What is your favorite/most useful garden tool ?

I have a few favorites,my Secateurs,shears ,lawn edger and little cuttings knife ..Oh and also a sweeping brush.My old Dad always said "a sweeping brush is invaluable in a garden".

So what's yours?

 

has to be my mums spade & fork I have now been given, they must be easily 60 years old and still do the job they were made for ..

Aunt Sally, she’s blummin’ useful

 

By 'eck Feddy you don't change do you,I'm glad to say.

 

My gardener, Ben.

 

What is your favorite/most useful garden tool ?
Well basically it depends on what you are doing at the time.
I mean, I find secateurs useful, but not when I'm digging.
I find my old Dad's spade very useful, but not when I',m pruning, I could go on, but I'll spare you that.

 

I asked for that didn't I..

 

Yeah, welcome back.

 

I did wonder where I was going wrong, now I know

 

You're learning @Freddy

 

My home made cultivator....I.e. a garden fork with tines bent at 90 degrees. Ideal for prepping veg patch prior to raking, for mixing compost into top soil and for breaking down clods of soil.
I also use another contrived tool to make furrows 4 x 3” apart .....perfect for sowing carrots, beetroot, peas and spring onions.

 

A skateboard. I can't imagine how borders next to a path were weeded before skateboards were invented. It's also very handy for fitting lawn edging and any job at ground level

 

Most Useful?









































It's invaluable, it's in use every week.

 

I don't have a favourite, i just use them for the job they're made for and for sometimes jobs they're not made for , as i'm heavy handed i usally break them anyway, me garden fork has been repaired 4 times now, metal handle with plastic coat, but i do like me shedder (lost how many times that's broke)
