I Couldn’t do Without egg boxes

It may sound daft, but at this time of year I can’t do without egg boxes.  I find them the perfect container for chitting seed potatoes.

I Couldn’t do Without – In January

31st January, 2010 - 2:31pm

With the gardening year getting under way, I couldn’t do without my Cobrahead. It is a terrific hand tool that is both a precision weeder and a cultivator that gets into corners a hoe cannot reach.  Its other name – the steel fingernail - captures perfectly its versatility.  It’s available from www.plantsreunited.com for  £17.90.

I Couldn’t do Without A Shovel

Like the rest of the country we have been clearing snow off pathways.  Ours was a second-hand purchase from a local junk shop and although it looks pretty decrepit it does the job fine.

I Couldn’t do Without: Late November 2009

With November’s gales stripping the leaves from the trees my Grab-o-Saurus  is doing overtime.  It makes picking up piles of leaves a doddle, especially as no bending is involved. Visit Grab-o-Saurus by clicking the link.
