REVIEW – We are in the day and age of eating healthy, and in my household, we grow all of our leafy diet and many of our greens organically at home. While we have a great outdoor garden that produces enough food in the summer to last throughout the year, we don’t want to stop

REVIEW – When I got married many years ago, I had no idea my wife had such a green thumb and amazing gardening and landscaping talents. While she continues to deny these gifts, I have seen her produce amazing results in the garden I built her and most recently she has had great success with

Maybe it’s something in Idaho dirt or user error, but while they’re useful, they seem to bend in half or crack before too long. Enter The Original Hori Hori Namibagata Japanese Stainless Steel Weeding Knife! I

REVIEW -I have a love/hate relationship with composting.  I love having compost for my garden, but I keep getting off the composting train because it’s gross.   In the flimsy little can the city gave us I’d get mold, bugs and sometimes smells…and none of those are things you want in your kitchen.  I kept seeing

REVIEW – This year my wife has experienced an amazing summer gardening season with crops that have produced bountifully each day. I can’t remember the last time we went to the market to buy greens.
