Garden Tools

Garden tools have come a long way from being your typical shovel, pail and rake. From collection tools to form fitting gloves to leaf scoops, just about anything implement imaginable is rapidly becoming a necessary item for your gardening equipment collection. The reason for the explosion of different and unique garden tools is the rejuvenation in gardening. Now more than ever, people are returning to their yards and creating fantastic landscapes and gardens. With this new found interest in gardening comes the entrepreneurial spirit of America and the inspired inventions to make your gardening tasks easier.

Even the traditional garden tools, such as rakes, shovels and spades, are all getting facelifts with soft spongy handles and vibrant colors. One of the more inventive ideas is a carry bag or tool bag to place all your smaller tools in and take with you through out the yard. A simple concept no one had ever thought of. Other innovations include water hose reels, kneeling pads, aerator shoes, weed poppers (the name explains the action used), electronic soil testers, and even sturdy aluminum garden carts that make the old fashioned wheel barrel obsolete.
