Handy Tips

I was at Costco the other day and a checkout person gave me a good tip. I'm sure that you have been to Costco and found that the product that you came for is no longer stocked. Well, there's no way to make Costco start carrying the product again but you can stock up when that is about to happen. Check the price tag that floats above the pile of product. If there is a star on the tag, the item is being phased out. If the bar code ends in 97, the product is being phased out. Either of these is your signal to stock up if the product is among your favorites.
If you are an avid gardener like me you are probably sick and tired of the sites produced by your Google search that are mainly commercial sites with limited information but tons of stuff to sell. There is a way to insure that the information is the best available and, more importantly, reliable. In your Google search type in the following:
site:.edu home garden
Your search will take you to various College and University sites that have tons of information on any gardening subject that you want to know about. The only things for sale are College and University published items and you can be sure that the information is backed up by exhaustive research. My recent Google search brought up sites from University of Maryland, University of Connecticut, Cornell University and Ohio State University, just to name a few. This is a valuable way to get the information that you need for free and avoid the clutter that you get with a less directed search. You can also be sure that the information is accurate and that the information isn't just a sales pitch.
