Legal Mumbo-jumbo: Blackthumb Bob, the author of this page, and all people who provide product reviews do so with the understanding that they can in no way be held accountable or liable for any loss that results from following their advice, directly given or implied. Readers assume full and sole responsibility for their actions and waive all claims, past, present, and future that results from following or not following the advice given here. Readers may assume that products reviewed are done so by individuals without any connection to the product.  Reviewers who submit to this column do so without expectation of payment of any kind and with the assertion that they are non-biased on behalf of or against the product being reviewed by virtue of personal interest in product reviewed or competing product. Readers acknowledge that sarcasm and farce are elements of humor and expect that some content is intended to be humorous. Basically, if you read this column, you agree not to sue anybody related to the column.

This column is intended to provide feedback on products available to gardeners.  Readers are encouraged to submit their own reviews of gardening products,

Anyone may submit reviews of gardening products, but let's be fair.  Don't review YOUR OWN product and say how great it is.  Also, don't review a competing product and say it is awful.

Product suppliers may submit comments about their product, but be honest about it -- state that you are the supplier/manufacturer and don't try to come off like a neutral party.  Supplier comments will be clearly identified as such and other consumers will be invited to review the product.  If you have a good product, this is free advertising!

When reviewing a product, try to follow the format of the reviews already on the site.  Try to make some comments on each of the points in the outline:

Product Descriptions
Your Review
Your Rating (Say how many "Thumbs" you want it to have)
Pros
Cons
Cost
Who makes it (Company)
Availability (where do you get it)

If you identify yourself as a supplier and provide an e-mail address, an e-mail link to you will be included with your comments.  Other individuals will be listed without the e-mail link.  Please give notice if you DO NOT want your name included with your review.
