Gardening Tools, Beyond the Hoe: What do you really need to garden?

By

As the owner of the world’s largest hoe collection—no one has disputed my claim—I’ve never met a garden tool I didn’t want to try out.  I’ll bring some of my favorites to share and we’ll also talk about some tools that aren’t worth the money.  Caution: You’ll covet some of my tools and I can’t guarantee you can even find some of them any more.  But some are available still today.
