Jenny asks…
what is this garden tool called?
it has a long (can also be short) t-bar handle and has a kind of twisty bit on the bottom. it is used for turning over heavy soil, such as clay really easily.
i can’t remember what it’s called, but i need to buy one!
GardenersCardiff answers:
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.
Michael asks…
What age range would buy a gardening tool?
For a project at school, I’ve chosen a gardening tool, but I can’t seem to find the age range for people who want to buy it.
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.

Lizzie asks…
where can i take my tools to get sharpened?
I wanting to take my garden tools, lawn mower blade and axe to get the items sharpened to make their use more efficient.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Buy a good 12 inch Mill-bastard file. It’s cheaper than the sharpening shop. All of the tools except the lawn mower are soft steel and the file will do the job quite well. The lawn mower will take a grind stone of some type.
Lisa asks…
Does it matter how to set up the row to grow potatoes?
I am wondering if you need to set up the row vertically or horizontally to grow potatoes? Also, what garden tools should I use to do this? If the potatoes are above the soil should I put more soil on top of it and before I plant should I put fertilizer on side of the potato seed or on top of it? Any potato growing help is appreciate.
GardenersCardiff answers:
The row thing isn’t that important – Potatoes need depth – the roots are very deep. It’s best to cover them with a good few inches of soil. Some of the best and fastest results come from using grow bags – place small slits all the way up the bag and insert the seedlings deep into the bag. In no time at all you’ll have loads of potatoes!
For ground: Place fertilizer on top of the soil after planting – not too much though, potatoes grow very well (and taste better when organic).
