Recycled Aluminum Large Frog Hose Holder
We can think of few things more boring than hose holders, so when we saw one that 1) had loads of personality and style and
2) was made from recycled aluminum, we were more than a little excited! This is a hose holder that actually looks better
as it ages. In fact, to get it off to a good start, you get a choice of finish: verdigris, rust or weathered limestone.
When was the last time a hose holder added beauty to your home?

Recycled Plastic Lumber Adirondack Chair
We thought that maybe you would picture a recycled plastic chair as something rather hideous-looking. That's why we wanted to
show a picture of it. As you can see, it's a really nice piece of outdoor furniture. And it's more durable than wood could
ever hope to be and it comes in a variety of backyard-friendly colors. Plus it's maintenance free, and although it's
pricier than wood furniture, it's less expensive in the long run because this chair will never wear out (in fact, it's got
a warranty!). How come it's so long-lasting? It's made from milk jugs and plastic scrap. Those things would last forever in
your local landfill - isn't it nicer to have them made into long-lasting yard furniture?

Attack Squad Beneficial Insects
With their light green bodies and gossamer wings, lacewings are pretty little insects. Who would have thought that they
are also one of the best beneficial creatures you could have in your yard? Their hungry larvae can't get enough of aphids,
mealybugs, immature scales and whiteflies, thrips, spider mites and more - in other words, all the bad bugs you don't want
in your garden. Trichogrammas aren't as cute, but their larvae chow down the eggs of cabbageworm, tomato hornworm, corn
earworm, codling moth, cutworm, armyworm, webworm, cabbage looper and corn borer as if they're caviar! Gardens Alive will
send you 3 biweekly shipments of Lacewings and Trichogrammas to keep the pests out of your garden - a much better solution
than poisonous pesticides that are bad for you and the environment!

World's Best Cat Litter
Did you know that clay cat litter is bad for both the environment and your pet? Why use that stuff anyway when you have the
World's Best Cat Litter? It's made of good, old-fashioned, whole kernel corn and contains no additives, clay, chemicals,
perfumes or anything else harmful. It clumps and is flushable and has natural odor absorption. The Extra Strength version
(shown) is great for multi-cat households, and even though it's more expensive than clay, it'll last a lot longer too.
Our cats have been using it for years, so we can enthusiastically endorse it!

Humane Live Mouse Traps
When we discovered that our garage was housing a colony of mice, we were at a loss about what to do. Poisonous, environmentally
dangerous pesticides were out. Traditional traps were cruel. We were hoping a cat would wander by and take up residence so we didn't
have to deal with the little creatures, but our dog kept them away. Then we found this trap and thought it was a great idea!
It's a novel and humane way of catching the mice, and then you can take them a couple miles away and let them go. Perhaps
not everyone is as softhearted as we are, but we think this is a much kinder way to cope with unwanted rodent visitors.
