I bought this on a whim, because I recently bought a new house and wanted to lay out new garden beds, and plant a wee orchard. Gardening folks, get one of these things, like, right now. You are welcome.I used to use a regular measuring tape with strings and such to measure in the yard when I wanted to space trees and shrubs or plan garden beds. Ha. I didn't even know what I was missing out on. This gadget is excellent, and it's so easy to use it by yourself because it comes with a ground stake to hold one end down for you. With this item, you don't have to ask your spouse to begrudgingly stand in the hot sun holding one end of a measuring tape while you plan your dream garden, and they plan packing their bags and fleeing in the night. Say goodbye to begging your four year old to hold still and hold on to the end of that rusty metal measuring tape you should have thrown out years ago. Admit it. We all have one.Stake down the end of this amazing little thing and you can measure curved garden bed lines solo with ease. No more strings or twine. I've used it so much that it's getting ridiculous. I measure distances between random stuff in my yard now for no reason whatsoever, but dang, I feel so official about it when I am rolling out this flexible tape. I love it. Call me crazy, but it's lightweight, and fun to use.I now have perfectly spaced trees, have marked my front and back yard for garden plots and walkways, and can tell you the exact distances between my shed, garage, and chicken coop. All. Around. Wins. Buy one. Never look back.
