HAND SICKLE

While the broadfork makes short work of cultivating large areas, the digger/planter
CULTIVATING WITH THE DIGGER/PLANTER
is a handy tool for up close gardening-- moving soil for planting
and row formation. It is also a great weeder! You can easily remove newly emerging weeds
by scraping the straight edge of the blade across the soil surface.

Another great all-around gardening tool is the needle nose garden shears. It is a light weight pruner and harvester.

AND . . .
The single most useful all around garden hand tool is the hand sickle--a fantastic weeder.
WEEDING WITH THE HAND SICKLE--INSERT BLADE IN GROUND TO TUG AT ROOT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PULLING TOP OF PLANT WITH OTHER HAND.
WEED TAP-ROOTS THAT WON'T PULL COMPLETELY OUT CAN BE CUT WAY BELOW THE SURFACE.
Heavy weight galvanized steel hoops containing "no knot tie loops" that allow you to easily run string through each hoop down the full length of the bed to support the row cover. approximate dimensions of hoops: 24" high x 24" wide.
I've been gardening and landscaping for over a quarter century; and over that period of time I've tried many tools for tilling the soil, weeding and pruning in gardens and orchards and in landscapes. Listed on this page are some of my all-time favorite gardening tools. Useful and durable tools that have served me well, ranging from as low as $10 for my favorite weeder (hand sickle) to $165 for a broadfork for soil tilling that is designed for durability and is locally made by an Indiana master welder. Well-made tools help to make better gardeners. I hope you'll find the tool you're looking for right here.

DIGGER/PLANTER also called EZ-DIGGERTM
The digger/planter is a unique all-purpose garden tool of Korean origin. It digs, weeds, and thins. Use it to dig holes for planting and transplanting, open and close rows for planting and transplanting, loosen soil around plants. The curve of the pointed blade allows soil to be thrown to the side like a plow. This makes it easier to dig holes and trenches. Pulling this tool is easier for digging and loosening soil than pushing a hand spade.The edges of the blade are used to level, mound and loosen soil and cover seeds. Use to tear up sod, remove heavily rooted weeds, turn dirt back from sidewalk edges and for defining bed edges for mulching. It will cut through landscaping fabric to insert plants, grub out weeds, and move and smooth soil and mulch. A versatile garden tool I wouldn't be without.
GARDEN SHEARS
This tool is my second all-around most used tool.
Its sharp straight blades are great for dead-heading, detail pruning, and other chores that require precision cuts. Great for picking fruit, gathering vegetables, cutting buds and flowers. High carbon, pointed, needlenose garden shears, 2" straight blade, 7 1/2" long. A light-weight compliment to the by-pass pruner.
HAND SICKLE
This is my number one favorite tool!
I do a lot of weeding, by hand, and this tool is, without doubt, the best weeder I have ever used! I insert the sharp stainless steel serrated blade into the soil to make contact with the weed's root. I can usually lift the entire weed with its root completely out of the soil by an upward tug with the sickle while pulling the above-ground part of the weed with my other hand. If the weed has a deep taproot, I insert the blade to cut off its root far below the surface and yank the weed out. This handy tool is also great for trimming grass in tight spots where the mower won't reach. I use the hand sickle for most all my weeding chores and occasional trimming and dead-heading. The very sharp stainless steel blade retains sharpness even with a lot of digging through soil and it will not rust. Wooden handled (model with blue plastic handle is featured on the right)
