Gardening Buying Tips
π Battery Platform Strategy
Pick one battery ecosystem (EGO, Greenworks, or Ryobi) and stick with it. Shared batteries across mower, trimmer, and blower save hundreds over buying separate chargers.
π Match Tools to Your Zone
Your USDA hardiness zone determines which tools matter most. Zone 3-5: prioritize snow-capable equipment. Zone 7+: invest in irrigation and shade solutions.
π Start Small, Scale Up
A 4x4 raised bed is the perfect starter size. Master one bed before adding more. Most beginners over-invest in space and under-invest in soil quality.
