Gardening can take its toll on your knees, but this soft foam pad makes lying on the ground a little more comfortable. With over 16,000 five-star ratings, Amazon customers endorse the Gorilla Grip Kneeling Pad.

“Great gardening aid,” shared a delighted customer. “I enjoy gardening and have a knee that hurts when I kneel. It’s very comfortable, easy to use and provides a good place to put small items that you use. I have two of these. I prefer them to knee pads.”

A green-eyed Amazon shopper raves about these colorful gloves. The flexible latex foam coating keeps your hands cool and dry – especially useful when it’s so damn hot. Just throw them in the washing machine between uses.

“I’ve bought them twice already!” shared one of over 15,000 five-star reviewers. “I’m a gardener and these gloves are amazing. They’re dirt and water resistant, the only reason I bought them twice is because I use them so often I have to have spares!”

Thirsty yard? There’s a reason this sprinkler has over 27,000 five-star reviews—it’s a powerhouse. It has an adjustable radius and comes with 20 clog-resistant rubber nozzles. It even has a built-in cleaning tool.

“Aqua Joe is the man!” – one of the buyers was delighted. “My boy Aqua Joe rightfully deserves his recognition! With this sprinkler, what was once an annoying and tedious task has become a thing of the past! Forget everything you think about oscillating sprinklers because this device has reinvented them. Without a doubt, I recommend buying you!”

Planting shrubs? This popular tiller makes quick work of weeding, using six blades to expertly cultivate soil you’d otherwise spend hours digging. It’s electric, so you don’t have to deal with smoke, spark plugs, and more, and it’s small and lightweight for easy storage.

“I have been gardening for many years and I am now 81 years old,” the buyer reports. “I can no longer handle the big tillers and I thought I would try this electric tiller. … I have quite a large garden. I tilled everything in the spring with this tiller. The electric wires take a little longer to work with, but once you learn how to handle them, it is worth it because you don’t have to mess around with the gas and try to turn it up.

These garden shears have a soft, non-slip handle and, thanks to their low-friction coating, they glide easily through wood – experienced gardeners say they cut like “a hot knife through butter.” This makes them easy to use, even if you can’t garden like you used to.

“Arthritis has no power over me anymore,” shared a satisfied customer. “I couldn’t use larger cutting tools because I have bad arthritis, but with the Fiskars it’s cutting, cutting, cutting, and most often with larger diameter plants… I ordered another one today… Yes, it’s that good.”

Available in 11 colors, these clogs have won over 22,000 5-star reviews. Whether you’ve hiked through mud, spilled coffee, or decided to wear them while gardening, they’re easy to clean. Just add water (turn on the hose).

“Perfect garden shoes and summer slippers,” one shopper shared. “I use them to slip on while walking the dogs, gardening and walking around the neighborhood. Perfect for cleaning when they get muddy or I accidentally step in dog poop. They are very comfortable (with some arch support) and cute! Many colors to choose from. Great for warm weather as my feet would get hot. “No smell.”

Got a big yard with a few brown spots? These lawn pumps can deliver water and liquid fertilizer to places sprinklers can’t reach—and more than 57,000 Amazon customers say they deliver.

“They hold a ton of water or liquid fertilizer that I need in the greenhouse,” said the happy gardener. I filled one with water and the other with diluted liquid fertilizer for my greenhouse starter plants. The sprayer works great. They are easy to lock and lift. I also like that they are not too heavy for me. The larger 2-gallon ones are great if I am watering with water. I can keep these high or low. And the sprayer works just as well for watering plants on the top shelves (which is another thing my other ones suck at!)”

Sometimes one watering is not enough to keep the grass green. This manifold allows you to connect two hoses at once and has large shut-off valves that are easy to maneuver. Over 22,000 buyers say it is an essential lawn care item.

“I live in an apartment in Florida,” a five-star fan shared. “I have a small yard with planting areas on all four sides. My faucet is in the corner. I had a heavy-duty hose that was quite a pain to move around to water more remote areas. This risked damaging bedding plants and small shrubs. I use this to split the faucet. I purchased a 75 foot hose to reach the more distant part and a 25 foot hose to reach the closer part. This manifold is a handy tool, good job controlling it without leaks or drips.”

We can all agree that parties are much more fun when they are bug-free. This insect catcher lures uninvited flying pests with UV light and destroys them on contact. And since this is about controlling pests, not visitors, this gadget is housed in a plastic grid to prevent accidental impacts. Amazon buyers are delighted with its effectiveness.

“The best mosquito repellent around,” commented a satisfied buyer. “I live in Florida and have not found any product that repels mosquitoes. Since I bought this machine I have not had any problem. I hang out on the back patio day and night and there are no mosquitoes!”

Amazon’s best-selling hammock. Available in two sizes – for one (108 x 54 inches) or two people (120 x 78 inches) – and 14 colors. Made of durable parachute nylon, it’s lightweight (weighs just 24 ounces) and folds down to the size of an eggplant.

One customer said: “I bought three of these hammocks, one for myself, my partner and my nephew. These are the best hammocks I have ever used. I have used them at all times of the year, camping, in the park, they are very durable and high quality. I couldn’t recommend it more. It can also accommodate two people. It can also be wrapped around itself to cover the top.
