Composting bins are a great solution for many gardeners who want to be able to create a sizable amount of compost in a small area, and who don’t want to fuss with building dedicated compost piles with wood boards, timbers, and nails. The Garden Gourmet Composter is an excellent option for those looking for a simple, convenient, ground-based compost system, and many gardeners will find it to be quite useful. Made from 100% recycled materials and designed with ultra-simple assembly, the Garden Gourmet can hold up to 82 Gallons of Compost. Throw your compost materials in the top, stir it around a bit, and after some time, fresh compost will be available at the bottom opening.

It’s a clever system, and we look at the Garden Gourmet in detail below.

The Vantage Vue 6250, from Davis Instruments, is a weather station that will be a perfect addition to any yard because of its incredible feature set. Unlike more basic weather stations, the Davis Vantage Vue comes with the ability to measure almost any weather phenomenon, not just rainfall, temperature, and humidity. Most measurements are updated in less than 3 seconds, making it perfect for the savvy independent forecaster.

The major takeaway from this weather station is the absurd amounts of data which it can transmit, especially historical, and looking at periods of over 25 days. If you’re a data kind of person, then the Vantage Vue 6250 may be for you.

The Davis Vantage Vue 6250 won the Best Wireless Weather Station in our Review Round-Up.

Let’s take a look at some of the details.
