This way handles will remain their looks, won’t dry out and dirt will not stick to the wood. Even the stainless steel parts can be treated with linseed oil, that way dirt will also not stick to the blade of a spade, rakes or hand tools. How to maintain your tools in 4 steps: STEP 1: Clean them First remove pieces of dirt and rust with a hard brush (therefore we especially created our beautiful SNEEBOER brush from brass). This is important to stop the spreading of any diseases. When you have steel tools  you can also treat the larger blades with rough sandpaper. This is not necessary for stainless steel tools. STEP 2: Sharpen A sharp spade is a pleasure to work with. Use decent tool sharpeners. Naturally we find our own developed tool sharpener very suitable for this. Only sharpen the sloping cutting edge and keep the angle of the sloping part. Tip: Never sharpen our tools with electric sharpeners. High temperatures will develop which are changing the quality of the material. STEP 3: Oil Smear the blade and wooden handles with a thin layer of cooked linseed oil. Then store the cloth with linseed oil away in an air-tight can to prevent the cloth from catching fire. STEP 4: Storage This is the biggest challenge for most gardeners. But remember, the better you take care of your tools the longer they will last. Keep tools with wooden handles dry after using them, out of the sun and be careful with extreme temperatures and variations of humidity. Keep out of the reach of children. It is an honour to make worlds best garden tools for you and it is our wish that you enjoy them for a long long time. "Good Garden Tools are like best friends- not easy to find, but if you have them they will last a lifetime." --- ### My account URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/my-account --- ### Newsletter URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/newsletter Would you like to stay in touch and receive information about our Dutch Garden Tools? --- ### Privacy Policy URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/privacy-policy Who we are Our website address is: https://restoration.fuelthemes.net What personal data we collect and why we collect it Comments When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

This nomination is a special recognition of our commitment to sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, and social responsibility. As a family business that has been handcrafting garden tools in the Netherlands since 1913, it’s a true milestone – one that we’re excited to share with our customers.RHS Chelsea Flower Show: a global stageThe RHS Chelsea Flower Show, organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, is the world’s most prestigious event for garden design, innovation, and sustainable solutions in the green sector. Held annually at the Royal Hospital Gardens in London, the event attracts tens of thousands of visitors – from gardening professionals and royalty to journalists and plant enthusiasts. A nomination at Chelsea is the gardening world’s equivalent of an Oscar: the highest level of recognition in our industry.The “Sustainable Business of the Year” award honours companies that treat sustainability not as a marketing ploy, but as a core value. Businesses that prove they not only make beautiful products, but also take responsibility for people, the environment, and society.Why Sneeboer is among the top threeOur nomination is the result of a series of structural and innovative steps we’ve taken to make our production process more sustainable. Here are some of the key actions we’ve implemented:Induction heating: We’ve transitioned our entire production process from traditional coal-fired forges to induction heating. This saves us 16,000 kilos of CO2 emissions per year and makes our process cleaner and safer.Solar energy: Since 2022, our company has largely been powered by solar energy. With an output of around 100,000 kWh annually, we generate more electricity than we consume. The surplus is fed back into the grid.Laser welding: We’re the first in the Netherlands to use laser welding technology in the manufacture of garden tools. This innovation enables precise, durable, and energy-efficient connections between tool components.Tools for life: Rather than disposable tools that only last a season, we design and forge tools that last for generations. Every tool is hand-forged, tested, and comes with a 50-year warranty.Social responsibility: We actively partner with organisations that support people distanced from the labour market. We also sponsor local environmental projects, educational initiatives, and sports clubs.Transparency: Via our sustainability page, visitors can follow our live solar energy production – a unique way of showing our impact in real time.A family business with a future visionWhat sets Sneeboer apart from other tool manufacturers is our combination of traditional craftsmanship and forward-thinking technology. Our products are still handmade in our workshop in Bovenkarspel, using techniques that have been passed down for over a century. At the same time, we continue to invest in innovation, digitalisation, and sustainable development. For us, this is not a contradiction – it’s our strength.We see sustainability not as a project, but as a way of working. It’s present in the decisions we make every day – from material sourcing and employment policies to energy management and packaging. Our goal? A future in which good tools not only perform well, but also do good – for the world in which they’re used.What this nomination means to usBeing selected as a finalist for the RHS Chelsea Sustainable Business of the Year Award means the world to our team. It’s a recognition of the hard work, innovations, and shared values that bind us together as a company. But it’s also encouragement – proof that small, independent family businesses can make a difference, both locally and globally.As one of the three finalists, we’ll be travelling to London in late May for the official award ceremony. The competition is fierce, but we believe that our story – one of craft, innovation, and responsibility – is strong enough to stand out.How you can support usWe invite you to follow us on Instagram or Facebook. There we’ll keep you up to date on our latest developments – and of course, the Chelsea Flower Show 2025.Would you like to support us?

