Salt Spreader

Do you need to apply salt to sidewalks, paths, open areas, driveways and public spaces?? Do you want to do it very quickly and get back into the warmth??

Well we have the tool for you.

Rittenhouse has had great success in the past selling spreaders to landscapers and various government bodies. This year we have swithced to a different brand ... an Earthway 2130. This spreader has a large opening in the bottom of the hopper which allows product larger in size than fertilizer to pass through and be efficiently spread. There are defelctors on 3 sides which means you can easily use it on sidewalks without throwing your salt or ice melt all over the turf.

Check it out!

Salt Spreader

We have lots of inventory and right now the price is $189.00 US.

So get prepared for winter and order yours now.

Peace Out!

Internet Directories

Do you have a Landcaping business you would like to promote? Do you want to rank higher in Google? Do you want to find new customers for your landscaping business?

Well, Rittenhouse can help you.

We own and operate 2 Internet Directories for landscaping companies and consumers. We are trying to help landscaping companies find new customers and also to help consumers and property owners find a local landscaper. It is 100% free for everybody to use. That means that a Landscaping company can register for free and a consumer is free to use the directory as often as they wish. Rittenhouse is picking up the tab for the hosting and bandwidth of these websites. The benefits to Landscaping companies are two fold. Firstly, its free advertising. Secondly, they received a link from our directory and therefore get to acquire Page Rank which in theory will help them rank hire in the search engines. For further information on Page Rank, just type that term into Google and for a complete explaination.

For US Landscapers:

For Canadian Landscapers:

So click on over to the directories and take 2 minutes and sign up. That is all for now, thanks.

Gardeners Best Garden Supply Store

In partnership with Yahoo, Rittenhouse has opened a Yahoo store with many of our most popular products as a new sales channel. It is great for customers who prefer to buy goods through the secure method of Paypal. We do not offer Paypal on the Rittenhouse as a form of payment.

The store can be found at www.gardenersbest.com. We are slowly adding new products to that website. So check back frequently.

New Products & Paul Newman RIP

Hello All,

We have been very busy adding new products to the main Rittenhouse website. Below is a brief description and a link to the new products if you would like further information.

The Green Gorilla Battery Powered Sprayer:

As a sprayer company that is over 90 years old, we see a lot of innovative sprayers come and go. There is always somebody out there trying to re-invent the "wheel" ... or in this case, re-invent the sprayer. However we have never seen a sprayer such as this one. Instead of a pump this sprayer uses a little battery powered air compressor to fill the tank with compressed air and that is what propels the liquid. So no more pumping!! Basically you just plug in the battery pack the day before you need the Green Gorilla, then when it has a full charge you attach it to the sprayer, turn it on and let the compressor fill the tank with air. Then you are ready to spray. I was amazed at the height that this unit can spray, I was hitting the ceiling of our factory which is at least 20 feet high. So this hand held sprayer would be perfect for fruit trees such as apples, oranges and peaches. The beauty of this sprayer, the chemical does not have to touch the pump ... because there is no pump.

****Special Rittenhouse Product Preview****

Heated Hose

This innovative product is brand new to Rittenhouse, so new that its not even going to be available for sale for about 3 months. But here is your sneak preview. This is an excellent item for those of us living in the northern climes and need to use running water outdoors in the winter time. Which for obvious reasons is very tricky. However this new hose plugs in and has a heating element inside the hose to keep the water flowing. The target market is farming, such as livestock raising, construction and for flooding the backyard hockey rinks. It will be ready to ship in December 2008. It is available for pre-order now. Check out the Rittenhouse website for more details.

Paul Newman RIP

We are saddened by the loss of Paul Newman. He was a great actor and a great man. One of my favorite movies was The Sting and he was fantastic in that movie. Go here for his IMDB entry >> Paul Newman . If you take a look at his list of movies I am sure you will find many of his movies that you enjoyed.

It also must be mentioned the massive amount of work he did for charity. His line of salad dressings are both fantastic and part of the money goes to a worth while cause.

RIP Paul Newman

Rittenhouse Integrates Web 2.0 Technology into its E-Commerce Website

ST. CATHARINES, ON – Rittenhouse has just launched an updated version of its popular E-Commerce website. In the rapidly developing sector of E-Commerce, web savvy customers are demanding more from their shopping experience. It is becoming evermore important to remain on the leading edge of technology. Being on the leading edge is exactly where Rittenhouse is with the new version of their already popular website. The new site boasts Web 2.0 technology that further engages the customer during their shopping experience and increases the ease and efficiency with which they shop. For example, the most prevalent new feature is the Quick View window, which customers can access by clicking on the Quick View icon that appears when they mouse over a thumbnail picture of a product. The Quick View window allows customers to access the most prudent information about the product, price and will allow the customer to place that item in their shopping cart without navigating to an entirely new page. Professionals and other customers who need to make their shopping experience as efficient as possible will especially appreciate this feature.

Another time saving feature is the standardized shipping rate system which can be accessed from the side bar of the website or engaged when a pop-up appears while navigating the site. The customer simply inserts their postal or zip code and as they add items to their cart, they are presented with an accurate UPS Ground shipping rate. This eliminates the guesswork or any uncertainties involving shipping costs.

Rittenhouse has also added a new product category, Industrial Supply, which caters to the construction and other “heavy-duty” industries. The Rittenhouse Industrial Supply category specializes in liquid handling equipment, but also features other important supplies and accessories such as security locks and hydro seeders.

The updated version of www.rittenhouse.ca is sure to increase the speed and efficiency that customers shop with and therefore making their shopping experience more enjoyable. This new technology was developed specifically for Rittenhouse in partnership with New Vintage Software. As E-Commerce evolves and transforms to customer’s increasing demands, Rittenhouse is more than happy to oblige in giving those customers the best possible online experience. Rittenhouse is already looking to the future to further improve their website and is very excited about revolutionizing the industries they serves.
