Hello there,
I'm hoping someone here has some good advice on particular bits of kit that will be good to use with children: I am helping to kit out a (childcare) nursery so that we can do some food-growing.
We're starting with absolutely nothing, though we have a reasonable pool of people to borrow from, so don't need to (for e.g.) own our own wheelbarrow. We also can't store huge amounts of kit.
My list so far is
(for children)
Hand forks
Hand trowels
Watering cans
(for adults - again, we can probably borrow some of this)
Fork
Spade
Rake
Hose
Does anyone have any advice on other things we should get?
Also, what, specifically, would you recommend?
For example, on hand tools I'm dithering between Joseph Bentley metal tools and Fiskars plastic ones Has anyone any experience of either, or of alternatives?
Likewise, on hoses, do you think we'd be better off with a standard reel one, or one of the slinky-like ones like this?
Please advise!!
