The Air-Pots can be used on plants and trees and produces non-spiraling root systems that are impossible to develop in any other available container.

The Husqvarna robotic mower has GPS navigation to help it manage complex yards. and nimbly climbs and descends slopes up to 25-degrees. The three pivoting blades cut from all directions, which helps prevent mold and gives the lawn a nice, clean-cut look.
One of the best features of this robot mower is that it adapts its mowing length to the growth pattern of your lawn.

If the Husqvarna Automower needs to run through a small opening to get from one section of the lawn to another repeatedly, it won’t scalp that area. This is truly a smart mower.
The Husq mower will return to the charger when the battery gets low or when the weather gets too bad, but it does mow in the rain. So Dad can just sit back and relax. Seriously, unusual gifts for him don’t get much better than this.
