Shipping:

USA:
Most items ship from our warehouse in Milwaukee, WI, but if you are ordering a heavy or oversized item, we often have the manufacturer ship it directly to you to reduce shipping costs and save you money. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on shipment weight and destination. Eartheasy can ship to residential and commercial addresses in all 50 US States, but unfortunately oversized products do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii. If you are in Alaska or Hawaii and have your heart set on an oversized item, give us a call and we’ll try our best to help you with a freight quote. Unfortunately we do not ship to U.S. Territories or U.S. military installations at this time, but we are working on making these options available soon.

Canada:
Please check product pages to see whether your product is eligible for shipping to Canada, as unfortunately there are some products we cannot ship across the border. Canadian orders ship weekly on Thursdays via Purolator International and shipping costs include duties and taxes. Unfortunately, expedited shipping to Canada is not available at this time.

International:
Unfortunately we cannot ship internationally, including Mexico or freight forwarders. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Processing Time & Shipping Charges:
The "Lead Time" on a product specifies the number of business days for your item to be prepared by our warehouse. The Lead Time does not include the date the order is placed. This also applies for all shipping methods, including express methods. If your item is shipping freight, you will receive a call to schedule the delivery with your driver. If your shopping cart has multiple items, a shipping charge may apply even if some items are listed as "Free Shipping", as charges apply to items rather than total cart quantities.

Overview

Most gardeners contend with a variety of light conditions on their property. Sunlight intensity is affected by environmental factors such as the season, path of the sun, shadows from nearby structures, and shade from surrounding trees. A spot that was once "full sun" might become "partial shade" as a garden fills out over time. These factors can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight available to a plant.

By using the Sunlight Calculator gardeners can easily measure the amount of accumulated sunlight falling on a specific garden location. It allows you to match a plant's nursery tag light requirements (full sun, partial sun, partial shade, or shade) with the actual sunlight conditions as measured by the light meter. This will help you position plants in light conditions where they will grow best and indicate why certain plants are not thriving. Measuring areas of sun and shade will also help you establish zones of differing watering needs in your garden.

How It Works

Designed to measure light conditions during the growing season. Select a day when you expect a full day of sunlight with few clouds. In the morning place the meter as close as possible to your specific planting location. It will measure the amount of accumulated photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) light over a period of 12 hours. After completing its readings, an indicator will appear next to the light level measured in that location. Sunlight Calculator's results match common planting guidelines: Full Sun, Partial Sun, Partial Shade or Full Shade.

The Sunlight Calculator is durable, water resistant and it can be used many times before replacing the batteries. Runs on 3 button cell batteries, which are included.
