I *heart* the Cobrahead. And I’m going to have to try those hemp gloves. Fun.

[...] Gardening I have a wee catnip seedling and an even-more wee lemon balm seedling growing on my windowsill. A broadleaf thyme cutting I planted taught me a hard lesson about misting young leaves in the mid-afternoon and encouraging leaf burn. Poo. Oh well, ever onward, upward. Oh, I also have three lavender seeds in an Earthplug I’m quite excited about. [...]

[...] These kits from our neighbors to the north, however, appear far more appealing. Each kit includes a package of organically cultivated seeds, organic soilless growing mix, expanded clay pellets, and growing instructions. (No peat!) [...]

And to make this rundown easier to find—I’m likely to update it as I stumble upon other suitable candidates—I’ve linked it to Sustainability 101 on the sidebar to your right. (It makes sense to be listed there, no? Well I think so and I’m not taking any lip from anyone.) [...]

Nice idea with the recycled materials. I work for a company that is trying to sell recycled plastic pellets extracted from landfills. Maybe we can approach some manufacturers of these kids of tools.

I’m pretty sure Snow & Nealley tools are still made in the US (Maine, no less). This gardener loves them. And her axe-weilding husband loves their axes & mauls.

[...] Has no one thought of making gardening boots out of recycled rubber? Surely there’s a market. (The more-entrepreneurial among you should really consider running with this idea.) These booties have been the eco-friendliest I’ve found so far—made in the USA, remarkably for Target—but we have plenty of scope for improvement. And while I’m decrying the dearth of green gardening tools, whither the tree-hugging gardening implements with handles made from sustainably harvested bamboo? An entire business could fit quite cozily in this niche. C’mon, people, hop to it! [...]

Looking at that CobraHead is giving me serious tool envy!
