Enthuse me with your favourite garden purchases!

My favourite garden tool is definitely my felco secateurs. Worth every penny.

I want to browse the garden websites and see if I can add to my garden shed in preparation for the season ahead!

Goldleaf gardening gloves - worth every penny

Do you have a specific type? I do have some for roses, but day to day I like something thinner.

Fond of my trench spade.

I love my hori hori knife. So useful for many jobs

@Curver I have the soft touch for normal use and tough touch gauntlets for roses/brambles etc

Just thought of another - I love my Castor Copper trowel

Totally agree @RuudGullitOnAShed . I’ve had mine years. Definitely my best garden purchase.

Not seen that trowel before, might have to invest. I did ponder buying some Kent and Stowe gloves today, but then exercised some self control.

Came here specifically to rave about my implementations copper tools. I have quite the collection now and they are wonderful. And if you lose them in the compost for a year or so, or run over them with a heavy lawnmower, you can send them back and they put a new handle on them.

That said my Niwaki mini shears are excellent (prefer Felco secateurs though)

What I really could do with is tips on keeping a pruning saw sharp. Or your favourite pruning saws? I think my mate rates his silky saw.

I have a folding pruning saw of unknown brand which I bought years ago. It's stayed sharp through various jobs at all sorts of peculiar angles.

I wish I knew what make it was, because it's been so good (and it wasn't expensive).

Why is the copper trowel so good? Given it's £47.
