Hats too. Some of them have to go and go they will at this weekend's Riverton-wide Garage Sale!
Be in early to get the bargains! I'm selling 90% of my garden tools, collected over the years and reluctantly parted-with, this Saturday, at our sale-site on Longwood Road - look out for the bright and cheerful flags!

Cruel!
Asset sales!
If you are selling 90% of your tools what are you keeping?
What do you consider essential, pictures would be good
My wife is involved in a Plunket initiative helping young mothers and wondered about essential garden tools
Mine would be an Irish shovel, hoe, rake and a fork but I could manage with just a hoe
Apologies, wildcrafty - see anything you really like?
It's what I campaigned on, AC, but if you can organise a referendum and it tells me, 'don't sell', I'll keep them all.
My tool of choice now, is a light, sharp, made-from-old-time-steel, wooden handled spade (the ORB as featured several posts ago). With that, most things can be done. It's a skimmer, rather than a digger and skimming's the New Way. I've kept a good old torpedo hoe and a Niwashi shark as well, I've retained one fork, sharp-tined and light-ish. No more swinging on heavy tools for me.
I have to admit to squirrelling-away several sickles, not because I've a use for them now (I don't really) but because of my druidic leanings. It's a romantic notion, but I've used them for so long now, they feel like an extention to my arm. However, my slashing days are practically over as a new approach to the vegatative world has presented itself and I'm going that way with a passion. Over-abundance is in here, as is soil integrity and a non-military approach to managing/living with my garden friends :-) The weapons have become largely redundant.
just to lower the tone RG I have just become the proud owner of a 50cc brushcutter that flattens all before it in a manner that would make the grim reaper himself envious
while it may be quite an un-RG type of weapon I am afraid the manual methods were losing the battle wtih the gorse and broom wheras once dealt to with the turbo-scythe the stump can be left to the mongrel sheep to contend with
The cane is tempting (although I have far too much already), but really it was the garden tool sale that got me.
"as a new approach to the vegatative world has presented itself"
Do tell!
