Let me tell y’all about one of my best gardening purchases—three times over, in fact. Over the past two years, I’ve bought three sets of these magical planting rings, and I’m convinced they deserve a spot in the gardening hall of fame right next to compost and shade hats.
These little round wonders are the perfect size for wrapping around my shrubs, young trees, and even some of my more “adventurous” (read: invasive) plants that like to sneak into places they don’t belong.
Water, Don’t Wander
One of the things I love most is how these rings funnel water directly to the roots—not down the sidewalk or into the neighbor’s flower bed. No more watching precious water runoff like it’s fleeing the scene. These rings make watering efficient and drama-free.
The Lawn Mower Protection Plan
Before I discovered these rings, my trees and shrubs lived in fear. My husband and kids? Great people. But apparently, everything under two feet tall is a “weed” to them. 🙄 One moment I’m admiring my baby fig tree, the next—vrrroooom—it’s mulch. But now? These rings create a clean border between grass, rock, mulch, and plant, and suddenly everyone in the family has vision. Hallelujah.
Tougher Than My Patience in July
These things are made in the USA from 100% recycled, UV-resistant polypropylene. Translation? They’re tough. We live where the summer sun gets so hot, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk (I’m not kidding—I’ve thought about trying it). Despite the blazing heat, the occasional frost, and even a dusting of snow, these rings haven’t cracked, warped, or faded. They’ve survived weed whackers, wild kids, and wild weather.
Easy as Pie (and Pie is Pretty Easy)
You don’t need to bend, pound, or stake anything. They open and close easily, which means you can install them around new or existing trees without reenacting a scene from a yoga video. They’ve saved my back, my time, and most importantly—my plants.
I honestly hope Amazon never stops selling them, because every time I plant something new, guess what I’m adding to my cart? Yep, another ring. My garden’s starting to look like a circle-loving fairy godmother stopped by.
I’ve added these beauties to my Amazon storefront, so if you want to save your trees, retain your water, and protect your plants from mower-related tragedies, you can grab them here:
