I must admit I am a bit of a princess when it comes to mud & stuff, but this kit has forced me to brave it and sort out my garden. The range of tools is good and they are fairly hardwearing. If you are doing any serious hard work you will need something a bit more specific than this, but this is a great all-rounder and a really useful gift.
The kit comprises of: pink basket with removable handle to keep everything organised, heavy-weight gloves for dealing with thorny hedges & plants, light-weight gloves which are great for keeping you clean and splinter-free, ball of string for training plants, handheld size fork, handheld size trowel, kneeling mat perfect for resting your knees and keeping your clothes clean, pruning ...

Infinitely easier and less hassle than the old 'wrap it round a glass' technique. They do dry out faster than coir plant pots, though. It would also be great if it were possible to get them in a larger size for potting on. Over all, I love it and would recommend it.

When I was going to bed after midnight Thursday, a mouse ran across the floor in front of me. Straight back to computer, booted up, and ordered some snap traps from somewhere. Then I started reading about how sometimes they don't always kill outright and the results can be messy. So, after further investigation I ended up at Amazon and ordered this rat zapper by express delivery. On Friday morning when I had a good look around, the mouse had gnawed through into a container of multi-grain flour. I left the flour in situ but made sure everything else was properly sealed. Saturday morning, more nibbles at the flour and some mouse droppings, but also my rat zapper arrived. Batteries in (after an often mentioned struggle) then I baited it with a ... Read More:

This cauliflower looked good in the garden and on the plate. It keeps its beautiful colour when cooked and tastes better than 'ordinary' cauliflower.

I ignored all the reviews that said this device was rubbish listening only to Mr Blobby. This has wasted me £15 and has led to a greater mouse problem with one even in my bed last night. Aaaaargh absolute nightmare and i am trying hard to respect life and resolve the problem in a humane manner, this is definitely not the way to do it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

We live in rural Devon and we'd been plagued by wood mice for 15 years - in all parts of our house, doing £100s of damage. Since we installed this device over a year ago, they've left us alone. Still rife in the garden & outbuildings, and in neighbours' houses, but our house is currently wood mouse free...
So I'd say, give it a try. Maybe its effectiveness varies from species to species. Could be the people it's not working for are dealing with house mice (grey/black urban animals) rather than wood mice (brown rural counterparts).

I bought a three pack of these; planted them up and hung them outside the back door. Two tomatoes and a courgette. Easy to put together and plant up - care needs to be taken when putting the young plants in. All growing well and looking forward to a good crop. Will update with progress.

I had a problem with squirrels in my roofspace - they were living under a converted loft floor. Having read the reviews I bought one of these traps and set it outdoors using a Snickers bar as the bait. Half an hour later I caught my first squirrel. They obviously like Snickers as it had eaten the lot. There's no point buying a more expensive version of this product - it works really well.
It's well designed too, with a protective plate to stop the squirrel from nipping your fingers when you pick up the cage to transport it. I was able to release the squirrels unharmed in a nearby wood.
