Hi, and Happy New Year.
I want to start a post about hand tools. Because I don't have ANY..
I'm
feeling pretty good about last years endeavor. I'm really want to get
going. There's so many hoes and , Well, tools, I don't know what to get.
But I have weed issues. I thought the best thing to do was to pull them
and
as much of the root as possible. And I see in a couple catalogs there's
Swiss hoes and weed removers that cut weeds.
So what do you consider indispensable tools. That just make things much
easier. And what works really well on weeds.
1. Get a decent grinder and learn how to sharpen your garden tools. This
means spades, hoes and anything else that needs a good edge.
I have a dremel. Im pretty adept with it. I dont have a grinder though.
Well, I did, I gave it to somebody starting a shop. Maybe I will get
another one.
2. Keep a file nearby to maintain the edge on those tools while you are
working.
Ahh, good one. Never thought about it.
I dont have a wheel barrow, or any hoes. I do have a pointed shovel. I was
just out looking around, I think somebody heisted my sprinkler. But i found
a basket with a hand trowel gloves, and a knife. I think they were my moms
years ago.
I saw a Swiss D how in territorial or Johnies catalog. They aint cheap,
but Home Depot and Loews dont have one.
