Innovative tools lessen the hassle of yard work
Garden disc: This three-in-one tool can help with edging the lawn, weeding and digging as with a patio knife. Here are some of the latest gadgets to make your time in the garden a little easier -- and maybe even a little more fun. Cape Cod weeder: Especially for left-handed people, this tool skims underneath the surface, cutting weeds off at the roots. Patio knife: This tool is great at removing weeds from paths, sidewalks, rock gardens, tile and concrete joints. Swirling the point in the soil will create the right-sized hole. Just walk around turf areas to open air passages that allow water, oxygen and nutrients to get to the roots. Corkscrew weeder: This innovative tool combines a spiral drill that, when rotated into the soil, will remove troublesome weeds with tap roots. New designs on perennial favorites also incorporate ergonomic P-handle grips that allow the use of either one or two hands, while giving more pushing and pulling power. Dibber: Easy to use, this tool helps with planting bulbs or seeds. These shoes have 2-inch spikes that pierce through thick thatch, high-traffic compacted areas and turf areas.

Are there any tools that you found to be indispensable tool for gardening. If you only had only a small space to keep the tools for your gardening hobby, what would you keep above all else. So when faced with the challenge of putting together a highly useful, versatile and long-lasting collection of small tools, this is what I have come up with. Have any tools been handed down in your family or any brands that you absolutely swear by for their quality. There is a bit of sticker shock on some items, but I approached the list with the understanding that these will be used for quite some time, and maybe even handed down some day. But I will be interested to see if these items all are long-term and useful staples in the toolbox. I can't live without my Soil Scoop -- I have a trowel or 2 but this replaces that and it works amazingly well. com/Soil-Scoop/GardeningTools_PlantingTools,36-433,default,cp....
