Wonderful Wednesday Contest!

Today at The Gardening Spot, Allsop Home Garden is giving away a free product to 1 of my lucky readers! Would you like to  know what it is? Well then, I think you will have to keep reading to find out!

Recently, I was asked by Allsop Home Garden to review a couple products and let them know what I think! They sent me Write & Erase Plant Tags & Pot Pads !

The Write & Erase Plant Tags came with 6 silver steel planting stakes and 6 write and erase plant tags. They have 2 sets of tags a Botanical series and an Herbal series. I recieved the Botanical series.  The tags are UV treated for year round use outside.


They come in this nice little case for storing!



I stuck a few in a pot to give you an idea of what they look like!



I used plant tag near my Pineapple Sage, just in case the Nasturtiums bury it!



As you can see 1 joined the garlic as well.
I really like these plant tags. When writing on the tags it requests that you use a Gel Ink ball point pen. They do erase when using soap and water. Which to me is a plus, this way I can move these throughout my garden and use them over and over again. Waste is not something I like to do in my garden. I look forward to using these again year after year. The steel planting sticks are very thick and sturdy.

The next product I tested out are the Pot Pads! I recieved a package of 4 in Colbalt Blue. They also come in packs of 12 and multiple other colors.



The blue part lays on the ground and the black grips to the bottom of the pot. The Pot Pads are useful in many ways. It enables plant aeration & drainage. Prevents deck rot & staining. Protects plants from bug infestation. These Pot Pads can also hold up to 3000 pounds! You are able to slide your pots along your deck without scratching. You can also use these indoors. They are like furniture movers for your pots! I thought these were great. I tested them by pulling large pots across my patio. They didnt slip out from underneath the pot, and they didnt leave marks! I especially like how they raise the pots about an inch off the ground.



I used Pot Pads under this Terra Cotta pot. See how it raises the pots of the ground. Now when I overwater, the extra water can drain into the herb garden behind it. No more wasting water for me!



The pots sitting on the Pot Pads are not wobbly. I pushed on them to test them and they stay still. Hopefully they will stand the test of animals. I will keep you posted.
