| Hey you guys,
I just posted this in the Texas forum, but thought that I might catch more answers in this forum.
Can you help me with a little insight? I'm working on a creative project and want to know:
1. What your most used garden tool is.
2. If you had to choose between these 3, which would it be?
Shovel, Spade, Hand trowel or another hand tool (Which one?)
3. Lastly, what garden tool do you think of first when you think of gardeners?
Thanks,
Xtal

Are you asking these questions for advertising purposes?
Anyway, a hose is the most used tool in my dry area.
Shovel is preferred over spade and hand trowel.
A hand trowel is what I picture in the hands of gardeners. |

| Hey Sylvia, I'm keeping all the responses to my posting. I imagine that my project could easily take a year... once completed, I'll be taking lots of pictures of it to send out to all those who posted their thoughts... then, I'll probably put it all over the GW. Xtal |

Oh, yes, forgot to mention pruners :-).
My son just gave me a fancy kind of pruners for the Holidays that I can hardly wait to use when this rain stops. |

| most used tools; hose, pruners, and trowel. I use shovels a lot also. I definately see myself with my trowel and my pruners equally. |

| The tool I used most often would be a tie between a Japanese weeder (Martha Stewart) and my pruners. When I first started my yard here 7 years ago, I used a pick ax since my property is very rocky. But now-thankfully-I rarely use it! |

1) Hose
2) Shovel
3) Gloves |

# 1 hand cultivator
If I had to choose between those three would be hand trowel. What do I picture in hands of gardeners...fruits of their labors.
oh, tool? trowel.
