    As of today it is the hose. It delivers life saving moisture without me using a bucket.

    It appears we must rename this topic. "What are your most-used- garden Tools?"

    Like Eileen and 2ofus, I would be hard pressed to garden without my Kneeling bench. I use it as a kneeling pad while gardening. I would fall on my posterior when trying to rise, if not for the handles. Then I flip it over to sit on while sorting and washing the gleanings from the garden. I guess that is my most appreciated garden aide.
    Then, my little snippers which go with me everywhere and are used continually.
    My short handled shovel. My two-bladed hoe, which is pushed and pulled. My small trowel? Is a hand spade called a trowel ?
    My little blue bucket with a rope handle, given me by a neighbor. I use it to gather veggies, unless the wheelbarrow is required.

    I would say my hula hoe. I love it. But one of my other favorite garden tools is my sprayer filled with vinegar to get rid of all those pesky weeds and for edging my flower gardens. Looks a little sad as the grass or weeds are dying around the edge of my flower beds. But it sure is easier that keeping all the grass and weeds from growing into my beds. After it all dies back it looks great.

    I'm glad you brought up using vinegar to get rid of weeds. I had forgotten it but that's just what I need to keep the grass and weeds out of the bricks edging my beds. Thanks!

    My favorite tool is my Bumble Bee truck. It holds all my garden tools, buckets and plants. It hold lots of weeds and gets me around all my gardens so nicely. It's one of the best things my hubby ever bought me.

    All your garden tools sound impossible to part with.
