What is your favorite/most useful garden tool ?

Favourite has to be my hand fork. It just feels right. We have 3 or 4 but I always pick the same one

 

I've at least two of the most used tools, trowels, hand forks, secateurs, pairs of garden gloves, so I can carry on gardening with the second until I find the first.

 

Selleri, the mind boggles...you weeding on your skateboard. Hi speed gardnin :rasp:

 

Nettles may grow fast, but I weed faster!

 

My fave is my adjustable lawn rake.
I'd never garden without it.

 

Remind me never to let you borrow my tools Jiffy..

 

Definitely an ancient hoe bequeathed to me by a lovely former client, sadly deceased. She had wonderful sandy soil, ideal for running a hoe over quickly to do away with weed seedlings. Unfortunately, every garden I've ever had has been on clay soil, but it still comes in handy for about 6 weeks of the year I think of her every time I use it.....

 

It has to be my border fork although I haven't got any borders. My current garden is on bedrock and full of tree roots so a spade is hopeless. I also use the fork for weeding and turning soil both here and in previous gardens, so never felt the need for a hoe.

 

Most useful tool , is the thin trowel . I think they are called transplanter trowels. These are ideal for weeding , digging planting holes , general tidying etc . Also where would we be without the plastic trug for transporting the garden waste to the green bin .
Lawnmowers are pretty useful as well , it's hard work cutting a lawn on your knees with scissors

 

Whilst I like my Felco's, my absolute fave are my Okatsune 103 Bypass Secateurs - sharp as anything & make a lovely satisfying clunk - recommended, even at the rather eye watering price over here.

 

I couldn't agree more.I love mine with a passion.
