Subcompact tractors
Massey Ferguson’s line of subcompact tractors are perfect for cleaning out debris or brush, or building a retaining wall. The line responds and works like full-size, traditional tractors but offers the agility and affordability of subcompacts. A range of versatile attachments are available including mower, rotary broom, loader, backhoe or snowblower. The brake pedal placement on the left side frees up space for the side-by-side hydrostatic pedals. The dash has been reconfigured to offer more and easier-to-read, illuminated analog functions for tachometer, fuel and engine coolant gauges. READER SERVICE #69

Angel Moss hanging basket liners
Angel Moss hanging basket liners from Discoveries in Gardening, start out dry and paper-like, but they soon take shape and swell up when they are wet and hold water like a sponge. Unlike many artificial water retentive products, Angel Moss releases its stored water when the surrounding soil dries out. This natural process ensures plants are still receiving water on the days they aren’t watered. Because of its unique absorptive properties, Angel Moss reduces leaching or runoff of nutrients, releasing them over time. It also has a high zinc content which helps nullify root decay. Angel Moss comes in preformed liners which fit most baskets or basket and liner sets. READER SERVICE #70
