Thanks, Lawrence for the comprehensive Gardening Guide and Farm & Garden
Hand Tool Sourcelist.
I wanted to give a pitch for my favorite garden tool--
*Kusakichi Brand #11 Pick Hoe
*A one-handed hoe with a flat hoe on one end and a pick on the other.
This hoe is useful for digging, planting and turning soil. http://www.hidatool.com/shop/shop.html
You'll note the writing on the tools: A Japanese friend translated it
as: The Village Blacksmith
Cheers,
