Home Depot has some flaws, but I
never want to go back to the neighborhood hardware store (twice as expensive, limited selection) and lumber yard (who won't look at you unless you're buying enough lumber to build a house).
I love getting little shrubs for $3.33 -12.00 instead of $35 a whack at nurseries. I couldn't have landscaped my yard without HD. I also love the one-stop shopping.
I like it too. I may have to continue my addiction to gardening at Lowes.
