Promising review: "Everything is growing!! I am a "whatever grows will grow" gardener. We have sun year round and fertile soil. I hate researching how to grow things. Anyway, within four days after planting, I got at least 75%–90% germination on ALL of the seed packets that I used. That is Amazing! And there was a cute little bonus gardening set that was thrown in. I will definitely be ordering more types of seeds from them!!" —Kmm808

Promising review: "There is a little trick to it (not much) and once you get the hang of it, wow! It’s like riding a bike- you won’t forget. I am really pleased with the results. I get big pieces of tap roots and the hole left behind, is about as big around as a ping pong ball. Saves a LOT of time weeding these tall ugly weeds." —L. Meadows

Promising review: "These sticky traps worked like a charm for my fungus gnat problem. I had no idea how bad the infestation was until I placed them around my indoor plant pots. They started catching gnats on day one. Highly effective, easy to use, and an incredible value!" —Vijay M

Promising review: "This stuff worked for me. My potted petunias were almost completely dead to the roots. I got this product on Friday and mixed some in an empty milk jug and watered my plants. I watered again Saturday night before going out of town. I returned home today and was totally amazed to see that less than a week later, my plants have revived and have blooms!!!! Equally as surprised regarding the new blooms because they had not been watered for several days." —Taraffic

Promising review: "Not only do the blue granules look cool, but it works exceptionally well and lives up to its name. Comes with a measuring scooper, easy to use. The plants will thank you for using it with beautiful, healthy-looking leaves and branches. Highly recommend." —Alan

Promising reviews: "Works as expected! Had lots of luck with this product this year. I was able to save a lot of money by using this to propagate new plants from existing plants all summer long. I will be purchasing this again next spring!" —Kimberly E

"Roots are starting to grow cuttings from my monstera, snake plant, and others all in just over a week after first use!! 🤯 I haven’t changed the water or anything. I noticed the water was getting murky and needed a change, not expecting root growth yet. EVERYTHING had growth! This product is AWESOME!" —Sheryl Haugen

Promising reviews: "Whenever you're dealing with plants that absolutely need a high acidic level, such as mountain laurels, and you need that soil to be quickly fixed, Earth Science delivers. Nobody wants to buy a plant for $50+ and then watch it die for something as easy to fix as the pH level. When dealing with citrus, hydrangeas, rhododendron, azaleas, and mountain laurel, I always have fast-acting sulfur and lime to adjust quickly. Highly recommended." —Beegirl950

"I moved to a house with a struggling hydrangea and was new to gardening. I got it to look nicer, but it didn’t flower for two years. I put this on them in the third year, and they did great. I was able to provide florals for an event and still have a very bushy hydrangea full of beautiful blue flowers." —Shannon

Promising review: "Had an animal or pest eating the leaves of my new plants. Put this over it and tightened the bottom drawstring, and it’s working perfectly. I water the plants, and it gets through the netting." —Katrina

Promising review: "My jasmine bushes are big enough that they’re wanting to climb, so I got some of these to line my pathway. Looks like next spring it’ll be a full arch of lovely jasmine! I took the photo right after setting them up, now the plants are already halfway up and very happy!

These were fairly easy to put together. They’re not terribly sturdy and wobble a bit, but as soon as the vines grabbed hold the plants held them in place just fine." —Rae Henderson

Promising review: "This tool is fabulous. I have a lot of weeds and such that grow in between my pavers, sidewalk, etc. Trying to pull them is an absolute failure and my husband frowns on my borrowing his screwdrivers trying to get to the roots. This tool takes care of those rascals in short order. Husband is happy, I’m happy, weeds gone." —gogreen in nashville

Promising review: "This is a very high-quality garden fence that I bought for containing really tall lilies, and it works great. I’m very happy about my choice to buy this particular fencing, and I shopped for way too long before deciding. The product is very sturdy and made of solid material, super easy to install, and it’s very solid. My dog can’t get in the flower bed anymore, and it conforms to the irregular shape of the garden bed. The installation took less than ten minutes! Buy this one with confidence." —pdat

