Brome Squirrel Buster Plus Bird Feeder

July 21st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Lawn and Garden

If you love watching the birds feed at your house, but you don’t want those darn squirrels robbing the birds of seed in the process then you just might love the Brome Squirrel Buster Plus. It’s an excellent bird feeder that gets the job of feeding your local avian friends done without sacrificing a lot of cash to feed the squirrels who are just going to end up burying most of what they take any way. This feeder is designed for smaller birds such as finches, sparrows and similar sized species, but it does an excellent job of keeping the squirrels from getting their paws on the seed supply which means that the birds you’re watching won’t be driven off every few minutes by an industrious but destructive squirrel. I found this feeder extremely easy to clean which is nice during seasonal clean outs to prevent seed rot. The ventilation of the feeder also helps preserve the freshness of the seeds because if you’re going to be feeding the local birds, it’s always good to make sure that you are providing them with a healthy food source that they will be able to take full advantage of.

While it costs around $80, this feeder is worth the money because it will last for years and it comes with a life time warranty. Those of us who love bird watching, even if only as a spare time activity, know that this is a long term interest so a solid investment is going to give us, the kids or grand kids some great times together as a family down through the years.

Craftsman 38905 Lawn Mower

July 31st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Lawnmowers

Those that want to maintain their lawn nicely but don’t want to have to pay for a landscaper to come out or invest heavily in a lawn mower will find that the Craftsman 38905 is an excellent value because as far as gas push lawn mowers go, it is an extremely affordable value. At well under $250, you really can’t get a better mower and the name brand really is quality in this case. One of the biggest pains about running a lawn mower, especially a gas model, is having to yank on the rip cord to get it started up. This model’s recoil starter is exceptionally sturdy and you aren’t going to have to pull on it a few dozen times to get the mower started – that’s a nice back saver and you are sure to appreciate it once you have had the mower for a while and see that it doesn’t fall apart the way many other mowers end up doing. The bag is also incredibly simple to change which is a big plus and since this mower mulches, you can actually just haul the bag over to your garden and add the grass clippings right away or put them in your mulch pile. The 190cc Briggs & Stratton engine is very powerful so you won’t have to worry about a poor job, it will leave your lawn looking great after the first round.

All in all, this is a very affordable mower that has precious few issues so I definitely feel it’s a good one to have if you are serious about lawn care and sticking to your budget, too.
