    I saw Bunny Guinness using a mini, cordless chainsaw and was intrigued. I have a small cordless garden saw whih is great. I don't really need anything larger. But still, it's interesting.

    I've reported you @lora47606ZB9YQwfy as you insist on spamming, and you also have a blatant advert on your profile. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I was thinking a small cordless pruning saw might be nice🤔

    @b3 my pruning saw is so blunt that if it wasn't curved I would have to check I was using the right side! You made me have another look. 😍

    I've been using one of these recently. https://www.homebase.co.uk/qlt-6-pointing-trowel/12888899.html
    It came about the place for another reason entirely but has become very useful for transplanting seedlings, poking out moss, flicking slugs...

    Two of my best garden tools are a small Honda petrol cultivator and a Mattock this being brilliant for taking out shallow trenches for peas beans etc.
    Mattocks are also great for moving big plants and shrubs. It’s much easier to start digging around the root ball with one of these than with a spade. You need the spade eventually, but they do a great job of easily breaking up the soil.
    Carmarthenshire (mild, wet, windy). Loam over shale, very slightly sloping, so free draining. Mildly acidic or neutral.

    A short onion hoe … great for tackling weeds in raised beds and on embankments. 
    Similar idea to my Chinese hoe. Really useful for quickly destroying lots of little weeds in a spot where you can’t use a big hoe safely.

  • Okay, so it's not a huge tool, but Fiskars 14inch garden knife is something I couldn't do without now.
