Great Garden Tools Make Gardening Easier
Great garden tools are the foundation for making gardening easier and more enjoyable. And here's my bias - it's far better to spend a lot of money on a really good tool that will last a lifetime than it is to get cheap tools that not only make the work harder but don't last as long.
And my second bias is that I only use the minimum of tools - the standards - and avoid the gimmicky stuff that appears constantly and are overhyped in marketing work.
These pages are straight-from-the-shoulder articles and reviews of what I use and what I believe works.

"Flower pots are of many different kinds, but the common red earthen-ware are decidedly the best, because they are the most porous, and consequently do not retain the moisture so as to be injurious to the plants they contain."
