PRODUCT PAGE SITE DIRECTORY GARDENING: IRRIGATION COMPONENTS: EMITTER TYPES KITS: ACCESSORIES: Support Stakes/Tubing Hold Downs/Clamps/Hangers IN MY OPINION. . . the single most useful all-around garden hand tool is the hand sickle--a fantastic weeder and trimmer.
LONG HANDLED HORI HORI This long handled model has a 6 3/4" long, hardened 5/32" thick steel blade, as above-- but without engraved depth measurements. Wood handle is 8" long.
Included sheath has belt loop and snap strap for keeping tool securely fastened.
LONG HANDLE HORI HORIWhile the broadfork makes short work of cultivating large areas, 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.

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 $11.50 for my favorite weeder (hand sickle) to $180 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. Richard Cartwright 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 finely serrated blade (14 points per inch) 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 steel blade retains sharpness even with a lot of digging through soil. The yellow wooden handle makes this tool easy to find when left in the garden.

![]() 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.

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. Stainless steel, pointed, needlenose garden shears, 2" straight blade, 7 1/2" long. A light-weight compliment to the by-pass pruner.
GARDEN SHEARS
HORI HORI
Dig, weed, divide perennials, trans-plant. Beveled for shoveling and a serrated side for sawing.
Hori-Hori means “dig-dig”! These knives are multipurpose – weed, plant, divide perennials, even cut sod. They are beveled for shoveling and have a serrated edge for sawing. The blade is marked for depth measurement for easy planting. This tool has become a favorite amongst Master Gardeners! Vinyl sheath included.
This is a great additional tool to have in your gardening kit.
STEEL HOE/PICK Strong and well balanced, this solid forged tool can be used as a planter or a weeder--and is especially effective for grubbing out stubborn perennial weeds and tree saplings or breaking up clay soil. ROOT CUTTER SICKLE Having the same, indestructable, stainless steel blade as the hand sickle above, the root cutter is more heavily serrated and will make short work of larger tap-rooted weeds and tree seedlings. PATIO WEEDERS The thin blades of this weeder set are perfect for getting into tight spots to rake out weeds between paving stones. PATIO KNIFE WEEDER SET
ADJUSTABLE STEEL RAKE
ZENBORI SOIL KNIFE Similar to the Japanese HoriHori knife but with an ABS plastic handle. The blade is stainless steel with a cutting serration on one side.. Perfect tool for cutting roots, transplanting, digging in the home garden or even commercial horticulture operations. *(ABS is a strong resilient material having a shiny, impervious surface). The orange handle lessens the likelihood of misplacing this tool in the garden ZENBORI SOIL KNIFE
A TERRIFIC WEEDING HOE!
Stirrup HoeNEW!... 24" Machete with canvas sheath
24" MacheteHARDWOOD DIBBLE
DIBBLES
The dibble ( or 'dibber', or 'dibbler' ) is the world's oldest garden tool--a sharp stick. A fast and efficient tool for planting small wildflower bulbs and for setting in transplants. Transplanting with a dibble is much easier on the wrist than trying to do it with a hand transplanter spade. Push your dibble into the ground and push or twist it to the depth desired. It's easy to enlarge the original hole with a gentle rocking motion, provided the soil has been well worked.
These all-wood dibbles are a pleasure to use. The longer dibbles are back-savers, allowing you to walk down the row making your planting holes while standing.
Care of your dibble: After use, wipe clean with a damp rag.
