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.

Loks good- Where can I get one?

I'm not sure where in the UK, but I'd imagine they're on sale over here now :-\...I had mine gifted to me 4yrs ago when, I think, they were quite new in the US.

You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.

Oh, definitely, my Vitrinox - given to me by my American cousin before his death.

Think of him a dozen times a day. Always there. No better memorial.

Only 2 of 6 functions shown.

I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

My ratchet secateurs. I do like a bit of nice therapeutic pruning... :D
And just as well, as I had about 30 ft of very overgrown old russian vine to prune back, in my new garden. Nearly there...

I voted other as my favourite tool after all the winter diggings done is my 3 pronged cultivator. The prongs have very wide blades about 1" wide and a long handle.With a little efoort the plot can be well and truely worked quite quickly. Guaranteed to get a Robin, bobin' about.

Got to be my hoe. No matter what jobs I have to do, I always make sure I have a 15-20 minute hoe around my plots.
