I have the two 3' x 7' garden boxes.  Wish I would have made them raised like HD said when I made them.  Could still do it.  Well I planted one box full of 3 kinds of lettuce that I mixed all of the seeds up and planted them.  Once it got going the two of us couldn't eat it fast enough.  Even had green smooties in the morning and they were great!  This year I think I will do a half a  box so a 3' x 3 1/2' area.  It is one thick growth of lettuce.  I go cut what I want with a scissors.  Worked great and I am not much of a gardener.  Most fun thing cuz I like salads. Afraid to buy lettuce in the stores...

Not exactly a new marketing strategy. Keep 'em in the store longer lookin for what they came for & they'll buy a few extra things they didn't want or need. They all do it, specailly grocery stores like Hy Vee. The same reason why the bread & milk are usually in the back of the store unless you buy their brand which is 1/2 again the price which they have a small display of in the front. 

[Rebel SS]

And low markup brands are always on bottom shelf, and impulse items at check-out...

The Walmart-ization of FF continues. It used to be like an old shoe. You knew where stuff was, there was some logic to it and they didn't mess with it, much. And arrangement was consistent from store to store. Now as has been mentioned it's wholesale movement of categories to other parts of the store. Sometimes it's seasonal related which I get and other times it appears to be just for the fun of it. Now, I will say at the Owatonna store they haven't messed with the grilling/smoking stuff & the batteries are still where they always were. Otherwise it's become like going on a scavenger hunt to shop there.
