I bought the Gilmour brass garden hose connector valve online just a couple of weeks ago. I have gotten a few good uses out of it already, so I am writing this review.
First it is made out of very durable material — brass. I bought this because I didn’t want to go to the faucet to shut off the water, because I have a long hose, and it leaks around the faucet.

The Good
You can get this bypass lopper for under $20. The entire tool is 27 inches long, perfect for removing my neighbor’s tree branches that have steadily been creeping into my property. It features plastic grip handles that have a rubbery feel, and while I always wear gloves while doing gardening tasks, the grips feel soft enough to be used comfortably by bare hands for a short period of time.

When I bought my home, the previous homeowner left behind two Rubbermaid Resin Outdoor Storage Sheds. These are medium-sized two-door plastic storage units that are advertised to stand up to the elements. According to Rubbermaid, the units are water-proof, leak-proof, rot-proof, rust-proof and weather-proof. I have owned my home for almost two years and am down to only one unit. Despite this fact, I still recommend this product.

I was introduced to the Kobalt line at my local Lowe’s about two years ago and have been satisfied with their products so far. I needed a tool for shoveling mulch—a lot of it—and I was pleased to see a Kobalt product choice: the short-handled wood scoop. I already own a digging shovel, but I wanted a tool capable of moving large quantities of mulch into my wheelbarrow (see my Union Tools Wheelbarrow review). I base my review on six factors: weight, cost, design, handle, scoop, and handling.

“You’ll love this house. The gardens are virtually maintenance-free.” Famous last words. If by “maintenance-free” the former homeowner meant, “anything and everything will grow even if you don’t do a thing,” then now I understand his meaning. The property I bought had been unlived in for a year. This absenteeism, mixed with extremely fertile grounds that had been carefully cultivated for almost 55 years, resulted in heavy-duty weeds starting in early April that grew at an alarming rate.
