The Expert Gardener Foldable Indoor and Outdoor Repotting Gardening Mat is currently on sale for $4.97.
Made with durable oxford fabric, the mat is fully waterproof and has received a 4.3 star rating from customers.
According to manufacturers, this buy is ideal for a greenhouse seed starting kit.
As well as starting seeds, it can be used for repotting, watering, trimming plants, and creating an indoor garden.
These potting mats can be folded for easy storage and help to ensure a cleaning working area.
Measuring 29.13 inches in both width and length, the Walmart buy has been described as the “perfect gardening tool”.

The raised edges on the mat help to contain any mess, making it easier to clean away.

“Easy to put together, four snaps make the corners,” said another Walmart customer.
“Holds all the ‘oops, missed the pot’ soil. Folds back up nice and flat for storage. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.”

“This mat is really neat for keeping the mess to a minimum while potting plants. The snaps in the corners make a tub like canvas for your table top. Super easy to clean up,” agreed another shopper.
