Safer Brand 5025 Houseplant Sticky Stakes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item works a little too well in fact. The little sticky traps are covered so I actually need to order more! They work well because you are able to push them as far down into the pot as you need to unlike other traps you would just hang in the general area. They seem to be helping control our gnat problem though I would recommend a pesticide to go along with them. The sticky paper helps cut down on the number of flying adults but eggs still exist in the pot that need to be taken care of as well.

Plant Stand Risers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm actually using these as risers for drink jugs that I didn't want right down on the serving table. They are nice and wide so they are sturdy for any plant or as I'm using, a large glass jug.

Contemporary Cappuccino Finish Round Plant Stand / Side Table Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This plant stand is garbage. Putting it together should be easy but the screw holes do not match up so it is basically a wobbly table that might be salvaged if you throw a tablecloth over it and put something very lightweight on it.

Jiffy 5131 Strips 'N Tray 32-Plant Seed Starter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My experience with this product so far has not been ideal. I bought this at a home improvement store and it did come with a plastic cover (hydrodome)unlike this particular version. However, I would recomend not having one of those lids with this product because of the following concern. If the peat pots are packed into the bottom plastic part as designed they grow blue mold all over the pots because the peat pots + moisture + no air circulation is a great recipe for mold. It does not seem that this mold is interfering with the plant growing at all, but for people who are allergic to mold this is not ideal. I took the pots out of the tray, turned the tray upside down, set the pots on top of it and ran a fan on them and the mold went away. It returns whenever the pots are wet. The second concern I have is the pots suck all of the water out of the soil. I guess the positive side of this is you never have to worry that your plants are going to damp off because it doesn't stay wet enough, but on the flip side watering twice a day to keep the soil from being bone dry is a little much. Also, just a note: when planting the peat pots make sure to cut off the top part of the pot and bury the pot below the soils surface or the plants will dry out and die. Also, it might be a good idea to cut vertically down the pots at planting to prevent the plants from becoming root bound since the pots don't decompose as fast as advertised. The one advantage to these pots is that I will be able to start plants indoors that are hard to transplant, that is if I can keep them alive through their constant drought and mold issues.

Clonex CLO100 Rooting Compound Gel, 100ML Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recommended to me for a specific purpose by a professional nurseryman. It adheres to the cutting base so you know when it's in dirt there is some there. It worked better than another powdered product I've used for years. The two images I supplied shows a special tomato sucker, the parent was a 7.18# tomato... and worth making more than one plant. In 10 days I had a new plant, fastest rooting I've seen for this type of propagation. I'm trying it with other plant cuttings, so far it is doing much better than anything else I've tried. It seems pricy but the 100 ml bottle will go a long ways. Strongly recommend despite the price.

Brite Wing High Wattage Fluorescent Grow Lamp Fixture Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you, like I was, are looking for a solution for your rubbermaid stealth growbox, this is the solution!!!
this VERY shiny reflector fits almost PERFECTLY into a 18 gallon rubbermaid !! just add a couple of lumps in each extreme of the fixture so it makes more presure against the tub and voila!, it stays just on top of your cannopy.
great for my ultra stealth cucumber growbox!!!
for further info google: Rubbermaid CFL Growbox... most people gets away with a vanity fixture to secure some small cfls on the top of the tube, but with this fixture you have ONE cfl, with its reflector etc...
this worked great with me, specially using mylar instead of white paint, like most of the cheap DYS guides propose.
this reflector is almost as shiny as mylar, i have them working side by side, and it does its job great!

Plastair SpringJet PUJ225B93OT-AMZ 25-Foot 1/4-Inch Polyurethane Coil Hose and Wand Set - Blue Translucent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:
(1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.
(2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.
