Works well to supplement standard lawn care

Used as directed, this worked well at greening up the lawn from early summer yellowing.  Bluegrass lawn bounced back in a few days and after a couple of weeks returned to a deep green.  Directions state to keep it off of your driveway and they mean that.  Pellets left to sit on any concrete or stone will leave a distinct rust spot.  This warning also applies to any concrete or stone landscape edging or elements you have installed.

While they're not rugged enough for routine maintenance of a large yard/garden, this is the perfect set to maintain a small yard or garden, or for quick touch-ups on larger property. They charge quickly, and each charge seems to last about 15 minutes for the hedge trimmer/cutter, somewhat less for the pruner, definitely long enough for routine maintenance of a small yard.

I was frankly very surprised that such light tools did such a good job. Again, not suitable for heavy gardening, but great for smaller gardens/touch-ups.

I have a several acres, but I also have a much smaller courtyard, about the size of an average residential city yard, and this kit was just about right. The courtyard includes small trees, large shrubs, herbs, grass, and a few perennials. The hedge clippers worked well shaping the new growth of old evergreen shrubs, and the pruner handled the older growth well, as well as the branches on my young peach tree, and pruning out the nuisance mulberries that keep coming up along the foundation. The trimmer worked well for edging grass along sidewalks and flower beds, cutting back medium weeds at the edges of my vegetable garden, and cutting back flowerheads on herb beds.

The great thing about this set is that the pieces are lightweight, great if you have troubled wrists. They are much less effort/strain than operating their manual counterparts, but they do require a bit more effort than I would like to engage both the operational buttons and safety mechanism. Unlike larger garden power tools, including those with the removable batteries (which typically run a bit longer), these are quite lightweight, so although there's a little strain keeping the safety and triggers engaged, that strain isn't compounded by the weight of the tool itself. So you have a net reduction in hand/wrist/lower arm strain, vs. both manual tools and heavier power tools.

If you're sloppy about maintaining your yard, this set won't be enough for aggressive weed growth (you'll still need a weed eater), but if you keep up with it, this would even let you skip a weed eater/edger on a small yard.

It's a nice compact set for small spaces. I wish it came with a 2nd charger, as it's more of PITA to remember to rotate them to keep them both charged, but that's my only complaint.

We have three outdoor water faucets connected to hoses and nozzles.  I use traditional style sprayers for two of them, but really like having this butterfly nozzle for a side yard that has small gardens, flower beds and a bit of grass that never seems to do well.  I know Im to blameeach year grass seed is re-applied, but lack of watering doesnt help.  The reasons are simpleI hate dealing with hard-to-work-with hoses and reconnecting the garden equipment that goes on them.

Theres not much I can do about kinking hoses, but this Radius sprayer eliminates the need to switch out between sprinkler and sprayer all the time.  Two arms in the handle easily pivot outwards and they lay nicely on any surface.  The sprinklers coverage range doesnt extend as far as some conventional ones, but the 870 sq. ft. radius is adequate for my needs.  It can sprinkle in either a full circle or half of one.  Both patterns are put to use herethe full circle works well in that hard to grow grass area, and the half circle is useful for elongated flower beds.  I was a little leery about arms that project out and possible breakage, but the rotating ball connection points are very sturdy.  Should an accident occur (examplestepping on it) the wings look like theyd fold back inward rather than break off.

I like using this as a sprayer tooits comfortable to hold and the thumb control for water flow operates smoothly and easily.  The spray patterns are the usual ones, but instead of words, pictures convey what pattern is being used when the outer ring is turned.  I especially like how well it connects up with our hosesscrews in easily and theres a mesh screen to keep out unwanted debris from going into the hose.

I don't have a need for this type sprayer at all the outdoor water faucets, but its the perfect solution for lazy gardeners like me who hate messing with hose connections and have specialized yard issues.  Ive included pictures showing the butterfly nozzles size compared to traditional sprayers, its picture display of spray patterns, the nice screen insert and the sturdy ball connectors that operate the two leg extensions.

Received the Gardenite Lawn Aeration Sandals in about 2 days with all parts & spare parts-always nice to have extra parts. Assembly was fairly quick & easy. Suggestion: When inserting spikes & nuts with supplied wrench, insert middle spikes first so wrench does not interfere with outside spikes when tightening nut. Photo on instructions for threading straps on could be clearer. I have a small foot (ladies 5-1/2) so adjusting straps was a bit challenging. I did cut part of each strap but left a bit longer & tucked in so someone else with larger foot could also use. Be sure to burn edge after cutting to seal. Had to wait 2 days after bit of rain (yea!) & evening watering day (allowed 2 days/week until Dec.) Dont know if this lawn had ever been aerated. I sometimes use a cane so I used my rollator for balance & to get rhythm for walking on lawn. This was helpful for me. I made one pass over the lawn and will probably repeat in a couple of weeks. I am sure this aeration process will definitely help to revitalize and nurture a healthier lawn.  The Gardenite Lawn Aeration Sandals were easy to use & I have already recommended this brand to two friends.

