I will start by saying I am trying to consume a lot less in my life, but due to circumstance I need to start again in my life. I am also trying to degoogle not use Amazon etc.
With this in mind I prefer to buy a decent value product and look at the options however I have noticed that I keep coming across comparisons and over and over it’s driven by ‘check price at Amazon’. Amazon has ruined decent reviews for me. All anyone wants to do is sell Amazon tat at me. Anyone else have this problem of too much chafe when trying to research decent products?
I was actually looking at gardening equipment which is a bit niche for there. I think I am missing the days where people tried stuff out and commented on it rather than ‘tried this from there it’s great go buy at retailer abc’ I had the same problem recently with kitchen utensils. I don’t want tons of plastic ones. I wanted a small selection of decent tools. It was frustrating wading through the crap to find good reviews and verdicts on what is/isn’t essential.
Zwilling tends to be good quality for kitchen stuff, especially the all purpose scissors. Also the cheap Victorinox knives are good.
For garden hoses get any brass fitting, they last forever and you can replace the o-rings when they get brittle or worn down
I am after a compost tumbler. A bit specific 🤣
I can recommend a black and decker compost tumbler (I think from Home Depot) I’ll try to find a link

I am not in the USA so can’t access home depot. Is it this one https://www.blackanddecker.com/products/bdstga9701
It’s nice and high, Does it turn easy?
It make be a good choice in this use case, but I am just fed up with everything being made of plastic.
I have been trying to not buy plastic everything too. That was one of my gripes with my kitchen stuff.
With this I have to admit plastic is the right product. It needs to be light enough to turn and I suspect if it’s metal or wood it would get corroded too quick.
I’m picking and choosing my battles.
Me too!
