I like to find new garden tools and sometimes find one which makes me wonder how I ever got by with out it. One such tool is the Japanese Hori Hori Weeder Knife, or as my husband and I call it, the Samurai sword (because we couldn't remember the proper name for it).
Share your favorite with me....and, if possible, a link to it. Thanks.

Oh, here's a link to the knife:

The scuffle hoe. I can weed in seconds and/or clear gorund for a new flowerbed in minutes and plant the same day ( not true when using herbicides !). It is the best thing going. Clears grass and weeds like a dream.

My lawn is thrashed after my gardener mowed it on a rainy day and there are indentations of the mower trail in my soil, the soil is no longer leveled. I recall my landscaper using a non-electric tool that looked like a metal barrel filled with water with handles (like a mower) to flatten the soil. What's the name of the tool?

it is called a roller. the water gives the barrel extra weight. pavers also use this device to tamp down or flatten blacktop

Price: $13.99 $10.99

Perfect for freshwater or saltwater usage.
The ergonomic grip lever makes it easy to manipulate attachment tongs or trimming scissors
interchangeable attachments make aquatic maintenance easy and enjoyable.

I used to just kneel down and pull weeds up by their roots. But since I was hit by a car a few years ago, if I do that my entire lower back spasms. And the weeds here are like little trees, their roots are so strong.
Last year we ended up paying a landscaper $1,600 just to take everything out. He did a fabulous job, but that's a LOT of money. I don't want my yard to be an eyesore and if there is a good weed-pulling tool out there, we'd save a lot of money (and I would get some much-needed exercise.) It would be great if the tool was one that I could use in a standing position and it got all the roots out.

Thanks all.
Anyone at all?

No bending or twisting to pull out the weeds.

I have recently discovered a love for gardening. However i am finding it hard to locate information and help online about gardening. Are there any good online tools for gardeners, like databases of plant species and information on growing plants.

contact your county extension service, they will be glad to steer you in the right direction.
