Speedweeder. It looks like a hook with a handle but it grubs out the weeds and also has many other uses. Very efficient, cheap and used (and sold) in Helligan and other National Trust places.

for borders & in between rows....is it a trowel? Is it a rake? No, it's a trake!

had it 4yrs and love it. Beautifully balanced and graded depths on the trowel for planting.

My barbie spade - no its not pink, but all the men call my border spade a barbie spade because it is smaller.
I can still shovel the horse muck with the best of them, though :D

I voted other - my hand fork. Lost it this morning and found it in one of the daleks, I must have put it in there. I think all hand tools should be bright colours, not green or brown.

My fork and spade. An elderly neighbour RIP. gave them to me. They are both which he called Ladies tools. So unless I can find a man (am I kidding) to use my original fork and spade they are now redundant.

The best 'tool' I have is a Shredder.

My Grandads old hoe and sharpening stone - proper long handle and keeps really sharp edge, makes me feel good to use it ;D

a teaspoon - for potting on small seedlings (if I lose it I feel lost) ;D but apart from that it would have to be a trowel

Definitely my fork- wouldn't be without it!

cornykev · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2008, 15:02:49 »

Sorry but another one who thought it was a watershedder :P :-* mines my fork, I better go back, I forgot to vote. ;D ;D ;D

It has to be a border fork for me. I hardly ever use a spade, bit too heavy for me.

My bronze trowel. http://www.implementations.co.uk/ perfect trowel, and slugs don't like copper. ;)

My right angled fork (azada)...versatile and brilliant at clearing bramble stumps and couch grass. And digging! ;D
