MUST-HAVE TOOLS FOR ALL GARDENERS
We can't stress enough the importance of having good tools to work in the garden. You don't need 20 specialty tools to do the job, just a few solid go-to items that will take care of most any task you need to do. Over the years, we've tried 'em all, and believe me, most of them are garbage. They only last a year or two at most, they bend, they rust, and they just don't do the job they were meant to do. So we've put together a short list of our favorite gardening tools to save you a lot of grief and money. Let's get gardening!
