    Great Garden Tools

    I recently got one of those multi function hose nozzles, it can do everything from mist, to shower, to jet. Very useful misting lawn seed, plus all the other stuff it can do.

    Another great garden tool of sorts, is the "30 seconds outdoor cleaner" which now comes in a hose on pack, was quick and easy to hose on and seems to be cleaning my garden walls nicely, especially the part in the sun. The chemists on here will pro'ly know what effect the sun has, it smells a bit like bleach. I've used the direct spray stuff before, it also works well, but is a bit time consuming. It did burn my mondo grass bordering the wall a bit, but I'm pro'ly the only one who'll notice it and I think the dead blades will just rake out.

    I can recommend against NOT buying the $6 Saxon metal garden rake from Bunnings.
    Mine is more beaten up after 2 uses than the Saxons at the Wendish Crusades.

    My Fiskars broad plastic rake is taking an absolute punishing though, and loving it too!

    My only advice is to not skimp on a shovel (or spade) - Buy a decent, known brand. My 15 year old Cyclone shovel was about stuffed, so I bought another. I've had a cheapy in between but didn't go the distance.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Got to be careful with axes too. Some are ok for Scandinavian pine and the like but show them a decent hardwood and they chip.

    I have a Kelly that I have had for nearly 50 years. My dad had a Plumb which my mother and sister in law left in a pine forest one Chrissie. Boy, was he an upset and somewhat angry man for a while.

    Very few women can be trusted with an edged tool made for timber work.
    Seeing what my wives and daughters have done to axes and adzes over the years would bring tears to the eyes of Atilla the Hun.

    And they love to leave them out in the weather......

    Which as we know stuffs them all pretty quick

    As for spades,us brothers share one that we call the 'blue spade'.It was our parents.

    Sure its blue,but it is heavy and has a skinny blade.Fantastic for digging holes.

    Must be around 45yrs old at least,still going strong.

    I have an old cyclone post hole shovel that I've had for 20 years. It's done everything from saving my ass on the Roe Plains and helping right my defender from on it's side to shifting tones of soil, rocks and gravel doing up my gardens at three or four houses. Love that shovel.

    Also have a nice set of Japanese gardening shears I got for my birthday two years ago. So nice to use to prune the kangaroo paws after using crap and cheap ones for years.
    "Dolores" my '97 model 300tdi D1 and "Donkey" my '20 RE Himalayan.

    Previous: ‘00 D2, '04 110 wagon, '96 D1 and '95 110 ute, plenty of other bikes and cars too :angel:
