These birds were so reasonably priced and they add charm to the garden. They have a nice slightly rusty finish which makes them antique-like. I love them!

This actually worked well in the oven inside the house. But the first time it went outside to the gas BBQ it broke. I did not have the probe in any flames, it was in the chicken and the lid was closed to minimize flare-ups. If they would have advertised this for indoor oven only use, I may have said a nice thing or two about it.
I'm not sure if I will try to go through the hassle of trying to find another probe (don't know if they sell them), the hassle of returning the unit, or the hassle of kicking myself whenever I see it in my kitchen wondering why I did not pay more attention to the negative reviews.
Very pleased with this cover. Previously bought the umbrella cover manufactured by the same company so I did know the material weight prior. This is the heavy canvas type material not the vinyl type, so it will last. This manufacturer has two styles, a slightly cheaper model line made from the same material, but without the bottom dark brown accent piece. I chose this Veranda line as it looks a bit nicer.

I never have left a review before, but this is a new low. I was excited, even with this price tag. First use, it was working for 10 minutes, then it stopped turning. I was under the 5 LB food limit, so it doesn't make sense. Okay, I tasted the meat after cooking and it was not better than a plastic bag marinade.
I read all the warnings about broken woks, but I ordered anyway. Sure enough, it arrived at my door in two big pieces. However, Amazon is run the way you wish all companies were run. In less than 15 minutes I had the thing boxed up and labeled for a free trip back to Amazon. By the end of the week, I had my new wok, in one piece. That's service!
I had a devil of a time getting the factory coating off the thing. I ended up burning the heck out it in my outdoor BBQ. I highly recommend that method btw. Then I washed it thoroughly, and boiled water in it to really clean it up. Now it's on it's way to being well-seasoned.
This thing is a really big chunk of cast iron and it gets HOT, which is great for stir-frying. I'd ... Read More:

Works as well as advertised, and is a very flexible system. You can grow other herbs or fruiting plants from cuttings - I grew vietnamese mint with a lot of success. The pump is almost inaudible and it puts out a lot of light for the wattage.
However, if you are getting it as a way of saving money, forget it. It uses too much power. If you are getting it as an easier alternative to pot plants, and you live in a house or apartment that gets a lot of light, then I think you might get more enjoyment out of using dirt to plant your herbs in - and it would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly. But if, like me, you live in an apartment or terrace house that never gets direct sun, it is the only way you can grow herbs or tomatoes. That's ... Read More:

This sucker is truly awesome at getting rid of annoying critters. I've been able to kill wasps, mosquitos, spiders, even large crickets, altho the crickets do take more exposure to shocks than the other smaller type bugs.
The weight of the handle and quality of construction will make you think twice about swinging it quickly to try and swat flies, but other than that, it's a great item and does what is says it does and slightly more. Like I said, I can kill a pretty big cricket with this thing, something I frankly know wouldn't be possible with a AAA battery model.

This is definitely the size you want if you are growing cherry tomatoes. The standard size was just too small and at the highest light setting, the tomatoes were growing past and burning. I would have liked to know when to plant the salad in conjunction with the tomatoes because it looks like the salad will be finished growing before the tomatoes are ready to eat.
If growing the cherry tomatoes, you really do want the trellis system because it is next to impossible to rig up something to fit. I ended up cutting a piece of plastic fencing to wrap around the whole unit to hold the plants upright. They seriously fall over and look like they are going to fall out.

Here's my usage: 1 acre surrounded with chain link fence - and I have to do both sides; plus 200 feet of concrete driveway; three out-buildings; 16 trees, posts, etc.; another couple hundred feet of shrub beds.
First - chain link fence and trimmers do not play nicely together. Prior to this trimmer, a trip through this yard with electric or gas meant several reels of line. With this trimmer - slightly more than one reel! I've had this for the entire 2008 mowing season. It does a better job of actually trimming along the fence than any gas or electric trimmer I have used in the last 35 years - period.
Second - power is not an issue unless you are trying to clear heavy stuff that hasn't been kept trimmed.
This is a great picnic table for the price. My daugher loves it and it's nice to have a kids seating area that's shaded. Some of the reviews I had read before I purchased this item said that adults can sit as this table, however, I wouldn't recommend that. The bench is not strong enough to support an adults weight.
