My 5 Favourite Tools in the Garden

There are so many different types of tools that can be useful when growing vegetables, and over the years a few have become my favourite.

You know what I love about this video? It’s exactly the opposite of every other “top 5 garden tools” video in the sense that you aren’t trying to flog off some company’s useless product to your audience. This is why I love your videos and I honestly don’t know how you haven’t got more subscribers 🙏

A lot of content out there seems to focus on a black and white, lack of grey area when it comes to its recommendations.
Complexity and simplicity, or ancient and ultra modern always presented as if at odds.
So I quite enjoyed that your list didn't have this bias and you stayed the obvious, truthful and most used items.

It’s nice to see an honest look at truly useful tools, not just promotion of products. My garden fork is probably my favourite garden tool.

A thing that I really appreciate is that you post when you have something to post. It never feels like you are having to desperately think of something to talk about this week. Always something of interest whether it's relevant to what I'm doing or not.
Secondly, I appreciate your honesty. Whether something fails because of a mistake or because you didn't have time, you always say. Just to let you know someone out here appreciates your approach.
Now if you'll allow me a question: I'd love to use my phone in the garden, but how do you not end up with it falling into your water butt, or breaking the cover when you crouch down?

It never ceases to amaze me how much great info I can get from your videos.
I also had a "duh" moment when I saw you chopping brassica stalks with your spade. Why did that never occur to me??? Thank you. You are a great help

[vonrufensiean]

What an honest way to review your tools. Good luck while using them

[maxsmith]

Huh, I’ve never even considered sharpening my spade.. I feel silly, thanks for the tip!

Another great video and it didn't feel like I was being sold something or constantly told about the links below to go and buy the tools. Definitely my favorite garden/farm channel. If my garden wasn't raised/no dig beds I would be out there sharpening my square shovel right now. Glad I didn't have a sharpened shovel when I was planting my peach tree. Found some unmarked power lines going from my house to back building. Lucky I didn't break it and get the shock of a lifetime.

It's always great to watch your videos Bruce.
You are so passionate about what you do.

I got a pitchfork last year and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. I've got solid clay and the fork breaks it up really well.

Thanks for keeping things simple and accessible. Other favourite tool videos are overwhelming but I can invest in a couple simple tools to get started. Your channel is amazing!

[zazugee]

the tools are the things you're gonna spend the most time with
love your tools and they will help you back

[CarbonConscious]

Your videos are really great, loads of valuable information in a relatively short format without any beating around the bush and all of it delivered in such a clear and calm way.

[Galluchh]

I almost like these videos more than the result-type videos. maybe another top 5 soon? keep up the good work!

[BriansGreenGarden]

Nice one! My favourite has to be the Fork for the camera. I'm going to copy you. Thanks!

[donnabrooks]

Hi. First time watching one of your videos. Excellent content. I never thought of the smart phone to take picture records of the different crops. Brilliant. Going to incorporate that into my gardening journaling. Thanks so much for the information.

Myltumesc mult pentru un video complet, generos, masat in doar 10'.M-am abonat.

Your wire weeder was something recommended to me to make as well, except you can bang the end of the shank of the tool into the end of a broomstick, and then you can just wander around that way without having to bend down.

[mossconfig]

I'd be interested in learning about your workflow.

[johncourtneidge]

Again, Exceptional!

Thank-you!

Here in West Sussex, I need to find a source of supply of long handles, such as on your spade, shovel and fork.

All in good time.

I very much admire your energy and application. And yes, that earlier morale point! Essential and so hard!
