TOOLS AND RESOURCES
These tools are used daily by Leaf and Spade gardeners and are very highly recommended.
DeWit Dutch Diamond Hoe
The DeWit Dutch Diamond Hoe has a blade that lays flat on the ground to slice weeds at or just below the surface. It cuts in both directions so there is no wasted movement. The unique pistol grip at the end of the handle is critical for helping keep your back upright while usage and no bending is necessary! (There are similar looking tools online without the pistol grip. The savings for those tools is definitely not worth the loss of usability).
We’ve found the linked source to be the most reliable and affordable online source, and you support their small business! You can also get one in person from our awesome friends at Northwind Perennial Farm in Burlington, WI., and get their incredible plants while you are there!
Felco 2 Pruners
The Felco 2 is the gold standard of hand pruners—durable, razor-sharp, and perfectly balanced. Swiss-made with replaceable parts. This is a tool you will have for a lifetime, and the red handles will keep you from losing it in the garden!
We like to keep ours in a leather sheath that hooks on our belts or pockets, which keeps them safe and out of the dirt. Oh, and we think we look great!
Geka Watering Wand
This watering wand delivers a smooth, gentle spray and effortless reach, while the quick-connect system makes swapping tools fast and hassle-free. This watering wand helps you put the water directly at the base of the intended plant, not spraying the surrounding soil or all the leaves, saving water and time. We’ve found this one to be far superior to the ones sold at big box stores for a very similar price.
Our clients who use this say it is a gamechanger!
