| Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter | |
|---|---|
  |
“For the price, this is the best and most practical moisture meter I’ve used. The detached probe makes readings easy for hanging baskets and larger plants.” |
| Toro 29210 43-Gallon Gardening Spring Bucket | |
  |
The Toro 43-gallon spring bucket is great for fallen leaves, grass clippings, weeds, plant material and more. It is made from mildew resistant and UV treated mesh-supported plastic canvas, and it has an extra strong sleeved spring for secure upright standing. The four cushioned handles make lifting and emptying the bucket easier and more comfortable. To open or collapse the Spring Bucket you simply attach or detach two quick connectors.
I ordered this for myself and several Master Gardener friends. We love it so much. When we work in the community it is easy, light, sturdy and convenient to deposit our cuttings in the bucket and transport it to the trash. Other similar products are not sturdy. Branches and thorns poke through on the other product styles but not on the Toro. It is a fantastic find. |
| Accu Sharp 060 GardenSharp Tool Sharpener | |
  |
The gardensharp tool sharpener is designed to sharpen all those single edged, hard to sharpen items in your tool shed, such as lawnmower blades, pruning shears (secateurs), limb loppers, hoes, shovels, scythes. All can be sharpened to a razor edge quickly and easily with gardensharp. The full length finger guard protects fingers while the reversible diamond honed tungsten carbide blade puts your cutting edge in “good as new” condition. gardensharp will not rust and can be cleaned with soap and water or washed in a dishwasher. Florists, landscapers and gardeners of all kinds need the gardensharp tool sharpener.
“This is a cheap, simple tool to use, and gives good results. I’ve used it to sharpen a few clippers, hedge trimmers, and the lawn mower blade on a cordless Black & Decker lawnmower which was pitted and dulled. All tools I used it on seem to perform noticeably better than before.” |
| Kozy Coat Wall-of-Water Gardening Teepees, 3-Pack | |
  |
Kozy Coat protects plants to 12 degrees F enabling you to start your garden 6 to 8 weeks early without fear of freezing. The walls of water in this teepee absorb heat during the day and slowly release warmth to the plant at night. Also protects from frost. Reusable lasting 7 to 10 seasons. Dimensions 18 in W x 16 in L.
“Living in the SF Bay Area I bought these for another reason other than what they are intended for. I have feral cats, raccoons, etc that dig up my seedlings, use the fresh soil as a litter box, etc. Not only do they protect my plants from the critters the tomatoes I have that are covered by them are twice the size of those without, even though planted at the same time. Next year I’m buying more to contain all my plants.” |
| Rumford Gardener GSH3003 Hand Therapy Kit | |
  |
A perfect gift for the gardeners in your life, Rumford Gardener’s Hand Therapy kit includes everything they’ll need to wrap up their day in the garden. The kit contains an all-natural soap with pumice (not a lot of pumice, so it’s very gentle) and a bristle brush with a hardwood handle to remove stubborn soil under fingernails or ground into palms. The real treat, though, is the Gardener’s Hand-Garde Creme, made with beeswax, aloe vera, and vitamin E. Rubbed into hands and then rinsed off, it leaves a layer that provides a barrier between sun and skin, keeping hands moist and easier to clean after a day in the garden.
“This is great stuff! Very gentle with no harsh chemicals, yet with the scrubbers in the soap, it really cleans well after gardening. |
| Gilmour Metal Bubbler | |
  |
“These have actually become hard to find in stores, now. Used to be everywhere! Nothing beats it for watering that requires more than a drip, but you don’t want the dirt disturbed or gouged. So glad to find it at such a good price on Amazon.” |
| Soil Scoop with Ergonomic Comfort Grip | |
  |
This nifty hand tool gives you the extra edge. With serrated teeth on its edges, digging is made easier, no matter how tough or weedy your soil is. The comfortable, ergonomic grip frees your hands from unnecessary cramping and discomfort. Made with stainless steel, your Soil Scoop will be rust resistant and last for years to come. 12 inches long. Available in Red, Yellow and Lavender.
“Found this tool extremely helpful in getting under and digging up bulbs. The serrated edges were wonderful to have when digging up bulbs that were surrounded by roots.” |

“The planter sits snugly on the patio railing. We have had some pretty hefty winds this past month and the planter stays put nicely. I bought 2 and they really looks nice — one on each railing of the patio.” |
| FLOATING POND HIPPO | |
  |
This pond hippo costs much less than most other floating pond ornaments, but looks great.
This Floating Hippo Head will look great in your backyard pond. Life like design and hand painted. Also available in an open mouth design.
This is a great buy, I paid full price but it is worth it. This hippo looks real and slowly sways in the water. You don’t see it right off and it is really cool. Glad we bought it.” |

“We have a couple lychee and longan trees in our yard that the blackbirds used to raid like a swarm of locusts. We tried cd’s, pie plates, sling shots (never hit any), plastic owl, nothing worked. So this year I went online looking for something cheap that might help. I saw this thing and the reviews were good so I bought one. The blackbirds would not even land in the yard for the first week, and after that, the closest they ever got was a couple trees away, where they all just looked at it while complaining loudly.” |
| Plant Sitter Automatic Watering Sensor | |
  |
Busy gardeners love the Plant Sitter sensor system. It delivers water to your plants based on the soil’s dryness. Each ceramic cone measures 4-1/4in H x 1-1/2in dia ceramic cone with 18-1/2in siphon tube.
“My husband and I have been using this product for years – each year we add more indoor plants and buy more of these wonderful waterers. We leave town for up to a month, and as long as we follow the recommendations on the package for larger plants we have had great success. We normally “plug in the survival spikes” about a week in advance to make sure we have correctly set them up. Also, we use 1 gallon water jugs for the water supply. Good luck!” |
