Here are some of the best garden tools for your home:<\/p>\n

If your home is as full of equipment as plants, the Flyten Lyfe seeder is the perfect product to bring your two avocations together.<\/p>\n

The minimalist 12-sided vase floats spectacularly and rotates above the cut oak base.<\/p>\n

Not only does it convince your visitors that you are some kind of wizard, but it also provides your greenery with a steady exposure to light.<\/p>\n

Perhaps our favorite tool in this summary, Click & Grow\u2019s Smart 9 is an innovative self-growing garden that allows you to grow your own food indoors year-round thanks to integrated (albeit blinding) pro-lights and innovative self-irrigation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to install, looks like something from a sci-fi movie, and offers a huge number of planting options. Our basil, lettuce and tomatoes are doing well.<\/p>\n

And now for the most creepy. Perhaps not one for arachnophobes, Hexa is a six-legged field robot that doubles as a plant pot.<\/p>\n

Sit in the bush at the top of a freak-looking gadget like a kind of leaf hat and Hexa automatically switches to sunshine when needed and retreats into the shade when it\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n

It also notifies you when it has run out of water by hitting your feet. Certainly not one of the scary ones.<\/p>\n
