		<description><![CDATA[The CoolBot &#8220;turns any brand of off-the-shelf, window-type air conditioning unit (purchased separately) into a turbo-charged cooling machine. With it, you can transform a highly-insulated room into a walk-in cooler, keeping your vegetables fresh and thermostatically controlled cool down to 32° F!&#8221; And it&#8217;s only $300. Combined with a $300-500 air conditioner, CoolBot promises to [...]]]></description>

This may come in handy for some, a display of all of the tools I have for indoor seed starting. This is for starting about 2,500 veggie seedlings. I have homebuilt, fluorescent-lit plant racks, and use mostly 38- and 72-cell plug sheets. Most of these tools are used always, some not as much: 1. The [...]]]></description>

So far, it&#8217;s more than living up to the recommendations that lead me to it. Book summary: &#8220;Micro eco-farmers profit on small acreages, small-town backyards, urban lots, and even in basements. Here&#8217;s how they succeed, how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Wheel hoes are excellent! I started using one last season, though I&#8217;d been reading about them for a while—what took me so long?! They cut major time from straight cultivating, weeding between-row and paths where you&#8217;d usually use some type of hand hoe. Mine is from Valley Oak, and I&#8217;m absolutely happy with it. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In North America, at least, the EarthWay Precision Seeder is in a class of its own. This is in good part due to the fact that it&#8217;s also the only seeder in its price range&#8230; Inexpensive at around $100US, it&#8217;s widely used in market gardens and nurseries, and probably larger home gardens as well. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
These Gilmour hose menders and couplers are absolutely brilliant. I discovered them last season, after messing around for years with regular brass fittings and hose clamps. Made of nylon, with stainless steel screws, they&#8217;re light, durable, and feel like precision parts. Inserting and screwing tight are both smooth and straightforward. They&#8217;re no more expensive than [...]]]></description>

Simple and effective, these folding bag holders are great, except in anything more than a light breeze. Here, I was using them to fill large leaf bags with grass mulch. This has been my only use for them so far, and they&#8217;re worth it just for that. But they&#8217;d come in handy for any sort [...]]]></description>

If you mess about a lot with hoses, you can save a lot of time with quick couplers. I&#8217;ve only used these brass ones with zero problems, and there are plastic versions which may be just durable. In my case, where I&#8217;m more or less hand irrigating a couple of acres, dragging around and joining [...]]]></description>
