Narrow trowel – well designed for planting seedlings, digging hold and weeding. With a narrow blade and pointed end you can target weeds precisely.

Hori-Hori – this Japanese gardening knife is a sturdy multi-purpose tool with a serrated cutting edge on one side. The 20cm-long blade is usually marked with measurements, which can be handy when planting bulbs etc. Most are made from rust-proof stainless-steel, so they last for decades but can cost more than other tools. The narrow blade allows you to weed between other plants without disturbing them.

Long-handled tools are useful for those who want to avoid bending or kneeling.

Long-handled hoe – great for removing weeds with shallow roots. The broad blade slides under weeds easily, especially in tilled soil and pathways. Forked end can be used to loosen soil.

Long-handled fork - For hard-to-reach areas in borders, a three-pronged fork on a long handle is excellent.

This is a segment from Gardening Australia Season 36, Episode 12 titled "Autumn: Tropical Wonderland & Easy Lawn Care".
