As most gardeners know, the secret to big healthy blooms is to feed your plants regularly. One way of doing this is through composting.
I love the concept, but have always shied away from it because of it's appeal to the local skunks and racoons. But I've found a composter worth trying!

All I can say is that I wish I had this when my kids were babies! The Dex Baby Nursery Organizer is a must have for anyone still in (or starting) the baby-stage.
Easy to use and full of organizational bonuses, it is a major step up in terms of storage from diaper holders of the past, which were designed to hold diapers… but not much else.

I'm all about using those unused spaces. You know, the ones you don't think about; under cabinets, behind doors, under beds…
My product this week takes advantage of some of that space. The Wrap N Roll Holder by Spectrum is a great, inexpensive storage solution that you can hang on the wall, on the back of a door, or inside a cabinet door!
The Wrap n Roll Holder is 13.25"H x 13.13"W x 6.63"D and can hold a roll of paper towels, a box of storage bags, and a roll of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. All in one handy place and so easy to access! The durable white coating over steel means no rust and years of life.

My favorite products are the ones that make use of wasted space. Sometimes we don't even realize we have wasted space until we see something that's been designed to fit there, like the Spice-n-Store Spice Rack!
I could think of so many uses for this!!
I'd put a couple in my kitchen, of course, for spices. But I would use one in my utility room for crews, nails and picture hanging supplies. I'd mount one in my office for staples, paper clips and rubber bands.

Whether you have a laundry room, a laundry closet or just a corner of your garage, the Brabantia Door Drying Rack is a great space saver!

An over the door rack takes up no floor space, no wall space, and can remain virtually invisible if you want.

This is an awesome garment rack! Because of its portability, I use it for my frequent flea market sales, and for winter coat storage.
