I'm a home gardener. Id rather spend my money on plants than a zillion tools - so here’s the tools I reach for every day; I'd rebuy each and every one of them.
Â
If I could have one garden tool it would be this. Grabs weeds by the root so easily. Spurge, crabgrass, sedge, you name it. This tool is sturdy and well made and honestly I’d pay double.

Â
I use this for every transplant, new planting, or even annuals that seem to need a pick me up. It’s magic.

A life saver, genuinely. So durable and lightweight. Makes carting tools out or yard waste in a lot easier.

Hand in hand with the Every. Single. Face. Recommendation- this is always within reach! I keep one with my garden tools so I can easily reapply. The spray version is also great!!
