Delux 24" Bamboo Rake

First to recommend

Description

Lately, I've been trying to follow the footsteps of my mother and grandmothers. In Vietnam, we used bamboo rakes. There's something that feels so much better when using bamboo... Like the scratching sound when it hits concrete. The metal rakes make me cringe. The bamboo sound is almost soothing.

Ergonomic Pruners

First to recommend

Description

Great for people with arthritis or achy hands. These pruners have a rotating mechanism that helps reduce straining hand muscles. They do cost about twice as much as the regular, but if you are going to do a lot of yard or garden work, it's worth investing in great pruners.

Fiskars Pruning Stick

First to recommend

Description

This is an added luxury to own. It is a tool that's in between a lopper and a tree pruner. It allows me to reach about 7'-8' without ladder or an extended pole, which, if you are short, is very difficult to balance.

The Fiskars one is unique and works super well. I was able to prune some pretty large branches with them. And they also work well trimming smaller bushes. It's not required for the yard, but like I said, a luxury if you can afford it.

Fiskars Bypass Lopper

First to recommend

Description

One of my favorite tools. The name lopper seems so appropriate because when you do cut with these, they actually make the sound "lop, lop, lop." I know, it could have been too many hours in the sun.

Paper Refuse Bags

First to recommend

Description

Recycled and biodegradable. Super strong paper bags that can go beyond refuse. I currently have ten bags temporarily storing lava rocks.

You can also use the thrashed ones as lawn liners to prevent weed growth. Great trick. These will decompose faster than regular cardboard boxes.

Description

I thought I needed a hoe! I was wrong. Somebody finally explained to me the difference between a pitchfork and a hoe. Thank God.