I've used this product for the two weeks now, and it works well. It covers a standard drain size well, and most, of not all, large articles are caught.
One thing to note is that it is extremely easier to keep clean compared to mesh products as it has flat edges and the holes don't retain soft material such as noodles, grains, or small produce bits.
The only down side I could see is that if you use ground material, like coffee, and want to use this to "catch" the grounds, it won't. Not a problem for us, but may be for others. If this is applicable, I'm sure you could put a finer mesh underneath to catch finer particulate matter.

This is very handy especially when you don't need the grass catcher.  This really blows the cutting across the lawn and allows me to recut them again to feed the lawn.  A quick wash with the hose to clean it out and you are all set for the next time.

Works great for starting plants or growing cat grass which is what I use them for.

Item worked well for aerating the lawn. These need to be assembled by the buyer but if you have a deep well socket, it makes it easier. Spikes in the bottom worked very good for lawn. Highly recommended.

This serves as a drip irrigation system for my shrubs and is acceptable while we are in severe water conservation restrictions...my weedy lawn won't survive the Texas summer, but my shrubs will make it.  It works great.

I use this for my 1/3 acre lawn. Mix 2 Tablespoon with 3 gallons into a portable pump with long stem sprayer. Great for killing typical weeds in grass. To kill clover, I needed to apply several times during the middle of hot dry days. I have yet to find a better weed killer.

This does a good job on weeds and crabgrass without killing the grass.  Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because you need to use a lot more than recommended to really take care of the business.

I had a problem with sedge sprouting up in a few select places through my Kentucky bluegrass turf, and this took care of it in short order with no disturbance to the surrounding grass.  Very selective, I must say.

One thing to remember - follow the instructions carefully, and dial up the concentration slowly. You don't want to go nuclear on the first pass. Also, make sure to apply when the sedge is tall, and don't mow the lawn for a couple of days afterward. You want to make sure the sedge grass has enough time and surface area to really absorb the chemicals.  A couple of days later, you'll see it start to wither, and you're all set.

I was so overjoyed to find a product that promised an easy fix to those yellow spots on my lawn, that I forgot to read the instructions.  I didn't loosen the soil and rake, as has been suggested, so I just broadcast the seed and mulch directly on the hard-packed soil.  Nothing happened for several weeks, but now, after a good day's rain (so welcome in S CA) followed by sunny days in the 80's, grass is sprouting.  Our sprinklers come on for five minutes six days a week (all that is allowed with our drought), and that seems to be enough moisture to encourage new grass.  It's not near enough to mow yet, but I am thankful that this product tries to succeed despite being provided with less than perfect soil conditions.  My two goldens are thankful as well, as they were sick of being persuaded to pee on the gravel. I plan to lay in a good supply of this as I know I will have more yellow spots appearing.

I replaced the blade on my 22" Yard Machines side-dischage/mulching mower I bought 6 years ago or so.  While I may have been able to resharpen the blade I had, this thing is well priced and really does what it promises--lifting the grass better for a cleaner cut and more cuts.  I'm noticing three things after changing the blade: less clogging of the discharge area, smaller clippings in general, and a healthier lawn.  Very pleased with this purchase!

Our lawn was more dying clover and weeds than grass. We decided to start over with it and bought this kit to give us an idea of what we could do to improve our soil. I had looked into 3 or 4 local soil testing sites but all were expensive and it would take a few weeks to get the results. No time for that so I bought this kit instead. The directions are easy to follow. We did have to wait about 24 hours for our soil/distilled water mixture to settle for all the tests except PH, that one you can test immediately. Distilled water is recommended but not required. Your soil may settle faster than ours. You then you use the kit to test the water that rises above the soil. The results showed that our lawn is severely deficient in Nitrogen. This is a handy, inexpensive product to help you improve the conditions of your lawn or garden for better growing.

I bought this on a whim as I was really looking for a more "known" brand's version of this. It was easy to install. Word of advice with the sand..... Purchase DRY play sand from your local hardware store and let it sit out for a few days to make SURE it's dry. That's important. Once you fill the container with the sand it will be heavy enough to roll the grass and make a huge difference in the striping of your lawn. Another thing that makes a huge difference is the height of your cut and the quality of your grass and type. If you cut your lawn low, this will not be a big benefit. Also, if your lawn is not well watered fertilized and green, this will not make a huge difference. I live in the midwest and have the typical cool season fescue that greens up well when cared for. Kentucky Blue looks great when striped as well. Hope this helps someone looking to make the next step in lawn beauty.