Wish us luck! --- ### Garden Tool Maintenance URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/garden-tool-maintenance Date: 2024-11-21 Maintaining your garden tools extends their lifespan and ensures optimal gardening performance. Autumn and the first frost provide the perfect moment to prepare your tools for winter. Proper maintenance keeps your tools strong, sharp, and functional, so you’re ready to go in spring. At Sneeboer, we understand how important high-quality garden tools are for every gardener. That’s why we offer a special maintenance kit that allows you to thoroughly maintain and prepare each tool for the next season.Why is Garden Tool Maintenance Essential?Your garden tools endure a lot: heavy usage, muddy soil, and changing weather conditions. Without regular maintenance, rust can damage the tools, and dirt and wear reduce effectiveness quickly. A rusty shovel or blunt pruning shears don’t just work less efficiently—they can also damage your plants and increase the risk of injury. Regular maintenance in autumn and winter keeps your tools in top condition for many years. A small investment of time makes gardening much easier during the season. Step-by-Step: Garden Tool MaintenanceTo get you started, we’ve put together a four-step plan for maintaining your garden tools. Each step helps protect your tools from rust, keeps them sharp, and ensures they’re ready for use in the new season.Thorough CleaningAfter each use, it’s wise to remove soil, plant sap, and other debris from your tools. For a deep clean, use water, a stiff brush, and, if necessary, a wire brush. Drying the tools thoroughly after cleaning prevents rust formation. This step prevents dirt build-up and ensures longer-lasting tools.It may seem minor, but regularly cleaning your tools significantly extends their lifespan. Make it a habit to remove mud and soil after each gardening task. This keeps your tools neat and ready for use.SharpeningA sharp tool works faster and more efficiently, avoids plant damage, and saves you effort. Use a sharpening stone or file to sharpen the cutting edges of shears, shovels, and other tools. Maintain a steady angle while sharpening to ensure an even edge. Take your time with this step—you’ll notice the difference immediately in spring.Sharpening requires some precision. If you find it hard to maintain the right angle, use a sharpening guide or practice with an old tool. Once you master the technique, sharpening becomes a breeze.OilingAfter cleaning and sharpening, it’s time to oil the metal parts to protect them from rust. Vegetable oil works well, but you could also choose a special linseed oil, like the boiled linseed oil from the Sneeboer maintenance kit. This oil keeps the surface smooth and rust-free, allowing your tools to function smoothly.Don’t forget the wooden parts of your tools. Applying linseed oil to the handles prevents drying and splitting, increasing their durability. This treatment not only keeps your tools functional but also gives them a polished look.StorageProper storage plays a crucial role in tool maintenance. Store tools in a dry, well-ventilated space, like a shed or garden house. Hanging your tools prevents contact with damp ground, which can cause rust.Create an organized storage space where each tool has its own place. This helps you keep an overview and prevents damage from stacking or improper storage. Consider installing wall hooks or using a tool rack. This saves space and keeps everything within reach. Tool Sharpener $44,00 Add to cart Maintenance Bottle with Linseed oil $19,00 Add to cart Hand brush with fine grip $24,00 Add to cart The Sneeboer Maintenance Kit: Complete Care for Every Garden ToolAt Sneeboer, we’ve created a special maintenance kit to make garden tool maintenance as easy as possible. This kit includes everything you need: a wire brush for removing dirt, a sharpening stone for sharp edges, a bottle of boiled linseed oil, and a polishing cloth for a gleaming