. . . don't make the gardener,
they are only helpers!
Gardeners should have good tools that help them do things
easier. Tools help you dig, cultivate, trim, haul, water and
protect. Most of the time, simple tools are the best. |

Dutch Hoes/
Scuffle Hoe
 Scuffle
hoes are used much as you would a shuffleboard mallet. They
are pushed ahead of you to cut the tops of annual weeds
(perennial weeds must be dug and removed) rather than chopping
them as you would with a garden hoe.

Pick and Mattock
The
pick/mattock is for serious digging through hard packed
soil and clay. The pick (pointed end) or the mattock (wide
blade) is used to chop down into the soil, and the cradle
design of the head can then be used as a lever to break
open the soil, allowing it to be shoveled more easily. |
