What is a good garden tiller to buy?

We Answered:

there are so many brands and types of tillers it can be really confusing to pick one. For small areas (10 feet by 10 feet) a really good small light weight tiller is called the MANTIS. Made by Little Wonder. Probably the best in its class. Cost is about 300.00 U.S. You see them advertised on T.V. from time to time.

For larger areas it really gets confusing and lots of choices.
Sears offers many intermediate size units that will do the job and last a reasonable amount of time with minimum problems at a good price. But if quality is job 1 and you want a machine to last for a long long time and are willling to pay the price check into B.C.S.

Troybilt used to be one of the best until they were bought out by one of the mega manufacturers but has really declined in the recent decade to nothing special except the price.

Bottom line is really an old adage that says "you get what you pay for" in the lawn a garden industry this is pretty close to true. Not always, but in general, the more pricey the equipment is the more or better material it has and the sturdier it will be.
All the companies want you to buy their product so try to make a product that will give you best performance for least dollars. Try to factor in the repair cost and ease of access to repair facilities. Check your local lawnmower shop and see what brands that they support. They can be very helpful with matching you up to the right machine and they will be able to get you parts and service quickly.

Your question really hit a nerve with me because I owned a lawnmower shop for 25 years and just shut it down a couple years ago. The fact that you have to go online to ask this question makes me think that your local shop is not very trustworthy or charges way too much so you don't go to them. It shouldn't be a stress point in your life to choose a piece of gardening equipment and your local business should help you and guide you without stressing you out.

where do you buy the tea light hangers to use inside bottles to use as garden lights?

We Answered:

My papa reckons that you should get some wire and just make some.

Or you could get some in a shop. Maybe when you go to get the wire you could check to see if they have any.

I am sure that you can put solar garden lights in your "check in" luggage if you are flying.

I am not sure if you can buy them locally.

Tell me which grow lights to buy for my indoor garden.?

We Answered:

You don't have to spend big bucks to get results from light gardening. In a two-light fixture, use one warm tube and one cool tube and you will get the full spectrum you need for seedlings and other plants. BTW, when starting seedlings indoors, brush the tops of the emerged plants once a day, (or set a nearby fan on low), to create 'environmental conditioning'. You will have healthier transplants that transition to the outdoors more quickly.
