of leaves or yard waste, you turn the rake over and scoop up the pile with it for a quick toss into your waste can. The shaft is made of durable fiberglass and the handle is cushy. We haven't found boxes big enough for shipping, so it's not on the website - yet. But, it is available in the shop.

Many of you have seen Earth Boxes on HGTV and have asked us to be a local supplier for them. They are now in stock at the shop and they are pretty cool - perfect for folks in apartments or townhouses with no space for a garden. Also perfect for people who just want to keep the garden on the patio. Earth Boxes are a self-contained, self-watering garden for veggies or flowers. They come with casters for easy moving, organic fertilizer and aeration screen. Users claim they double your yield and cut water use dramatically. That sounds like a good plan for us desert dwellers.

We love these new little Garden Scissors by the folks at Dramm. They have the most comfy, ergonomically correct handle we've seen on garden scissors along with a guide for your index finger so there's no slipping from a gloved hand. The blade is stainless steel. Best of all they come in a bunch of bright colors - so you don't loose them in the yard! This is the perfect tool for kitchen gardeners. You can order these from our website.

For all you Fox Farm fans, we're now carrying the Big Bloom Liquid Plant Food. This organic elixir of earthworm castings and bat guano is known for the large, multiple blooms it helps to promote on plants. Users say fruit is sweeter and blossoms more fragrant when they regularly apply this blend. It's available in the shop along with the Fox Farm Marine Cuisine, Vegetable & Fruit, and All-Purpose powder blends.
