The Perfect Garden Weeding & Planting Tool


This durable Weeding Tool also performs as any number of tools, all in one. Whereas gardeners use it for weeding out especially rigid and hard-to-remove weeds, landscapers often double up its use as a planting aid. Owing to its tough construction, it also performs as an excellent chipping hammer for removing cement from bricks, scoring rocks and shaping them when constructing walls and sidewalks of Natural Stone - in short, just about 101 uses. I always keep one of these close and the wide number of applications I have found for this really just doesn't stop. Once again, for weeding, this may be the ultimate tool, but for planting annuals and even bulbs - which occasionally requires loosening tough soils, this little guy is the answer there, too. This is another versatile item, far more useful than it might appear. I adore these tools.

The Best Garden Bucket Caddy


Fiskars 9424 Garden Bucket Caddy


This is one of those labor saving devices which was actually invented long before it was retailed generally. I recall using old bags and the same 5 gallon bucket for prunings, irrigation work, tree and plant planting, working with annuals and bulbs and about 50 other tasks. We would tie nail bags to the handle and have 3-5 of them dripping off the side, one for tools, the others for parts or whatever. Now it has become organized, durable as heck - even sized to match the various accouterments like cell phones, radios, CB's and the specific tools which tend towards the same size. Do not underestimate the value of something so compact - that is, in fact, the reason for its existence. Tote around an amazing diversity of small tools and put parts, garbage, plantings, nuts and bolts - whatever - into the nice and sizeable interior cavern. This is a true gardener and landscaper's friend right here.

A Superb Digging Fork

The Best Digging Fork Around is what landscapers and gardeners refer to as a "workhorse" type of tool. An unbreakable resin-encased steel shaft with its unique stainless steel blade design offers a tool of powerful durability. This tool is superb for loosening soils, handling compost and integrating it into soil, mixing and filtering items between the forks. With nearly four times the gripping surface of conventional tools, with room for both hands, it offers a sturdy front for the heavy work of manually integrating elements of soils. This is a really cool tool of professional quality with a lifetime guarantee. Dimensions: 7.5 by 4.0 by 42.9 inches (width by depth by height). This is a "keeper" and should simply last forever. I love this tool.

BBC DVD Earth Collection

The BBC DVD Earth Collection is an unbelievably interesting set of 6 DVD's which depict the epic story of life on Earth. Typical of BBC quality, this gorgeous boxed set is inclusive and near-total, and is just fascinating learning material. The breath-taking shots of remote and fascinating views of the Earth as we know it couple with historical data and virtual renditions of the formation and maturity of The Blue Planet. Plentiful attention is paid to the development of plants and onwards into animal life to the Modern Age. The formation of minerals, crystal processes, volcanic origins and the role of water itself intermix throughout and provide stunning viewing. It would be difficult to find a better "History of Earth" anywhere.
