ZDNET Author Picks 5 Discounted Gardening Gadgets as Amazon Prime Day Runs June 23-26

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 23

Summary

  • Five discounted gadgets top the author's Prime Day gardening list: a clip-on grow light, soil moisture meter, stand-up weed puller, AeroGarden hydroponic unit and a smart sprinkler.
  • Past plant failures drive the picks, with the devices aimed at fixing low indoor light, over- or under-watering, weed removal, indoor herb growing and weather-driven watering swings.
  • The grow light offers 3-, 6- or 12-hour timers, while the hydroponic garden can grow up to six herbs or vegetables under adjustable LED lighting.
  • The smart sprinkler adds five scheduling modes and can delay watering for 1-30 days based on local weather, soil moisture and temperature data.
  • Amazon moved Prime Day earlier this year, with the 2026 sale running June 23-26 instead of its usual July timing.
