We used this from everything to hauling compost, firewood, or piling in your gardens bounty. Works great!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these Japanese hand held sickles. In fact if I had to choose between this and a shovel I would be hard pressed to pass this up. Granted the weeds in Hawaii are fierce and the grass thick as a straw. I used this constantly.

Another invaluable tool. I like it much better than a regular old hoe. It is light, easy to wield and lightening fast at scraping up weeds in between rows an around plants.
|
 
|
I'm including this in the garden section because we use our ashes as a soil supplement around our fruit trees and in the garden. We do not have this bucket, though I wish we did!

A garden just isn't as fun unless you can spend a bit of time admiring it from one of these! This is a great alternative if you don't have the perfect two trees to tie one in!

You always need the basics!

The right pair of pruners can make the difference between feeling like you are wrestling a lion or cutting thru butter. Pass the butter please!

Another garden basic where it pays to get the best the first time. We never had to replace ours. Sturdy 5 star nozzles.
|
 
|
This one is on my wishlist. It is hard finding this type of nozzle that doesn't start leaking shortly after using it. This one has 5 stars and sounds like it is a keeper!

I prefer a plain wand to a fancy one. One setting is fine with me, with just an off and on valve. I don't know if this is the same brand as mine, but it has good reviews and looks like the same old basic wand. Great value for the price.

There are lots of better looking watering cans out there. There are probably better quality ones out there, but this is the one I use. First of all the hinged handle is a must for me, it is so much easier to water if the handle moves with you. One hand on the handle one under the can tipping it up(I don't really use the handle!) Also you can buy replacement heads for these which is a big plus.

These fruit pickers are great. They have telescoping handles so you can really get up there. If you have fruit trees this is a must! We used these all the time.
|
 
|
For bigger pruning jobs these are great and much less tiring on your hands than the smaller ones.
|
 
|
I haven't tried this brand but this type of pruner is invaluable on our farm. One of the basics. Has great reviews.
