Garden Hand Forks and Trowels
Essentially miniature spades and forks these tools are for small scale jobs, like light weeding, cultivating in rock gardens, raised beds and containers, and dividing small bulbs and plants.Always choose the best quality you can afford, making sure the garden tools feel comfortable to hold.
Hand forks have either wide and flat, or narrow round prongs.The flat prongs are more suited to weeding since the weeds are more easily trapped and held between them.The round narrow prongs are better for cultivating as they pass freely through the earth.A single flat pronged hand fork will be adequate for most gardeners.
Garden Tools Hoes
Hoes are used for weeding around plants and cultivating topsoil.There are several types, the popular "Dutch" hoe is used like a sharp bladed spoon to skim along the surface of the soil, loosening weeds which may then be sliced through.Turned so that the blade is at right angles to the ground, it may also be used to break up and aerate topsoil.
The small sharp head of the hoe is useful for making seed drills and marking out lines."Swan neck", or "draw" hoes, used in a chopping motion for weeding, are less commonly used.Other specialised hoes include "onion" and "triangular" hoes.

Loppers Tree Pruners Pruning Saws
Cutting branches and stems thicker than about 1cm (1/2in) quickly damages secateurs and shears, and is dealt with most effectively by specialist tools.Loppers (long handled prunners) are essentially secateurs with additional leverage and reach, making it easy to cut stems up to about 2.5cm (1 in) thick and branches that are difficult to reach.Loppers should be well balanced so that you can use them comfortably at full stretch overhead.
Tree pruners also cut branches upto 2.5cm (1in) thick.The cutting device operated by a lever or cord is housed at the end of a long pole, sometimes an extending or telescopic one.For branches more than 2.5cm (1in) thick use a pruning saw.A general purpose pruning saw will be sufficient for most needs.Its small blade usually no more than 46cm (18in) long, means that it may be used even in confined spaces.
A grecian saw has a curved blade that cuts on the pull stroke only, particularly useful for pruning in a tight area.A small folding pruning saw is ideal for those with limited storage space and pruning needs.However it is not as strong and effective as a bow saw, which will cut through even thick branches quickly.
All types should have heat treated hard point teeth, which are tougher and stay sharper for longer than regular saw blades.Although they still need regular sharpening to remain effective.
