Recommended Tools

If you want to work efficiently in the garden, you need the right tool for the job. Over the years I have been through the cycle of buying cheap tools, then replacing them when they break. It's frustrating and a waste of money and resources. With this in mind I haven't made any low-end recommendations, just kit I hope will last you ages! For each tool I've made two picks:

• A reliable, affordable pick to get started with confidence
• A lifetime-quality upgrade that’s worth the investment if you can stretch to it
