Multipurpose Garden Produce Basket

The Mod Hod, a Gardener’s Supply Co. exclusive, is a multipurpose garden produce basket that allows you to harvest and rinse your produce outdoors to avoid making a mess in the kitchen, or to stack and store your fresh vegetables indoors. The fold-out legs of the Mod Hod keep produce off the ground while you hose it off, and also allow everything to drip-dry before being taken inside. Up to three Mod Hods can be stacked for space-saving storage in the kitchen, pantry, mudroom, etc. The Mod Hod is made with long-lasting, easy-care polypropylene, and it simply needs to be rinsed off with a hose to be cleaned.

Pole Saw

The Black & Decker LPP120 Cordless Pole Saw makes trimming taller trees and shrubs a breeze.

At just a little over 6 pounds, the pole saw is simple to control, and the 8-inch cutting bar lets you easily power through branches up to 6 inches in diameter. When not in use, the saw disassembles to a more compact size, and it comes with a blade guard for safe handling.

The sprayer weighs only 3 pounds, features a 30-inch shaft with a 16-ounce tank, and runs on four AA batteries, which means you no longer have to stop spraying to pump. The sprayer can be used for continuous spray around sidewalks, fences, and patios; for spot spraying between plants in gardens and raised beds, with no overspray; for broadcast spraying, such as gravel driveways and walking paths; and for overhead spraying, like reaching eaves where wasps and other insects have built homes, all while standing on the ground. Simply fill the tank with your choice of weed killer, point the sprayer at the weeds, and press the button.
