Back Yard Playground Equipment
Among the seven different swing designs and other playground equipment is the WHIRLEY-GIG. My grandchildren guarantee this to be the wildest, most fun, back yard ride ever developed. The unique swing hanger protects the tree limb from injury, acting as a hinge to reduce rope friction and wear.

Tire Horse Swing
This now world famous, adorable, durable horse, cut and folded from a single tire, swings and bucks. It is as gentle and safe for toddlers as it is wild for aggressive older children. Included with this kit is a full size horse swing pattern for a 14 or 15 inch tire.

Solar Raised Bed Planters
If you are tired of getting "down and dirty" this garden is for you! Standing or sitting, elevated "comfort" gardening
is up close and personal because raised bed gardening provides hand and leaning support. Seniors, those with balance issues, the bending and reaching impaired, and even wheelchair bound persons enjoy these raised garden plots!

Super Productive Gardening
Detailed instructions for vertical gardening in solar retainers provide maximum yields in minimum space and time, with less effort, and with less water. In addition, there is minimum weeding, less bending over, reduced insect pests, and the elimination of ground rot. All produce is exposed to the sun for even ripening and is visible for harvesting at it's prime.

Superior Composter
This composter is superior to any other composter on the market, at any price, and this one is FREE. It is more durable, versatile, and easier to load, mix/aerate, and recover and store the finished humus. Included are detailed instructions for Casual Composting, Accelerated Composting (humus in 14 days), and Vermi Composting (with the aid of redworms).
*S&N
 
   



 


Portable Coldframe
Bring plants to the coldframe or move the coldframe to the plants Use it for starting seeds and cuttings, forcing bulbs, accelerating strawberries, and more.

Retaining Walls
Landscaping with free materials is an appealing alternative. These attractive retaining walls are a series of containers made from tires with one or both sidewalls removed and left right side out or turned inside out. When maintaining their natural color, as the plants cascade over them, they recede to shadow and visually disappear, leaving a lush hillside of foliage. Or, you can paint them to enhance and  further hide their identity.     
*S
 

   




Lawn and Garden Edging
Tire edging is flexible, will last indefinitely, and is safe. You can kneel on it in comfort and it will not be harmed by the lawn mower. From a 15-inch tire, you will gain about seven feet of edging, 6 to 8 inches deep.

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!
