Bring The Magic Of Fireflies To Your Backyard With These Solar Swaying Garden Lights

Bring The Magic Of Fireflies To Your Backyard With These Solar Swaying Garden Lights

Review: "They say it takes 8 hours to charge in the sun but mine only took an hour. They sway in the wind and look very pretty. When I turn on the porch light, they go off instantly and come back on when I turn the light off. They give off a soft light and it's just enough that when I let my dog out in the dark, I don't need the porch light. I love these, they are high quality." - violet

    Give Your Climbing Plants The Support They Need To Reach New Heights With A Tall Metal Trellis

    Review: "This trellis worked great when I stuck them into half-barrel size pots. I did not need to stick them into the ground and it made inside the trellis almost 2 foot higher. I am 5’8” and can easily walk under it this way. It is sturdier than I originally thought when setting it up." - Crystal

    Miracle Growth Paste: The Plant Whisperer That Coaxes New Growth And Abundant Blooms

     Miracle Growth Paste: The Plant Whisperer That Coaxes New Growth And Abundant Blooms

    Review: "Dabbed the goop on the nodes, waited 6 weeks and BAM! Leaves started showing up. A new sprout appeared on about 90% of the nodes the paste was put on, which is wild because it was over 40 nodes. I was a bad plant owner and left the pothos in too small of a pot for too long of time, causing it to lose a load of leaves. But now I’m a good plant owner because it’s coming back to life." - Jamie

     Geometric Window Hummingbird Feeder: A Modern Masterpiece That Attracts Feathered Jewels

    Review: "This hummingbird feeder is made with large powerful suction cups so I have no concerns that the feeder will fall. The nectar is close to the feeding holes so the birds have no trouble feeding. I also like that it's very easy to see that the birds have been feeding, even when you don't catch them in the act because the nectar levels are clearly visible. It's very easy to empty, clean and refill. I tried two other feeders from other manufacturers, and found problems with both, but this one is a keeper!" - Amazon Customer

    Review: "I bought a set of these on prime day in 2017, they have weathered 5 years in Denver, Colorado - baking all summer long in the endless 100-degree sun and freezing all winter and they still work perfect! Reliable motion detection, nice and bright, and they charge fine even on short, overcast winter days. I just bought another set because they were too cheap not to, I highly recommend ZOOKKI motion solar lights." - Amazon Customer

    Illuminate Your Walkways And Create A Welcoming Ambiance With These Energy-Efficient Solar Pathway Lights

    Review: "Really love these lights and get a lot of compliments on them. I can have white lights out front and color changing in the back. The pattern they make on the ground is beautiful and bright. The length of time they stay on at night depends on how much sun they get of course. Bought another set and now I can replace one when needed, white or color-changing. They last about 2-3 years. Another great feature is the poles have several pieces to them so you have options for one of three different heights. Just be aware that you can’t set them to a single color. They are so versatile. I love them!" - Anna S

    Hori Hori Garden Knife: The Japanese Gardening Secret That's Taking The World By Storm

     Hori Hori Garden Knife: The Japanese Gardening Secret That's Taking The World By Storm

    Review: "I keep thinking I should give this 4 stars and wait to see if it merits 5. But it’s so nice! It is exactly what I hoped I was getting (assuming it continues to perform well!) Handle looks like birch and fits well in my hand. Love that it is full tang. Rivets seem sturdy. The blades make the ‘trowel’ end look somewhat delicate, but it is an illusion. Cuts well through soil, grass and small branches. Blade interacts with magnets. Will see how it holds an edge. Hoping it will stand up to many years of service!" - Anna F

A socket set and wrench are necessary as well as an air pump to get the tires ready. Parts are clearly marked and correspond to the directions. Will use it to move dirt and for other yard work.

    I'm from NZ. You can buy these carts from Bunnings. We have one and they're fantastic. You can push, pull or tow. When towing you'd use your ride-on mower or 4x wheeler motorbike. Well worth the aprox $300 NZ.

