With the arrival of Spring comes a ton of gardening chores as plants, well, spring back to life. Not all tasks need to be done the old fashioned way though. We’ve hand picked a selection of gardening gadgets that will take much of the effort out of tending to your plants and lawn.
After all, so much of gardening is busywork. Whether it’s mowing your lawn on a regular basis, or checking to see when plants need watering, there are plenty of ways of automating the process. These gadgets bring the fun back into gardening while getting stuff done quickly and efficiently.
