Digging & Cultivating Tools


Corona EdgeMASTER Lawn & Garden Edger (LG 3684): Product Review


The Corona EdgeMASTER is lightweight yet strong enough to take a lot of abuse, making it a good choice for edging in tough conditions, such as in compacted soil, heavily matted turf and through thick roots. The ComfortGEL handle makes it easier on your hands than models without the extra cushioning, and the highly ridged footrest gives you a secure footing when putting your weight on it. The tool can be rocked back and forth Continue Reading

Truly Garden Hori Hori: Product Review


Overall, I am pleased with the performance of this traditional digging knife. It is a perfectly functional hori hori with a strong, sharp blade, and comes with Truly Garden, hori hori, digging knife a leather sheath and sharpening rod. I would (and likely will) buy it again when looking for a traditional soil knife. However, the handle is not particularly ergonomic so leaves my hand a bit sore and cramped after extended use and the Continue Reading

Sun Joe Lithium-Ion 40-volt 12-inch Cordless Tiller + Cultivator: Product Review


Don't be fooled by its toy-like looks - the Sun Joe tiller + cultivator is a real workhorse! Lightweight, maneuverable, and compact, it's ideal for anyone with a smaller garden or limited storage space (the fold-down handles are a plus!).

Garden Weasel Multi-Use Transplanter: Product Review


This cross between a trowel and hori-hori would be good for someone who gardens a lot, has a small space to work with, and has good hand and knee functionality. With four blades instead of two (including two serrated and two sharp edges), it does a good job with multiple gardening tasks, from weeding to planting to cutting. It’s good value for the price, comfortable to hold, and relatively lightweight. Continue Reading
