A garden hose, hosepipe, or simply hose is a flexible tube used to

convey water. There are a number of common attachments available for the
end of the hose, such as sprayers and sprinklers (which are used to
concentrate water at one point or to spread it over a large area). Hoses are

usually attached to a hose spigot or tap.


Grass hooks are an invaluable tool for careful vegetation removal where there is insufficient space to use a scythe or extra precision
is required. This example is modeled after the construction of European tensioned sickle blades, and is of a beautifully light build with
an offset at the base of the blade to provide clearance for the knuckles during use. We recommend this model when doing trimming
up against foundations, wire fences, or other similar obstacles as the angle of presentation of the fine point does a great job slipping
behind the vegetation that needs to be cut.

Hedge shears are often used incorrectly, and I hesitate to recommend


them since they can often do more harm than good. But if you have
a formal hedge or topiary that requires close shearing, they are indeed a
necessary tool. Hedge shears resemble giant scissors and make large, wide
cuts.

small amounts of viscous or particulate material. Common varieties include
the masonry trowel, garden trowel, and float trowel.

A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just


one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using
two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow
by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and
"barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "bearwe" which
was a device used for carrying loads.

The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the operator,
so enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible were the
weight carried entirely by the operator. As such it is a second-class lever. Traditional Chinese
wheelbarrows, however, had a central wheel supporting the whole load. Use of wheelbarrows is
common in the construction industry and in gardening. Typical capacity is approximately 100 litres
(3.53 cubic feet) of material.

A two-wheel type is more stable on level ground, while the almost universal one-wheel type has
better maneuverability in small spaces, on planks, in water, or when tilted ground would throw the
load off balance. The use of one wheel also permits greater control of the deposition of the load upon
emptying.

A sprinkler is a device used to spray water. Sprinklers


are used to water plants or grass, or
to put out fires in buildings.

A pitchfork is an agricultural tool with a long handle and tynes used to lift and
