You know I told you in my last post how my dad was here from Oregon! Guess what we did? You guessed it yardwork. Well, most of you may not like gardening or yardwork, but I actually love it. I find that if I have the right garden tools I can turn a ugly duckly yard into a beautiful swan garden. Kind of makes me feel close to God playing in the dirt!
I hadn't really edged along my lawn and concrete pathways since I bought the house in 2006. So edging was really essential to making the lawn look professional. You would be surprised what a difference edging can make. That's why I am saying the proper garden tools for the job will make that gardening/yard much easier.
I did some shopping around, you see I have a home in Oregon already fully stocked with yard supplies. I have been slowly building up my yard supplies and garden tools back here in the big midwest. I have discovered that for different areas of this United States you can use some garden tools in some states and get away with it, and then on the other hand you might have to invest in something that works for the state that your in.
Let's take Edger's in Oregon a lightweight weedeater, can be used for a edger, because the soil is so different. Now here in Missouri, we are rock country. I was replacing the line on a lightweight weedeater every couple of inches...if I made it that far. Wasn't to happy with this situation as I was stopping, pulling on the line, pushing down, stopping get the picture! They are farily inexpensive these edgers/weedeaters. Works well if you don't use them as a edger in my opinion.
So I found a answer to my back ache, found a answer to not having to push down to get more line. Do I have your curiousity up yet? This Garden tool is also Eco-friendly! Runs on a 18 volt battery, not gas, not electricity(no cord to run over...I will have to tell you my lawnmower story some time about a cord I ran over). It's a 2 in 1 Trimmer/Edger. No sore back because the head of this puppy tilts 90%, the line automatically feeds. Did you read that the line automatically feeds! Cool huh! Weighs a whole whopping 7 lbs, has it's own built in wheels, has a 30 day no risk money back guarantee!
They have a payment plan of 3 payments of .33, <strong>plus a free lifetime of supply line! Ok every year for weedeating I always have to replace the line. Well now I don't have two because I get a free lifetime supply.
So bottom line here is if you want the job done right,for your garden or yard, always have the right tools for the job. If your husband wants to know how come you spent so much money on an edger/trimmer remind him of the right tools for gardening and yardwork will save on his pocketbook and back in the long run. See you on the green side!
P.S. Let me know how this worked out for you!
God Bless!

Gardening Tools question by One: Can someone help me find a gardening tool I saw in an infomercial some time back?
It was a long instrument and had something of a circular fork shape at the end. It looked like it was used for digging. The handle seemed like a unique design as well. It seemed like you push it down with your foot and a simple twist and it helps loosen the soil. I tried googling garden tools but couldn't come up with what I saw on t.v.
It seems like a good tool for the type of land I am on. I want to grow a garden but the dirt is mainly rock. I have a bad back and would need a good instrument for digging. Thanks in advance.

It's called the Garden Weasel Garden Claw.

But if you have hard soil with rocks along with a bad back I don't think that tool will be easy for you to use. Many of those garden tools are for use in soft & loose soils only to cultivate the soil that has been previously loosened by some other means. If your soil is very rocky like mine is you won't be able to get that tool into the ground to begin with (I can't even get a digging pic into mine without repeated attempts). Now once you have the soil tilled up well the garden claw will help you to keep it loose and weed free in the open areas around & between the plants but it will also damage the roots of any plants in the garden if you get too close to them. If you can afford it I'd suggest you buy a small motorized garden tiller or cultivator, they have them in different sizes, models, & prices and some are the manual type while others are electric or gas powered. Below is just a few that I found with a Google search for garden tillers or cultivators.
