    If Your Garden Has Seen Better Days, You Need These 26 Things From Amazon

    Weeding tools, comfy gloves, and more helpful products that'll take your gardening experience to the next level.

    1. A stainless-steel spade if you're sick of trying to dig through dirt with a flimsy hand shovel. This heavy-duty tool will actually make gardening easier instead of harder.

    2. An adorable copper watering can because it'll help you keep your plants healthy and thriving *and* add a whole lot of charm to your outdoor space. Reviewers love how stylish it is and the fact that the spout actually screws on and off!

    3. A dual-edged garden knife (one side serrated, one side flat) so you can slice through those tough roots and gnarly brambles now that you've finally committed to tackling the weeds overtaking your yard. The blade's super duper sharp (so be careful!) but luckily, it comes with a handy leather sheath for safe storage.

    4. A genius garden kneeler seat that's here to prevent back, knee, and other post-yardwork body aches. You can use it as a cushy seat or fold it down to use as a knee pad. Plus! The rails feature storage pouches for keeping all your tools easily accessible. Folks of all ages swear by this thing.

    5. A pack of rubber-coated gardening gloves because they're pretty essential for just about all garden work, so it's definitely a good idea to have a few pairs! Don't worry, these ones check all the boxes: grippy, breathable, durable yet also flexible, cute and colorful, AND inexpensive!

    6. A heavy-duty metal wagon to transport bags of soil, stones, bricks, large pots, and all your other supplies with ease and efficiency. Time to tackle that big yard reno project!

    7. A 3-in-1 soil testing probe that measures soil moisture level, pH value, and sunlight level, all of which tell you a lot about the health of your garden. Depending on the results, you can adjust your maintenance appropriately. Is the soil too dry? Water more. Too wet? Water less. And so on.

    8. An aluminum weed-pulling tool since it's specifically designed to do one thing and to do it expertly: yank out those weeds from the root with almost no effort required on your part... Although, I suppose you could also use it as a trowel, too.

    9. A lightweight but strong metal rake if tasks on your outdoor yard work list include clearing leaves and debris, leveling soil, spreading mulch, and the like. Even if it doesn't get much use during the summer, I guarantee you'll need this come fall.

    10. A 2-gallon plastic watering can with a (removable) extra-long spout and sprinkler head that can slip past all the leaves and vines to water the plant's roots (which, in case you didn't know, is where you need to water your plants).

    11. A multifunction yard cart because it does the job of wheelbarrow, dolly, cylinder carrier, transport tote, and can even be used as a stationary planter at the end of its life. Can your current wheelbarrow say the same? I think not.

    12. A flat steel shovel so tough and powerful you might start calling it King Thanos. Seriously, reviewers say it's a beast compared to other spades and shovels and can handle even the most difficult cutting and digging jobs.

    13. An ultralight pitchfork designed for digging through dirt, breaking up clumps of soil, and pulling up large patches of weeds. It's only 4.5 lbs, so you won't feel exhausted just from lifting it up again and again!

    14. A forked hand weeder tool to pull the weeds out from those practically impossible to get at crevices, like the cracks in sidewalks, brick, or stone pathways.

    15. A tools storage rack so you can organize all your outdoor supplies neatly instead of just throwing them in some corner of the garage or shed...and then inevitably end up wasting a good 10 minutes trying to find the rake or shovel you actually need.

    16. A cordless electric hedge trimmer if you've got some bushes that are, well, simply put, a little out of control. Put away those clunky hand shears and use this to quickly (and artistically!) prune your garden instead!

    17. A pair of sharp pruning shears for snipping and cutting branches, roots, and stems. Friendly PSA for novice gardeners: don't try to use regular scissors for cutting plants! It won't end well, trust me!

    18. A Cate's Garden hand weeder since it will make the most dreaded gardening task (pulling weeds) way more enjoyable, and dare I say it, even fun. The wooden handle rests comfortably in the palm while the stainless steel forked base "pops" out weeds straight from the root. How wonderful!

    19. An electric leaf blower so powerful the trees might just think twice before dropping their leaves on your lawn again! All jokes aside, the motor on this two-speed blower can reach up to 110 mph! 🤯

    20. A 10-piece gardening tool set with just about everything you need to transform your outdoor space into a green oasis: trowel, transplanter, hand rake, weeder, two pruning shears, folding saw, weeding knife, and garden gloves, all in a handy little storage tote bag!

    21. Or, this seven-piece garden tool kit if you want the added convenience of having a little folding seat alongside your gear! The storage tote can be attached directly to the stool or used separately.

    22. A cordless handheld trimmer that comes with two blades: a smaller one for cutting grass and a bigger one for trimming hedges. Plus! It comes with a rechargeable battery, too.

    23. An Oxford cloth work apron because it solves two problems at once by allowing you to store your gardening tools in its many pockets while also keeping your clothes from getting covered in dirt.

    24. A 5-in-1 garden tool featuring a slim, two-pronged trowel blade design that works great for digging, weeding, planting, slicing, and more! It's one of those versatile gadgets that quickly becomes a favorite.

    25. A kink-resistant metal garden hose so you can water the lawn, flower beds, potted plants, and more directly from the main spigot. In other words, you'll no longer have to make a bajillion trips to fill up the watering can.

    26. And, Grampa's Weeder, the original stand-up weeding tool so you need never bow down (literally) to the almighty weeds again. Assert your dominance — this is YOUR yard now, not theirs!
