The Big Boys of Lawn Care

Ad for a gigantic leaf blower attachment
A friend sent me this ad, which she saw on gardenrant.com.

Shoot, if only I'd known it was the size of your tool that made yard care easy, I could have gotten it done a lot sooner and then had more time to play video games. As long as I (and all my neighbors) wear earplugs.

On a different -- but somehow compatible -- yard and garden note, I heard an unbelievable sponsorship statement on MPR a few days ago. It went something like this:

Sponsored by Scotts MiracleGro. Reminding homeowners to sweep fertilizer off their driveways to keep groundwater clean. Scotts. Dedicated to a beautiful world.
Checking out the Scotts website just now, I note that not only do they own MiracleGro, RoundUp, Ortho, and Osmocote.... they also own Smith & Hawken.
