I thought those solar-powered garden lights were a complete waste of money until my neighbor's string of them lit up my whole fence line for 3 nights straight during a blackout.

I was convinced they'd be dim and die fast, but seeing them actually work when the power was out for 48 hours in Eugene changed my mind... what's a backyard upgrade you were totally wrong about at first?

My rain barrel was the same way. I figured it would just sit there full of gross water, but it kept my garden alive during that crazy dry spell last summer. @kimmurphy, maybe your lights just need a better spot to soak up the sun. Mine were useless under the tree but work great on the fence post now.

Guess my cheap solar lights are just lazy then.

Ever tried cleaning the solar panel, @kimmurphy?
