Is there one that you just can't live without? Mine would be my hand cultivator, I leave just enough room between the rows so that it's easy for me to get at them pesky weeds! Whats yours?

I have a hobby bordering on a vice. I like to raise pet trees. In order to repot them I have to comb out soil from fairly root bound soil blocks yearly. Nothing works so well at both soil removal and packing in fesh soil as a simple chop-stick.
From time to time I resharpen the business end so they become like pencils shorter as I use 'em.

Mine is my heavy duty steel wheelbarrel, it's my most used 'tool' and most appreciated one.

I consider the rake, shovel and wheelbarrow to be the essentials, although I'm trying to use even those less and less. My next-favorite tool is the Garden Weasel.

I'll 2nd the vote for a steel wheel barrow. On another forum, there was a discussion of several pages explaining ways to repair the tubs in plastic wheel barrows...why not just buy one that will last a life time with no more maintenance than pumping up a tire each spring?

Mine is my super big plastic wheel barrow with 2 wheels in the front. I love it!! Being in my 50's and hauling a chock full wheel barrow of compost to the garden the 2 wheels in the front balance the whole mess for me ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/AlTVKjAhCypksR0Ugttf.png) I got a Rogue Hoe this xmas, and can't wait to try that out in a couple months to.

Three things I love. My Garden Claw Gold, Scuffle Hoe, and the dog bomb bucket I made by recycling a blue maxwell house coffee container--nice wide opening for scooching in the bombs.
