Wish I'd seen this video before I bought the edger. Was really looking forward to getting it as struggled to find an edger with a decent length handle. Ended up bending on the first job I used it on, complete waste of money.

You’ve been the inspiration for our van build. It’s worked out well so far. No trailer-no unloading anything and it’s a great place for a nap. 😂

Thanks for the tipoff on the leaf grabber. It never occurred to me that design existed and it looks a lot better than traditional plastic hands. I only had 1 plastic hand following a divorce and was about to order another pair. Now I've ordered your ones which seemed good value too.

I get these tools make sense for mobile gardeners like yourself to fit everything neatly in a van but for a home user with plenty of garage space there is almost always a better tool available for less money even after paying for extra handles. Might take more space but there's less faffing around changing attachments. The one tool that I have found them to be a category leader is on scarifying moss removal in particular their rake with wheels. I haven't seen anything better for manual thatch removal and it gives me a better finish than the electric lawn rake that I had been using. I've assessed the whole range and can't see me needing anything else from Wolf Garten. Still if I can only find 1 really useful tool from each manufacturer then that's a great set of tools.

Lovely Tidy Van. I'm Mr Tidy and my van has been a mess for the past 20 years. Get your self a trailer so you can remove green waste. Mercedes Sprinter or Vw Crafter MWB is best van. You can also make loads of money moving houses in winter. 1000 a day. Best of luck.

I've invested quite heavily into the Ego stuff. Been about 7 months now and I've sold a fair bit of my petrol stuff. I've still got my old faithful Honda IZY and husqvarna brushcutter for the bigger jobs where I need power and runtime. The battery stuff is such a joy to use though... A few more years and I think it'll be very common for most gardeners. I do like the Stihl and husqvarna battery stuff but I think it's really overpriced and Ego have much better battery technology in my opinion.

That large rake right after the leafrake is NOT designed for heavy work like moving gravel or clay soils. It is designed to level and flatten the ground and topsoil before seeding or sodding grass. First use the points to move the topsoil, flip and use the back to level. It wil than collect any stones or debris. Rinse repeat till level and flat. 9/10. Also the gardenfork( LU-GM )is the most versatile garden tool I ever owned. It digs, rakes, shovels debris and piles of cuttings and branches, perfect potato pitch fork, extremely helpful when transplanting decorative grasses, planst and veggies, loosens caked in gravel and soil like nothing else, makes neat small furrows to seed herbs and seedling and on and on.. Be sure to get the D-handle. 10/10
@Grassrootspodcast2 жыл бұрын
That’s a bow rake designed for moving soil and clay etc not a landscaping rake for tilling. They do one of those in the range which I’m very tempted to buy. I’ll have a look out for d handle I have seen mixed reviews on them but might be worth trying. Thanks

Well done. Great to see industry thinking being used in organising your van and work practice. Keep it up. Clients in my experience like to see a well organised van with equipment maintained and looked after. It shows you care.
