RANGE REVIEW: HAND & POWER TOOLS
MULTI-CHANGE MINI RANGE FROM WOLF-GARTEN
With some kinds of garden work, small tools are more practical than large standard tools. With these multi-change tools available in mini-format from Wolf-Garten, you can look after those small favourite places in your garden without taking up too much space.
T
he Mini Cultivator features three lance shaped prongs to break up and loosen medium soils, allowing for better
nutrient and water distribution when cultivating plants. The 7cm tool head width, combined with the ergonomically designed 15cm long handle, makes it ideal for working between growing crops or plants in beds, borders, and containers. The Small Cultiweeder has all the benefits of the multi-change Cultivator, but with the additional advantage of a weeding blade on the rear side. The sharp weeding blade on the reverse allows you to cut through weeds fast along with the three lanced shaped prongs. The backwards facing angle of the prongs allow them to glide through the soil with minimal effort, and the 7cm width of this tool makes it perfect for use in closely planted beds, borders, and containers. The
Fan Rake is ideal for
sweeping up debris and loosening soil in confined areas. The tines
are made from flexible spring steel which designed not to bend in use and will move through the soil and over stones with ease. The 11cm width of this rake, combined with the ergonomically designed 15cm long handle, makes it ideal
for
use in planted beds, borders, and containers.
The Small Crumbler makes light work of breaking up heavy soil, loosening it to allow for optimal plant growth. The downward facing prongs have sharp tips that break through hard ground. The 7cm width of the tool head, combined with the ergonomically designed 15cm long handle, makes it ideal for use in gardens.
This Small Rake has fine curved teeth which glide through soil and allow for easy weeding and aerating. In addition, it can also be used for clearing flowerbeds of any leaves and other garden debris. The 15cm long handle combined with the 8cm width of this rake, provides ideal for use in closely planted beds, containers, and borders. The Mini Hoe features a broad,
sharp angled blade which can be used for weeding or drawing out seed drills. On the reverse side, there are three sharp prongs to help break up heavy soil. The working head width of 7cm, combined with the designed 15cm long handle, makes this 2-in-1 tool ideal for working in closely with smaller garden tasks. This
tool is
thanks to its three-fold sealing. The recommended retail prices of all these new tools is £17.99.
