75 Feet Expandable Garden Hose

This is a pretty big hose at 75 ft. expandable hoses are my favorite. I love that I can hang this and out of season can store it away without it taking up lots of room. Great because it isn't heavy when I am using it which is great for me since I have Fibromyalgia.

Come with all of the attachments and a hose nozzle. Everything you need to be up and going in minutes, no running around trying to find the right pieces to put your hose, nozzle and spicot together.

Easy to install, expandable hose which shrinks down small and compact. So easy to store.  I love that this hose comes with it's own spray nozzle which isn't cheap at all. Has 8 different settings. You are sure to find one that fits your needs. We love the mist and the shower function. Great for your garden, washing the car, outdoor furniture, or even the outside of your home.

Hose Holder and Carrier for Garden Hose

Even though I read the size I didn't expect it to be as big as it was when it was delivered. I am fine with a hose holder like this but my husband wants one of those kind that wind the hose back up on it.

Until then this one will be just fine. I like how I can have this hanging where I need it and be able to take it inside for the winter.

With the expandable hoses we haven't tested to see if they can stay out in the winter or not yet and to be honest I don't want to take the chance on leaving one out and it not making it's way through the winter, being left with a damaged garden hose in the spring.

Why a Garden hose splitter?

I never really saw the use for a garden hose splitter until I became disabled. Now I can be in one area while my daughter or husband is in another area so we can get the job done quicker.

Easy to use with valves to shut off or on so you can have more water pressure if you need to on just one hose or share the pressure between two hoses.

Great for quick car washes, washing siding, and even gardening.

Storing our Garden Equipment Away

With gardening season at the end of it's life up in our part of the country we are putting our hoses, sprayers, etc away and bringing out the shovels, rock salt, space heaters, etc, in preparedness of the season ahead.

While putting our garden equipment away we noticed that we needed a new hose nozzle so I this Nozzle from Davaon came in just in time. We were able to give it a whirl before packing away for the winter and I really like how it works.

Eight different settings which makes it easy to find the right spray for your gardening, washing your pet, car, or siding. Hooked up without having to add any extenders so this was a blessing and can not wait to use this next year to water our garden which we plan to extend.

Composting Made Easy

We compost our products, from kitchen waste, dryer lint, newspapers, leaves, garden plants at the end of the season, etc. With that we have been building a compost pile which we use for our garden.
Most people who compost will have a bowl or container on their kitchen counter or somewhere near to store their compostable products.

In the summer months you deal with fruit flies, smells, etc if the bowl or container is not emptied out daily or washed. Our daughter would usually take out the bowl when it was pretty much overflowing which in the summer she would be reminded with fruit flies, and a very yucky smell.

When I saw this compost pail we just had to give it a try. and try it we did. Heaven pure heaven. Has a pretty big area for storage so it can last a few days depending on kitchen use, a sturdy handle for carrying it back and forth to the compost pile. No more broken handles from the ice cream containers we were using.

This also has a top that keeps out the fruit flies and other crawlies. It has a charcoal filter which keeps smells pretty much none existent. I love that it has a top because now my daughter knows if the top doesn't fit on then it needs to be emptied. No more overflowing bowls on my counter.

Last but not least this looks great on my counter top. No more ugly bowls or ice cream containers. This compost pail truly fits our family to a tee.

You can find the Estilo Stainless Steel compost pail on Amazon.

Stainless Steel Compost Pail provides temporary storage for fruit & vegetable peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags and other kitchen scraps to transfer to garden composter.

Ezy Pruner

We have been looking for a pruner for our rose bush which we uprooted from one area of our house to another area several years ago. I didn't want anything huge, but kitchen shears were just not cutting it. These Ezy Pruners are perfect for the job and even do small tree limbs.

One of the things I have always wanted when we own our home (we currently rent) are some fruit trees. A few Apple, Pear, and maybe a peach tree, as well as a garden with that comes needing garden tools to be able to get the job done right. After a while we may need to buy a larger set but for now this set is just perfect.

Easy to use comes in Black or Red. We have ours in Red. I love how they ratchet and cut without having to use too much strength which I do not have.

You can find the Ezy Pruner on Amazon.


Ezy Pruner Ratchet Pruning Shears - BLKLess Effort Required for Greater Cuts 
If you've ever tried cutting medium sized branches, but have found it a struggle using regular Pruning Shears... then, you'll love using these Ezy Pruners!

Here's why... 

The way in which these Ratchet Pruners work is they have a ratcheting mechanism in place that takes care of as much as 80% of the workload for you! All you have to do is to place the jaws of the anvil blade around the object that you're wanting to cut, like you would an ordinary pruner... grip the handles, squeeze ever so gently until you hear a locking sound... and as simple as 3 easy squeezes... you'll have a nice clean cut right before you! 

