The garden claw…..What a waste of space this tool is….really easy…I don’t think so…..
If you are intending to grow veg I suggest that you make raised beds where the clay will act as a water holder. You will never make good soil out of clay..

But if you insist on digging it up then use a spade….Its much easier.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Depends on the type of tool. Long handle, older people who can’t bend easily. Big tiller type tool, young people who can manage heavy equipment. Think about what strength and agility the tool will require, then figure out the age group which is best for it.

Hoe with an ‘e’ is the gardening tool and ‘ho’ is slang for any slutty girl, prostitute or not. I’ve never seen the latter with the e.

I like placing pressure treated 4×6 on the ground where the building contacts the ground. Dig a post hole at each corner of the building below the frost line . Bend a piece of rebar, in the shape of a u,over the 4×6 and fill hole with sackcrete covering both ends of the rebar by 6 inches. I then screw the building to the 2×6. Use a 1×4 as a spacer between the building and the 2×6. So the rebar has room over the 2×6. If you want a floor I would use wood nailed to the 4×6. Depending on the size of the building you might need additional 4×6 in the center . I would space at 24 inches.

Sorry I use a pencil to make the hole the depth I want it and place 3 seeds in each hole. We couldn’t afford special tools, so can’t be of any help here.

Are you trying out Hydroponics?If this is correct then you can do it this way.Make a timber A-frame.Mount pieces of plastic guttering(from plumbing supplies) on frame.Stop each end of gutters with a plastic end piece.Seal with adhesive.Fill the gutters with the nutrient.Put wire netting over the gutter.Grow your plants through the netting.My A-frame was 6′ high,3′ wide. I had four gutters each side.I grew lettuce,beetroot,carrots,tomatoes etc.If you want to do it your way then fill a bucket with nutrient,put some wire netting in,and sit plant on the wire netting.There is also a website-try Hydroponics on Google.

A good heavy duty rear tined rototiller will take care of the soil and if you cut the shrubs down to the ground first it will digup the roots if they are not to large. You can probably rent one at a local rental yard for a day and see if it does what you need before you purchase one

Any kind for the part that needs painted. You do not paint the working part. A light coat of oil is all it needs. If you are going to leave the tools out in the weather, you may as well not have them.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Well, since you didn’t say how rusty they really are, there are several methods. For heavy rust, mechanically cleaning with a power wire brush might be necessary or a hand powered wire brush which is much more work. There are several products that will remove rust, one being Naval Jelly. You just spread it on and wait – follow the directions on the bottle. Iron Out is another product. Your local hardware store or auto parts store may have other products that do the same thing.
After all the rust is removed, the tools must be cleaned, dried, and then sprayed with a rust prevention product like WD-40.
Otherwise a good paint job is required but paint wears off with each use.
Good luck.

A shovel, and a lot of sweat. Good luck to you.

Use them all, but be delicate:

Terry – liquor him up and have him pull weeds at a fever pitch for 8 minutes, the let him lie in the garden to sleep it off.

Jimmy next – bury a grilled cheese sandwich in the dirt and he’ll basically till your garden looking for it.

Jenny – have her tell the neighborhood boys that the first one to remove all the weeds gets to cop a feel on her.

You will have zero weeds left after this phase 3 deployment of your tools.

Hey T,

Just do what you can, and enjoy it. A good sharp shovel is one great tool you can hardly live without. Making raised beds is easy. Take your time, turn over the area you want to use as a garden area with the shovel. On the outside of that area, where you will walk, take a shovel of soil all the way around, and put it into the garden soil. Now, never walk on the garden soil again, it will be raised above the walk level. You can raise that bed higher by amending the soil with composted materials. That will give your garden soil some structure. This bed will be progressively easier to turn over each season, because you will fluff it up each year.

So, if you only do a 2′ by 2′ square, you can put 4 tomato plants and some garlic. The bed being higher will be easier for you to work it also. If your walk area is wide enough for a 5 gallon bucket, turn it upside down for a stool.

Now a trowel and a hand weeder (never know what to call that gadget with 3 prongs) can do the rest. Water, weed, plant, fertilize, and enjoy! Happy Gardening.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I would call a hoe, a shovel, a rake a gardening tool. A tiller, a mulcher, garden hose would ge gardening equipment. All of these can be found at any hardware store, most nurseries or WalMart, Sears, etc

GardenersCardiff answers:

Beyond the usual rake (bow rake or regular) and full-sized shovel, You’ll need a few hand-sized tools. There are 2 types of hand shovels that are best–a regular shovel and a trowel, which is thinner and is a better size to plant small plants with. I also have a great tool that I picked up a few years ago. It looks like the back side of an pickax (like a thin hand-held hoe) on one side, and a small rake on the other. It can even tear up sod or roots if you chop with it.
