If I had to pick just one tool to bring to gardening jobs, it would be the splendid traditional Japanese handpick. It weeds, rakes, and digs small planting holes, is easy on the body, sturdy and long-lasting.
One family of landscapers we know brings each new family member hoping to work in the landscaping field to our office to buy their own handpick.
Blade length: 3.5″ for pick side and 4.75″ for flat blade side.
