For rocky soil he suggests a long handled, flat bladed push type hoe. Get a rake that fits your strength and energy.

Bill Varga, horticulturist with Utah State University, says you may be wise to sleuth out s pedal deals on purchases of garden tools for use in your garden when spring arrives. You can have more fun gardening when you pursue it with the proper, good quality tools. Consider these implements as extensions of the body for reaching, pushing, pulling, shaping or cutting, Varga said. He places the spade at the top of his list of garden tools to own. He prefers the flat rectangular shaped blade and short handled spade over the many available digging implements. He says you can use it to turn the garden soil, edge lawns, lift turf, or weed and loosen soil in and around flowers and shrubs. Next to the spade Varga considers a good hand trowel made of stainless steel as being most useful in the home garden. Choose one that fits your grip. Use it to weed, thin, or transplant new starts. Add a digging fork as a useful companion to the spade. Varga says it is indispensable for turning heavy clay type soil or rocky soil He PROGRESSING-W- ork on what will be the new Pharmacy is progressing WORK devoted to questions from the audience.
