"NATIONAL HOME GARDENING CLUB" has been around for a long time that I know of, I was just talking about this club to someone the other day..
I was a member a few years back, they do send a free pruner with your sign up, but it may vary from sign up to sign up... The pruners weren't the greatest, and I even called back and said something to them, as if those were the tools they were sending, um, I wanted to know WHO tested these ones and throw them off the testing board, cause they'd been nippin' at something...
They send me a lovely pair again, apologized and I used them alot until I found FISKAR's!!!
But anyways, I never was asked to test any, I would imagine that the amount of members vs. the amount of testing products is limited, so, one member may never see any products and one may see a pair of gloves, and I never personally knew anyone that tested the rototillers, or large machinery, but I would imagine for the most part it's on the up and up...
I personally loved the little magazine that came in the packaging, with the one dollar a month, it' was called
Gardening HOW-TO I believe... I liked the lay out and the basicness of it for gardeners, lot's of good advice... * I personally was getting something like 27 magazines, and due to lack of $$$ and not working I had to give ALL of my magazines up, it was expensive after a while, but if I could join back up for magazines, I would be doing that one for one of my firsts to do so....and for $1.00 an issue, where can you find a magazine for that price.
I could give it my Weezie's
but the magazine was well worth it!!!
