I really like all my backyard instruments as every has its particular goal and holds reminiscences, however the one I exploit most and wouldn’t wish to do with out is my Wolf Garten Weeding and Planting Knife. This has been with me for a few years, changing an identical one which acquired misplaced in my final backyard. (Probably thrown out with backyard garbage?) It got here from the gardening division of an area DIY retailer, the place this model and the Gardena model are the commonest.
I apologise for it being so soiled within the photographs… it’s in fixed use!
What jobs do you employ it primarily for?
I exploit it primarily for weeding and it’s particularly helpful for eradicating weeds with lengthy roots, like dandelions. However it’s also very best for planting out seedlings and small vegetation, dividing and replanting, and usually poking round within the soil!
I adore it for its simplicity and sturdiness (it’s made in Germany!), the ribbed grip which makes it simple to carry, and the marginally sharp level on the tip. And its color – really easy to seek out amongst a pile of backyard garbage! (It has been retrieved from the compost pile on quite a few events!) It could not look as aesthetic as some of the costlier backyard instruments on provide, however serves its goal completely
