If you don't mind getting your gloves dirty, pulling weeds, and growing your own produce, you're likely already on the gardening side of TikTok. Here, influencers, advanced gardeners, and beginner plant parents share all their favorite tips, tricks, hacks, and products that have helped their gardens become healthy and productive. These TikTokers are often talking about products that we've never seen before such as seeding templates that make sure your seeds are correctly spaced every time or plant watering spikes that keep your plants' roots perfectly moist during hot summer days. Thankfully, both of these gadgets and more are available at Amazon for reasonable prices.

Don't fret if your FYP hasn't made it to the green side. If gardening isn't your only special interest, it's likely your algorithm is just as chaotic as ours is. Luckily with some careful sleuthing, we were able to put together a small collection of popular TikTok garden products that are shocking us and other viewers with their pure genius.

Among the most back-breaking garden chores is pulling weeds. The season creeps up on us and the next thing we know we are clearing countless weeds from our garden beds, lawns, and other landscaped areas. Yet, TikTok discovered an easier way. A best-seller on Amazon, Grampa's Weeder allows you to pull weeds standing up with a stomp-and-scoop motion that grabs the plant from the root. Reviews of the product indicate that the weeder is a game changer for garden preparation.

Purchase Grampa's Weeder at Amazon for approximately $40.

For gardeners who prefer starting their plants from seeds, a seeding template can be very handy. This square tool helps people of any age find the best spacing for all their plants. You simply set the square onto the soil and use the attached wand to mark where you'll plant your seeds according to the measured holes. The seeding square also comes with a guide for less-seasoned gardeners that shows exactly which vegetable plants coordinate with which colored holes.

Purchase the Seeding Square Seed Sowing Template at Amazon for approximately $30.

Meters to check your soil's pH and moisture level are nothing new, but they are genius. Nearly every TikTok gardener has recommended one of these to their followers who have just begun their planting journey, including @hastingscorner who is known for her 2-acre market garden. She specifically recommends the SONKIR brand meter, which is among the cheapest options on Amazon. It monitors moisture, pH, and light with a simple dial that's easy to read.

Purchase the SONKIR 3-in-1 Soil Moisture/Light/pH Tester at Amazon for approximately $10.

Hastings Corner Farm and Garden also recommends a high-quality gardening apron. A popular option among practiced gardeners is the Roo Gardening Apron available in three different colors and two styles. In the popular TikTok, we're shown two of the Joey silhouettes in purple and blue, however, the full-size Roo appears to be just as popular on Amazon. Reviews of the gardening apron are overwhelmingly positive with several people recommending it for its durable fabric and large pockets.

Purchase the Roo Gardening Apron at Amazon for approximately $40.

When you struggle to water your potted plants, using a watering funnel can be a huge help. Even though these leaf-shaped funnels are typically used on houseplants, they can be handy for watering your larger potted patio plants as well. All you have to do is place the leaf at the edge of your pot and pour water into it until the soil below is saturated.

Purchase the Peleg Leaflow Plant Pot Watering Funnel at Amazon for approximately $15.

This hose reel is easily the most expensive garden product on this list. But, before you judge it on its price tag, know that it really is a genius tool. Many hose reels are bulky, poorly designed, or require drilling holes in the side of your home. This one secures itself in the soil with a large stake, and it's easily retractable. Brandon Koruna shows how he installed and uses his Gardena hose reel with the help of his young son on TikTok.

Purchase the Gardena Auto Retractable Hose Reel at Amazon for approximately $256.

Today we have newer, smarter, and better versions of just about everything. Yet, too many of us are still holding onto our tiny and cheap sprinkler heads that need to be moved about 20 times before they water the whole lawn. We know there is a better way. This TikTok-approved oscillating sprinkler is a gem. Standing on a tripod, the Melnor brand sprinkler can be adjusted to cover up to 4000 square feet, and it rotates 360 degrees.

Purchase the Melnor Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler at Amazon for approximately $47.

We're always on the lookout for new gardening tool inventions, and apparently, TikTok is too. One of their best finds is the CobraHead weeder and cultivator which features a thick ergonomic handle made from recycled plastic and a curved steel head. The design of the blade allows gardeners to pull weeds, break up the soil, and create holes for planting all in one.

Purchase the CobraHead Original Weeder & Cultivator at Amazon for approximately $32.

You truly won't be able to live without a plant-tying machine once you've tried it. It appears to be a cross between a tape gun and a stapler at first glance, but its use is clear in the TikTok posted by @parkerpastures. She recommends it for peppers and tomatoes, but any tall or vining plant can benefit from the plant-tying machine including berry bushes. With one hand, you can easily tie together branches and wire so your plants stay upright all season.

Purchase the FUNTECK Plant Tying Machine at Amazon for approximately $35.

If you weren't sold on the Roo Gardening Apron, a collapsible garden bag might be the thing for you. Instead of wearing a large pocket on your stomach to hold weeds, produce, or cuttings, you can unfold this laundry-hamper-style bag to easily carry the greenery. It holds a whopping 30 gallons, and it's also sold in 5 and 10-gallon sizes. A favorite brand of these on TikTok is Fiskars which is known for selling affordable and high-quality gardening and crafting tools.

Purchase the Fiskars Kangaroo Collapsible Garden Bag at Amazon for approximately $20.

If you live in an area such as the Pacific Northwest, you might not be familiar with olla irrigators that are popular in warmer countries like Mexico. Made from unglazed pottery, the use of the porous invention can be traced back thousands of years. Today they look a little different. As shown by @hodson_family_farms on TikTok, their buried irrigator features a rubber plug that allows them to refill the pottery with water as needed. Then, the water slowly seeps into the soil to keep their plants hydrated.

Purchase the Plant Watering Stakes at Amazon for approximately $19.

A rain wand that can be turned on and off with a touch of a button is a convenient and practical garden tool. It's found traction in the TikTok gardening community because it makes watering your beds that much easier. It lengthens your hose's reach, allows you to saturate your plants' roots only, and the water is controlled with a simple thumb switch that never requires you to hold down a lever.

Purchase the Dramm 14804 One Touch Rain Wand at Amazon for approximately $40.

There are many ways to label your plants. Some like to keep it simple by pushing the labels their plants came with into the soil, but others enjoy coordinating their plants with matching garden tags. If the latter sounds like you, consider the bamboo plant labels shaped like seedlings as recommended by @tinymomentswithtiff. This sustainable option allows you to keep track of each species in your garden, and it also comes with a waterproof marker for outdoor use.

Purchase the Ovege Bamboo Plant Labels at Amazon for approximately $16.

Any gardener will tell you that knee pads are a sound investment. While you can find foam pads and knee guards for a reasonable price at any garden store, we recommend finding something that will last. The Ohuhu Garden Kneeler and Seat offers a soft spot to place your knees, and it also works as a seat and a place to hang your tools. Made with a steel frame, thick EVA foam pads, and durable pockets, TikTok has proven the kneeler will not disappoint.

Purchase the Ohuhu Garden Kneeler and Seat at Amazon for approximately $50.

Usually, self-watering pots are used indoors for finicky plants, but they can be quite useful outdoors too. If you have seedlings growing indoors for summer plantings, wildly growing hydroponic plants, or other plants that you are looking to grow outside, think about purchasing self-watering planters to make their transition easier. After transplanting your plants into the containers, you can fill the bottom with water and harden them off as they are introduced to changing weather conditions, new humidity levels, and less access to water.

Purchase JFMAMJ Self-Watering Pots at Amazon for approximately $14.
