Default My Newest "Favorite" Garden Tool

Radius Brand Tools GroundHog Rake. Open the link below and click on the smiling ground hog, sporting the circular shaped rake as it's smile. Now is that tongue-in-cheek or what. Who hasn't at one time or another wanted to plant a rake smack in the middle of a ground hogs mouth.

My garden beds have a plethora of nooks and crannies that leaves can amazingly hold conventions in, and low growing evergreens whose crowns fill with leaves. This rake is suburb at cleaning out leaves from both. It's lightweight and being an enclosed circle catches and holds what it raked without inflicting damage to stems. If you plan one new garden tool addition this season take a look at this rake.

Hopefully the "pond shark" and "gator grabber" will be in stores this spring.
