So whether you’ve gotta show your overgrown shrubs who’s boss or need to bring the smack down on some border grass, here’s your new weapon.

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.

    I wish I was a more skillful gardener and will be spending most of the summer figuring out how to become one :)

    I NEED SKILLS – I need the skills to stop myself from buying clothes on super clearance even when I don’t need them….I just can’t leave them looking all sad on the hanger. I feel as though they need a good home, even if I don’t need a fifth black sweater.
