Gardening Gear: EP.2 Digging Tools

Gardening Gear: EP.2 Digging Tools

In the previous video we looked at a few tools for new gardeners. After some initial gardening you’re probably ready to get some serious work done. Often times that involves moving some earth. In this episode we look at a couple of common and iconic digging tools. In addition, we will look at a gardening tool that is less iconic and very fun to use– a drain spade.

Like the hand mattock, the idea to try out a drain spade came from watching professional landscapers using them.

    Now, this is one tool I would like to have too. I bought a plumbers shovel, ย its similar and my favourite garden tool. I love having grapes around. I had a few over the years. I have no secret how to successfully grow them, they just happen to work for me. My friend grew a cutting for me. I think it will fruit next year once I have it in the ground.
