Do You Bag-A Nut? Sweet Gum Ball Picker Review
In this episode Craig and Kevin review the Bag-A-Nut sweet gum ball picker. Kevin has several sweet gum trees in his yard and the number of balls they drop is a staggering amount. It winds up being a pretty big issue during certain times of the year, and this new picker is a game changer. If you’ve got sweet gum trees, you’ll want to listen to this episode. Or, if you have nut orchards, this might be an episode that you’ll want to listen to as well!
Introduction: In this episode of the Homeowner Show, hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams dive deep into the challenges of dealing with sweet gum trees and their pesky gumballs. As homeowners, they've faced the frustration of these spiky, stubborn balls clogging up their yards and causing issues with their lawn equipment. But fear not, they've discovered a game-changing solution that could be a lifesaver for fellow homeowners dealing with the same problem.
The Sweet Gum Ball Dilemma: Sweet gum trees are known for their beautiful foliage and impressive shade, but their gumballs can be a real nightmare for homeowners. Kevin shares his personal experience with the issue, explaining how the gumballs would get caught in his zero-turn mower's belts, leading to costly repairs and downtime. The situation had become so problematic that he was willing to invest in a solution. The Baganut Solution: Enter Baganut, a company that has developed a unique tool specifically designed to tackle sweet gum balls and other troublesome nuts and fruits. Kevin discovered this product after extensive research and was impressed by its effectiveness. The Baganut picker is a simple yet ingenious device that uses a rolling wheel with tines to scoop up the gumballs and deposit them into a collection hopper.
The Baganut Picker: Kevin walks us through the different models available from Baganut, ranging from a 12-inch push model to a 36-inch pull-behind option. The larger models even feature collapsible crates for easy disposal of the collected gumballs. The company's customer service and return policy were also noteworthy, with a 30-day guarantee on all products except the sweet gum ball picker, which they claim no one ever returns.
The Benefits and Potential: Using the Baganut picker, Kevin was able to clear his entire yard of sweet gum balls in just a few hours, a task that would have been arduous and time-consuming without the tool. He also mentions the potential for his son to use the picker to earn some extra money by offering the service to neighbors with sweet gum trees.
Conclusion: The Homeowner Show has once again provided a practical solution to a common homeowner's dilemma. The Baganut picker has proven to be a game-changer for Kevin, and it could be the answer for many other homeowners struggling with the nuisance of sweet gum balls. By sharing this innovative product, the hosts hope to empower their audience to tackle this challenge and reclaim their yards with ease.

Socket Fan Light Review
In this episode Craig and Kevin review the Bell + Howell Socket Fan Light and let me tell you, it’s pretty amazing. This device just screws directly into any standard socket, and is controlled by it’s own remote. With multiple setting for both the light and the fan, this is the easiest fan you’ll ever install! There are a few drawbacks, including its industrial feel and its size, but all in all, we are pleasantly surprised with this little gadget. We also talk about the upcoming election and invite everyone out to the Thistle on election day!

Adalov Wireless Bridge Review
In this episode Craig and Kevin review a wireless bridge system from Adalov. One of the big issues that people who have property encounter is getting internet connectivity from one building to another on their land. Adalov has solved this issue with a wireless bridge system that takes the internet from your home and broadcasts that signal to another area on your property. This is a simple product to use and it’s different than a wireless mesh system, which we address on the show. We also talk a little bit about the upcoming election and oh yeah – this is our 300th episode which we are super excited about! Thank you to all of our loyal listeners and fans who have stuck with us for this long!
