This year I broke"
3 rakes
2 axes
4 shovels
18 pairs of gloves.
No small tools- don't use them too much, The tiling spade has to be my most
used tool. Otherwise I am in the process of replacing all the soils in the
beds with new soil that I do not need tools (Except the shovel to loosen the
plants up) to work with.
I have had enough with our clay-muck native soil, its rich but to heavy.
Switching to an organic loam-needs lots of fertilizer but its easy to work
with.
