FAAY Macrame Plant Hanger

I recently purchased a few macrame plant hangers to hang our outdoor plants inside for the winter. I recently tried the FAAY Macrame Plant Hanger and I have to say it was really easy to use, I just put my plant inside the ropes and hung it up.

This hanger is made of cotton rope so I'm not sure how well it will hold up outside in the long term but I plan on keeping it inside and using it that way. The one thing I didn't like was that the ends just see cut and not finished at the bottom but I won't let that stop me from using it. I love the retro style of this plant hanger.


The FAAY Macrame Plant Hanger is available on Amazon.

Review: Bypass Garden Pruners By Garden force

I have a huge raised bed garden and always seem to misplace my pruners when it's time to trim my herbs. This year my herbs are growing like crazy so it's important to keep them trim so they continue to grow all summer long.

I had the opportunity try these pruners by Garden Force that are exactly like a pair I have so I'm very familiar with the way the work. On the second photo you'll see the pair I have on the left with the Garden Force pruners on the right. They are nearly identical and work the same way.

I do like that the Garden Force pruners come with an extra spring and blade in the event they need to be replaced. With how often I use my pruners I would expect to do so frequently.

Overall, I like these pruners, they do exactly what I thought!

Rubikliss Garden Genie Gloves


I'll admit when I first put these gardening gloves on I felt a little like Wolverine from the X-Men. Once I got past that part which took all of two seconds, I got to work using these gloves in my garden.

Normally I spend a little bit of each day weeding.  These are great for helping get those pesky weeds. For this reason I'm glad the hard plastic fingers are only on the right hand because you need your left hand (not shown here) to actually pick up the weeds. It was really hard to pick them up using the hard plastic fingers from the right hand glove. I can see these being very useful for planting because often times I use my gardening glove to just dig holes for small plants.

I have small hands so these were large on me although they say "one size fits most."

While I felt ridiculous wearing these, they worked. I was pleasantly surprised.

SunGrow Air Plant Fertilizer for Bromeliads

I have to admit, when I purchased this plant fertilizer to try, I thought it was for plants that grow in soil. When it arrived boy was I wrong!

This fertilizer is made specifically for air plants -- and works just like you'd expect fertilizer to work. You add it to your plants soil but because this is for air plants you spray directly on the plant each week.

Simply take the small fertilizer bag and pour it in the spray bottle, add water and mix well. I shook it to mix it all together. This spray will last a long time. It takes absolutely no take to fertilize your plant to keep it healthy with fertilizer like this. A lot of power in small little bottle.

The SunGrow fertilizer is available on Amazon.

Review: Green Iron Outdoor Garden Planter Hooks


If you haven't figured it out by now, we are renovating our home and doing a lot of work both inside and out. Our yard and garden is still undergoing a lot of work but this planter hook is exactly what we use to hang plants on our fence posts outside in the warmer weather.

This outdoor garden planter hook is made of powder coated iron and comes with 2 screws to hang. You can hang whatever you'd like on it -- plants, bird feeders, chimes, lanterns, flags and so much more.

It's great for hanging plants from our fence posts in the garden. Right now we are using it to hang Christmas lights! It's working exactly how I planned. This is a great hook.

Review: Water Globes

I constantly forget to water my plants and these water globes are a great solution. They are super easy to use, they remind me as the product that was As Seen on TV a while back. All you need to is fill the globe with water, stick in the dirt in your plant and it waters plants as needed. It had been so hot and dry over the summer, I used these immediately in my spider plants -- they needed every little bit of help I could give them to keep the watered during the hot and dry weather.

The bulbs add a little bit of sparkle and flair to your plants and also blend in so much you don’t even know they are there. I love these – not only are they are functional but they work great!
