Save Time with New Home & Garden Tools

As the weather gets cooler, homeowners are making mental checklists of fall chores in the yard to get the lawn and garden ready for winter. This year there are a number of new garden tools available that can help you decrease your work time.

• Mowing the lawn right up until the first frost is important. Safety is always a big concern when using mowers, trimmers, weed whackers and edgers. Lawn mowers and trimmers are on the market now using new blade materials which greatly reduce the chance of injury while a self-sharpening blade technology keeps the blades sharp.. They also eliminate the highly frustrating job of replacing the fishing line used in weed whackers.
  
  
• If you're planning a deck, porch, or patio project for fall, forget about nails and screws. Think hidden deck fasteners. Over the past decade, hidden deck fasteners have become easy to use, affordable, and preferred because they create a durable, high-end hardwood floor look without the high costs.
  
  
• Gardeners will be interested to learn that new wireless weather technology can play a key role in their success. Some of the instruments available include wireless weather stations with solar and ultraviolet radiation sensors, soil moisture and leaf wetness probes, and even computer software that allows gardeners to track, graph and analyze historical data.
  
  Gardeners also need to keep in mind they could have more than one microclimate on their property, especially if one side of the house is shaded and protected from the wind while the other side gets direct sunlight and strong wind.
  
  
• Extended Wear Bionic Gloves are designed for gardeners that find themselves digging in the garden with their hands, rather than their tools. We all know there's times when you just have to get the hands right into the dirt to get out a stubborn plant or weed. These gloves provide longer wear on the finger tips.
  
  
• When your garden doesn't match any strictly geometric shapes that standard sprinklers cover, you need something a little more flexible to reach those out of the way areas. The Noodlehead Flexible Sprinkler System is the answer. This very flexible system allows an almost unlimited variety of watering patterns. You simply bend the 'noodles', or sprinkling head components in any direction you need. Great for entertaining the kids insummer too!
