IN THE GARDEN
Tools for toppies (and gogos)
F
or elderly gardeners and
those who simply can't
bend their backs
Multifire & Power of Springs
has developed a set of four
quality hand gardening tools
with long handles.
The range comprises three
designs of double-sided
... and anyone, for that matter,
who can!t bend to garden
hoe/skoffel and a small, sturdy
rake.
Made out of 5mm mild steel
fully galvanised after fabrication, the heads are bolted
(rather than nailed) to a 1,2m
handle.
The tools are specially useful
in working soil around small
plants, for example in flower
beds and vegetable patches,
and the various sizes and
shapes of implement can be
used for loosening hard soil
and weed removal, much as
one would with a conventional hoe, breaking up crusty
surface soil with
the pointed hoe
attachments,
seed furrow
preparation with
the narrow hoe
and smoothing
and levelling
with the rake
which is
narrower than a
conventional
rake and
therefore more
suited to work
within the
confines of a
planted flower bed.
The tools can be purchased
individually for R92 VAT
included, or for R340 VAT
included for the set.
They will make an excellent
Christmas present for the avid
elderly gardener or anybody
who wishes to avoid back
pain.
Multifire welcomes trade
enquiries for its tools.