No more struggling to cut tough branches of wood, and getting nowhere! 

What Kind of Cuts Can You Expect From These? 
Your Ezy Pruners will make short work of hard branches of up to 1" thick. Though, this doesn't mean you need to only save these for those bigger tasks... you will find your ratchet pruners are great for trimming flower stems, getting rid of dead plants, or any small to medium pruning task, really!

My first Hand Trowel

Really up until now we have just had a shovel to garden with along with our hands. My father had all of the neat tools, and I am sure if he were still alive I would be able to use all of them, but alas he is not, and his tools were long gone before I decided to garden, so here I am the third year into gardening.

I know have a ratchet pruner, the said shovel, and now this really nice Hand Trowel from LifeWell. I also have a garden knife which is quite nice too.

This year we still used just the shovel because the tools I did get came after we had already planted. Next year I hope to have a few more pieces to make my gardening easier.

With Fibromyalgia I need all of the help I can get to stay on top of my garden and planting. Thankfully I have a great teenage daughter who loves to garden, she has been a Godsend. I love how the handle and trowel are strong and sturdy.

Even though we have not owned a trowel before I have looked and to be honest I was't impressed, most would bend with a  little pressure from your hands, I had no idea how they would stand up to hitting a rock, or breaking up rough ground. With the LifeWell hand trowel I don't have to worry about that it is sturdy and has already stood up to my daughter using it in the garden, plus is looks really nice once cleaned up and put away. Still has some shine to it.


You can find the LifeWell Hand Trowel on Amazon.

Lanier Garden Tools Ratcheting Pruning Shears

The last few years we have a had a small garden. This year we went a little bigger, not everything is growing but we will try those items again another year. We have a good crop of tomatoes, cucumber, and squash coming in so far. Our broccoli didn't do anything.

We are still waiting to see how our pumpkins and watermelons do. With gardening we are finding we need  some extra items in able for us to be able to do what we want to do.

Such as pruning back a tree that went dead on one side because the neighbors kids tried to climb on a tree that was too small and shocked the tree when they broke one of the branches. My husband said it should come back next year if not then we will take it down,

We also have a rose bush that needs some pruning. Years ago we moved it from the front yard to the front of the house under our daughters window. It has grown so big that we needed a better way to prune it. Having the right tools like the Lanier Garden Tools Ratcheting Pruning Shears really makes the job easier.

My husband and myself are disabled to we need all of the help we can get. The kids help and we hope they will help as we age, but someday they will have their own lives and we need to be able to do some of the yard work on our own.

We are in the process of filling up our gardening bucket with items we will need, the Lanier Garden Tools Ratcheting Pruning Shears were just one of the items we needed.

You can purchase the Lanier Ratcheting pruning shears on Amazon.


What Lanier has to say about their product.
Lanier Garden Tools Ratcheting Pruning Shears - Best Pruner for Weak Hands - 1/3 the Effort Compared to Regular Shears - Soft Grip & Ratchet Action Help Keep Your Hand Comfortable - Ultra Sharp Blade

MULTIPLY YOUR POWER - The computer designed Ratcheting Cam multiplies your power. The same ratcheting power you use to lift a car allows you to cut through branches up to one inch thick. Instead of trying to make the cut with one large difficult cut our pruner cuts through with three smaller cuts which multiplies your strength. Even if you don't have limited hand mobility who doesn't want to make work easier?
ENJOY GARDENING AGAIN - As we grow older hand strength diminishes. Also conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel make pruning painful. The ergonomic rubberized grips design gives you great control even with the lightest grip. Also the Bright Red color makes it easy to see if you lay them down in the grass.
CRAFTSMAN QUALITY - The drop forged aluminum handle is lightweight but strong. The coated hardened blade is made from High Carbon Steel so it stays sharper longer. The looped finger guard helps to give you great control while protecting your fingers. The design allows for comfortable use by either left or right handed people. The convenient locking mechanism keeps the blade closed when not in use. The built in oil sponge allows you to coat the blade which is great for storage.
GUARANTEED - We give you a five year guarantee but realistically we expect them to last five times that. When used and maintained correctly you can probably hand these shears down to your children. Any tool when used in an unintended way can fail. If you are dissatisfied with the quality or functionality of the Lanier Ratcheting Shears within 5 Years of purchase let us know and we will repair or replace them. It's that simple.
MAKES THE PERFECT GIFT - You simply can't garden without a pair of shears. And truthfully most people have very poor quality pruners. Why not give that special someone a really great pair that they will appreciate every time they use them.
