It randomly happened that one of the winners of our Parrot Flower Power giveaway was right here in Los Angeles. Linda stopped by to pick up her Flower Power today and was going to put it to use at her new house right here in the San Fernando Valley! Congratulations to Linda. I hope you have a great experience with the Flower Power.

Parrot has been very gracious and sent me Flower Power garden sensors to give away to 2 lucky readers/viewers of A Gardener’s Notebook. I have been using my own Flower Power to monitor plants in my garden and found it to be an amazing device.
Parrot Flower Power: An incredible sensor that assesses your plants’ needs and sends alerts to your smartphone
Flower Powercommunicates to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth and reports on:
Moisture levels
Fertilizer levels
Temperature
Sunlight
You can tell the Flower Power which specific plant you are monitoring and whether it is growing in your garden soil or in a container, and it will make intelligent recommendation and provide alerts when the conditions are not optimal. The built-in Plant Database contains thousands of plants to choose from.
My fellow Saturday6 member, Kylee Baumlee, is giving away one of these cool compost buckets. This could be the one that finally meets all my criteria. I have been making-do with this container or another, but this system seems like it might make my composting life just a bit easier.

So I started over, reviewed the list of things you can compost, and after about a week with no smell and no fruit flies, I declared the Full Circle Fresh Air Kitchen Composter a success. The bags they use are fairly tough bags of this kind, but you should be careful when handling them and not be too rough with them. They “breathe,” which allows any heat build-up to escape, as well as excess gases which may form as scraps begin to decompose. When it’s full (or sooner), you just take the bag out and throw it in the compost bin, bag and all.

I entered this giveaway for this cool take on a terrarium from one of my fellow Saturday6 members — Douglas
Earlier this year, I received a new product introduced by Batson’s Foliage Group, a family-owned business in Florida, called Enviro-Cakes™. I’d read about it in their newsletter, wrote to Kelley to tell her how awesome I thought the product looked, and she offered to send one to me.
When it arrived, I got a kick out of the box and its handwritten labeling…
