There are many garden weeders now available on that market that claim be more effective than you common hoe or trowel for weeding. There are indeed a few garden tools out there that work very well for those tough weeds.
Try out Grandpa’s weeder, which has been around since 1913.
Another good option is a corkscrew weeder. These tools are designed to dig deep into the soil and pull out the weed by the root.
Uses:
Garden sieves are very handy pieces of equipment that will improve the quality of your soil, compost etc. Look for garden sieves that fit directly over your wheelbarrow. You can remove sticks, rocks, etc. from your soil or compost with a garden sieve. High quality plastic sieves won’t rust and will last a long time.
Uses:
A Japanese Hori-Hori knife is sort of a mixture between a trowel and a multi-purpose knife. The blade is concave like a trowel so it’s suitable for digging and weeding, and because it has a nice sharp blade, you can cut anything from garden twine to vines with it.
