Show of hands : How many sentence have you pass into the garden , merely to water the plant or refill the bird bath … and then find yourself trudging back to the house with the bottom of your shirt rolled up , satiate with a bunch of Lycopersicon esculentum you had n’t stand for to glean , while you beguile another fistful of peppers … all because you did n’t need to make multiple slip ? ( Am I the only one who does this ? ? )
There are day when I care I would ’ve worn a larger shirt . Or one that was n’t blanched . Or I could just bring a basket out with me every meter I go in the garden … but I always block and then I ’m too lazy to run back to the house for one .
For hoi polloi like me , there ’s the Roo , which was given to me for a hands - on ( or is it hand - off ? ) review .
TheRoois a horticulture proscenium , but that does n’t mean you ’re expect to chef up a farm - to - ramification repast right there in your garden . It ’s a cross of an apron and a collection pouch that makes harvesting easier . Think of it as a peregrine basket or wheelbarrow that you wear .
The apron is in full adjustable , with strap that tie in the back as well as electric cord that can be tangle at different lengths to cut or lengthen the pouch as need .
Not only is it ready to hand for harvesting the fruit of your undertaking ( I ’ve filled it with several pounds of citrus fruit and the proscenium felt quite sturdy ) , but it ’s also double-dyed for the little Job , like holding weed , medulla , seed packets , or maybe a bottle of piss while you ’re cast around the yard .
But the key feature film of the Roo is what happensafteryou collect everything in the pouch .
commonly , I care to harvest a lot of things at once . bend down to a handbasket after every handful can be a pain , literally , and then you have to keep go your handbasket around as it gets heavy and arduous . With the Roo , I can apace collect a pocket full offeijoaswithout breaking my rhythm . ( If you have a feijoa Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , you know these thing cast off to the primer in bucket load ! )
When the pocket fills up , I simply pull the cords on the side to release the Roo …
The apron unfurls and out come tumble all the feijoa into my harvest basket .
Reattach the cords , harvest , fill , and release again . This simple proscenium has really made muscular harvest time day much more convenient and easy on the back . It ’s modest enough to stash on a shelf or hang from a hook , so you really have no excuse not to have it penny-pinching by for all your garden job .
As I use the Roo more and more , I find plenty of other function for it too — most recently , to meet a bundle of pale yellow to mulch my beds with . And with these blustery day of gloam , you could also use it to move piles of stagnant leaves around . The water - immune nylon interior hold on you high and dry , but the whole garment is machine washable should you get a short too harvest well-chosen in the grime .
For one prosperous success , Roo is giving away a cotton wool apron ( $ 29.95 economic value ) in yourchoice of color — or your bed one ’s colouring of choice , as this would make a nifty Christmas talent for the green thumb in your life ! ( You might reckon it ’s too other to set off thinking about Christmas , but I just heard my first rendition of “ Carol of the Bells ” on telly last hebdomad — replayed double an time of day , every time of day — so do n’t even get me started ! )
The giveaway will end at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time on Friday , November 16 , 2012 . Winner will be draw at random and foretell the next hebdomad . just luck !
