Fiskars Deluxe Stand-up Weeder
This is an awesome dandelion weeder, saves us back strain and speeds up our weekly garden chores.
Orbit Impulse Sprinklers
Set up a system of impulse sprinklers to cover larger areas. Find sprinklers with male and female hose connections so that you can link multiple units together. If possible, go for the all-metal sprinklers.

Some benefits over a gas powered mower: it’s quiet (mow whenever you want and it won’t bother neighbors), no stink and gas, and wet grass doesn’t stick like it does with a regular mower.

GrubGONE!
Got Japanese Beetle grubs? grubGONE! is certified organic that only affects grubs and does not impact any non-target species, it is also completely safe to humans and pets. Unlike other biological or chemical grub-control products, grubGONE! is an effective control of all life stages of grubs and can therefore be used as a curative treatment for grub control as well as a preventative. We generally recommend two applications.
- Optimal timing is late July or early August when beetle eggs are hatching and grubs start feeding (preventative treatment).
- grubGONE! can also be applied through the fall as a curative treatment as well
- grubGONE! can be effectively applied in the spring. This is especially helpful if animals (moles, skunks, raccoons, birds, etc.) are causing turf damage as they feed on the grubs. A spring grub treatment will not necessarily preclude a second summer/fall treatment, however, as the adult beetles will lay eggs beginning in July and the cycle may begin again.
Be sure to follow directions on the label.
