Every single time we interview professional gardeners, they tell us a hori hori knife is their absolute go-to tool. It digs, it weeds, it cuts, and it measures planting depth. Kathleen loves hers and uses it for practically every task in her yard.
If you read my piece on ergonomic garden upgrades, you know a garden kneeler is a non-negotiable for me. Instead of bruising your knees on hard dirt, you get a thick cushion to rest on, and the sturdy arms give you leverage to push yourself up without straining your back.
Our Community Manager Amy Draiss absolutely swears by her power pruners. Instead of relying on your own grip strength to snap through stubborn branches, the battery-powered mechanism slices through them like butter, dramatically reducing wrist fatigue.
This is the exact combo kit that started my obsession with Greenworks. It comes with a mower, string trimmer, and leaf blower, plus the interchangeable batteries. It is the perfect beginner-friendly setup that allowed me to ditch messy gas cans forever.
I just used a dethatcher/scarifier exactly like this to clear my entire yard of compacted moss in just 30 minutes. A dethatcher effortlessly combs the dead thatch and moss right out of your lawn, saving you hours of back-breaking manual raking.
Our resident houseplant pro, Tyler, considers his spider grow lights to be the most important part of his indoor gardening setup. They might look a bit industrial and heavy-duty, but they get the job done beautifully.
Accessories We Can't Live Without
If you caught my recent article all about the benefits of biochar, you know it is a fantastic, sustainable way to boost your soil's health, improve water retention, and give your plants a major nutrient upgrade.
Senior Editor Liz absolutely loves her Vego raised beds. They are incredibly durable, look beautifully polished in the yard, and won't rot out after a few seasons like traditional wooden DIY beds.
GKH Community Manager Amy is a massive fan of fabric grow bags - aka air pruning pots. They naturally encourage stronger, healthier root systems and faster growth compared to traditional plastic containers.
We're big fans of Birdfy's smart products here at Gardening Know How. Their smart feeders capture incredible, up-close camera footage of your winged guests and send the videos directly to your phone.
My colleague Kathleen came up with this absolute genius hack: instead of dealing with messy, ripped paper seed packets, she uses these clear craft bead organizers to store and categorize her seeds perfectly.
Liz loves using these adjustable cages for her tomatoes. Because they are modular, you can easily adapt and build the trellis higher as your climbing vegetables grow throughout the season!