    Outside Pet Enclosure Offers The Perfect Balance Of Freedom And Security, Allowing Your Pet To Explore And Play While Staying Safe From Predators And Traffic

     Outside Pet Enclosure Offers The Perfect Balance Of Freedom And Security, Allowing Your Pet To Explore And Play While Staying Safe From Predators And Traffic

    Review: "I always felt so bad that my cat was stuck inside while I was out in the yard, so I wanted him to be able to safely sit out with me. It took a few tries for him to not panic when he got in, but by the third outing he LOVED it. All I have to do is shake it around so the zippers make noise and ask, “you wanna go outside?” and he comes RUNNING and gets in by himself. He even loves to sit in it inside the house around our dogs; it gives him an opportunity to spend time with us without being bothered by them (even with the door of the tent open, he feels safe - without the tent, he’d hide upstairs alone). I love that he can be more social with us inside and outside now and try to give him “tent” time every day. It’s stimulating and fun for him to get to go out." - Allison

    Turn Your Kitchen Scraps Into Garden Gold With The Cutest Composter In The World

     Turn Your Kitchen Scraps Into Garden Gold With The Cutest Composter In The World

    Review: "No assembly! Wonderful product! So easy to use...just spin every few days! I have tried various composting methods and love this one. I bought 2, one for “present addition” use and the other for the “aged” compost almost ready for use in the garden. The base of the composter has rollers built in so that all one has to do is turn the barrel-shaped composter several times every few days. The door opens easily for adding compost materials and completely removable if needed in order to shovel out “ready” compost....or whole barrel can be rolled over to where needed in the garden and poured out! A great design and I’m ver much enjoying my 2 new composters!" - Deb

     25 Feet Of Outdoor String Lights With Plastic Edison Bulbs: Illuminate Your Backyard Oasis With Vintage-Style Elegance

    Review: "I was worried I’d break some of the bulbs since they are glass, but the seller did good with putting the bulbs separately. It was extra work, but it’s better than breaking them as you’re trying to figure out how to hang them. Also the color they give off is beautiful. I hate white light. This is a pretty yellow super cozy light that makes your space feel super cozy. Can’t wait for summer nights out bbq with family! We’ll see how it goes once rain comes around. I’ll update once again in the winter." - Janet correa

    Give Your Knees And Back A Break With The Heavy Duty Foldable Gardener Stool And Kneeling Pad, The Perfect Companion For Any Gardening Enthusiast

    Review: "I love this garden seat/kneeler. I am a big person so I got the larger size and can sit or kneel with plenty of room. It is so much easier to get up and down with help. It is made well and sturdy but lightweight. When in the sitting position, I can't quite reach the floor (or weeds if I were in the garden) in the photo but if I were actually in the garden I would likely lean forward more and reach between my feet. I didn't think that would look very good for a photo. Lol
    Update!! When getting up from the kneeling position, be sure to grasp hand rails in the center. I was holding on close to the "front" and almost tipped myself forward onto my head. Gotta be smarter than the item. Lol" - B. Becker

    bug zappers usually and mostly kill helpful and beneficial bugs but fail to kill pesty bugs like mosquitoes and flies which are not attracted to light. flies especially biting ones are attracted to carbon dioxide so your breath you're going to get bitten anyway. stop the human caused extinction of insects that are helpful and beneficial by doing one small part yourself Don't buy this

    Ditch The Dull Blades And Upgrade To Fiskars Pruning Shears For Effortless Trimming And Shaping

    Review: "These are so much better in real life! The pictures in the listing looked flimsy, but they’re actually quite large and sturdy. I really like the open/close lock, and the fact that they don’t have that spring connecting the two handles that always falls off! I don’t know how the spring mechanism works on these, but it works like a dream. Also, it cuts quite well. Even sturdier, larger branches than the product claim, I tried a few branches on my lemon tree, and it cuts really well." - Ingrid

The hammock itself is very thick, very sturdy, and the stand is very sturdy as well. I think the box it all came in might have been the heaviest part! And for the somewhat small amount of money I spent compared to some others I've seen listed or even at Walmart, ABSOLUTELY worth every penny.
