Garden author Doug Green at www.gardening-tools-guide.com Two garden tools I use for 90% of all my summer gardening. You don’t need fancy gadgets to garden better – just these two good tools. And that brings up the main point to be made in selecting any garden tool. The first is that quality rules. My pair of Felco hand pruners shown in this video are over 30 years old. They were the first tool I purchased in my nursery and they’ve never left my hip in that time. I have a holster that sits on my belt (use a carabiniere to attach it to a loop) so I don’t set them down and lose them. This tool can be resharpened and all parts are replaceable unlike the cheaper tools. While Felco has developed other models in the past 30 years, you can still buy the original and parts today. The second hand tool I’m showing there is a Korean hoe or ho-mi. Forged of one piece of steel and the tang is well seated in the wood handle, these tools also last for years. i use it season long in the flower garden – from planting in the spring (it’s perfect for planting young seedlings) to cultivating around plants in the summer to yanking stuff out in the fall. This single tool does it all. And that’s the difference between a pro and an amateur when it comes to garden tools particularly hand pruners and cultivating tools. A pro has a few really good tools and an amateur has a lot of fashionable but not well-thought-out tools. You can read Doug’s articles and blogs at www.douggreensgarden.com
