I keep one hanging by the back door - great for picking mud out of shoes before you go in!

Rick,
Where did you purchase your "hoof pick"? Sounds interesting.
Thanks,
Mike

Any feed store or pet supply that sells horse supplies. There are also plenty of equestrian supply mail order businesses with online catalogs. A Google search for would turn them up.

Tweezers are great for pulling out little weeds that are growing in clumps of alpines, or in scree that you don't want to disturb.

The cool thing is, tweezers come with different shape tips, from pointy and narrow (splinter removal) to wide and flat (for eyebrow/hair tweezing). So you can get a width and shape that works for various situations.

Mike, I got mine from the coop in Maple Plain.
