Bulb: Resting stage of a plant.

Bypass Blade: Used for precise, clean flush cuts. Ideal for new green growth. Or any other color, of course.

Chopping Axe: Axe used for cutting and chopping tree limbs or kindling in cross-section. But if you have splitting to do, spring for a splitting axe.

Comfort Grip®: Cushioned grip for better comfort and control. Lots fewer blisters, too.

Container Gardening: Gardening in pots or other containers rather than planting in the soil. Almost anything can be used - redwood planters, ceramic urns, late-model used cars.

Ratchet: A mechanism that operates on the principle of the lever to increase hand power.