Promising review: "Scott Weed & Feed worked very well on my lawn. It helped kill the weeds while also feeding the grass, and I noticed my lawn starting to look greener and healthier after using it. It was easy to apply and covered the yard nicely. I like that it handles two jobs at once, controlling weeds and strengthening the grass. With regular watering and proper application, it really helped improve the overall appearance of my lawn. I would recommend Scott Weed & Feed to anyone looking to get rid of weeds and bring their grass back to life." —Beverly

Promising review: "I inherited some already leaning tomato plants, and these work very well on getting them back to standing. They were easy to use and put next to the plants. They are not very thick, so they blend in with the plants, so when you look out, you don't see something big and bulky." —Jennifer Hernandez

Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in six sizes and packs of 20 and 25).

Promising review: "This has been a game changer for planting in my garden. My flower bed soil is clay, and digging has been much easier after using the auger drill bit. I've found if I keep the tool surface level, I don't have to reverse it out. If you buy, make sure you have additional batteries for your drill available and charged because they can drain quickly." —Danyell

Promising review: "I combined this liquid fertilizer with water as per the instructions, and my hydrangeas immediately looked healthier!!" —Gabrielle Isaacs

Promising review: "My garden inevitably is subjected to powdery mildew every year! This is the only product that helps keep it at bay; it works especially well if you treat plants you’re aware will attract powdery mildew prior to its arrival." —Stacey M

Promising review: "This is a great product for my soap floss tree. I'm looking forward to blooms in October. The last two years, it has not. I was able to dilute it and distribute 6 gallons of fertilizer throughout the drip line, and the tree that immediately came back was stronger. Greener leaves, there's no odor, and I love how it's organic. The value for the money is incredible. I'll be able to use this year after year." —Tony Tona

Promising review: "I had a really severe Japanese beetle infestation on my morning glories and daisies. They were devouring my leaves and breeding like crazy. I sprayed this generously and then again two days later and they have completely gone away!!! Works amazing!" —Amazon Customer

It comes with ground stakes to keep it in place, too!

Promising review: "I bought this weed barrier for my vegetable garden, and it has worked really well. It was easy to lay down, feels durable, and has helped keep weeds under control while still allowing water to reach my plants. It has made maintaining my garden much easier. I’m very happy with this purchase." —Rudi

Promising review: "Amazing results compared to standard spade shovel for digging in tough soil and going through roots." —Laura87

"Our soil is like cement. You can’t even tell from the picture how bad it is. I was worried this shovel would be too heavy for me to use, cause when you lift it it feels heavy. BUT when I went to use it ..amazing! Cuts into the worst soil and then the heft and the circle handle allows for leverage to move the dirt. It scoops, but a regular shovel on hand helped with that. Worth the price." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was harvesting peppers from my home garden when suddenly white spots started appearing all over the leaves, and they began to fall off. This stopped the growth of my pepper plants, so I started researching and found this product.

I have to say it literally saved my pepper plants. Just follow the instructions for use, and you’ll start seeing how this pest problem is eliminated and how your small harvest can recover. I’m very happy with the results!" —Axsly chamorro

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "The CKLT 2-in-1 Garden Hoe and Weed Puller Rake is a great addition to my gardening tools. It’s sturdy, comfortable to use, and makes pulling weeds much faster with less effort. The 2-in-1 design is very practical because I can loosen the soil and remove weeds without switching tools. It feels well-made and has held up nicely after several uses. If you enjoy gardening or need an easier way to keep your flower beds and garden clean, I highly recommend this tool." —ana silva

Promising review: "I've been gardening for years, and this is hands down the best rose fertilizer I've used. The difference was noticeable within weeks. My roses are covered in blooms, the colors are vibrant, and the foliage is healthy and deep green.

The attached photos speak for themselves. I have several rose beds, and this fertilizer has helped produce continuous flowering and strong, vigorous growth. Even during the heat, my roses have remained healthy and beautiful.I will absolutely be purchasing this again. If you're looking for a fertilizer that truly delivers results, I highly recommend giving this one a try." —Lily's Place