finish. With the Sneeboer maintenance kit, you have all the essentials for thorough tool maintenance.The kit is designed for both the seasoned gardener and the beginner hobbyist. The tools are easy to use and ensure that your garden tools stay in top shape. By investing a little time each year, you prevent the need to work with inadequate tools next season. Maintenance Kit $94,00 Add to cart Tips for Long-Lasting Garden ToolsProtect Sharp Edges in Storage: Ensure that sharp tools are covered to avoid accidents. A case or protective cap extends the life of cutting edges. Protect Against Extreme Temperatures: Both frost and intense heat can be damaging. Store your tools in a place where the temperature remains fairly constant. Check Screws and Bolts: Screws and bolts can loosen after heavy use. Tighten them regularly to keep your tools stable and safe. Use the Right Tool for the Job: Don’t use pruning shears as a saw; each tool is designed for a specific purpose. This prevents unnecessary damage to your tools.Start the Gardening Season with Clean, Sharp ToolsMaintaining your garden tools might take a bit of extra time, but it’s an investment that pays off. By focusing on maintenance now, you start the new season with tools that are ready for use: clean, sharp, and rust-free. Additionally, you significantly extend the life of your tools, which is exactly what Sneeboer stands for.Take advantage of the quiet winter period to give your tools a thorough maintenance session. This way, you’ll be ready to start your gardening projects in spring, with reliable and well-maintained tools. --- ### The Artisanal Plant Market in De Wierse URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/the-artisanal-plant-market-in-de-wierse Date: 2024-10-18 The Artisan Plant Market at De Wierse has now become a fixture among gardeners and green lovers.

This makes the market an inspiring place, where visitors will go home with new ideas that they can immediately apply in their own gardens.Sneeboer at the Artisanal Plant MarketLike last year, Sneeboer participated in this year’s Crafts Plant Market. It was a great opportunity for our company to showcase our garden tools to a wide audience and engage with passionate gardening enthusiasts. Sneeboer’s stand was a popular attraction, where visitors could see their well-known tools up close and even discover new prototypes.One of the highlights this year was the introduction of two new models of the compost shovel. Visitors were invited to give their opinion on which format they preferred: the larger model with more capacity or the smaller model that is more manageable and precise. This interactive approach provided valuable feedback, which Sneeboer used to further optimise their product. In the end, renowned gardening expert Hans Kramer, owner of Kwekerij De Hessenhof, was the deciding factor by casting his vote for the smaller model, with a suggestion for a minor tweak in the design. A platform for innovation and sustainabilityThe Artisan Plant Market is known for its focus on sustainability and craftsmanship. Many of the participating exhibitors are committed to eco-friendly products and methods. This fits well with the trend of more conscious gardening, focusing on ecology, biodiversity and the use of natural materials.

In this article, we explain why raking leaves not only improves the appearance of your garden but also protects your grass and plants from mould and pests. We also discuss how you can reuse the leaves as mulch or compost, and which rakes from Sneeboer are ideal for the task. By raking in time and using the right tools, you can keep your garden tidy while ensuring healthy soil and a fruitful growing season.Why Should You Rake Leaves on Time?Raking leaves is a chore that many gardeners might put off, but this can have negative consequences for your garden. When leaves remain on the lawn, they quickly start to clump together, especially after rain. This thick layer of leaves blocks sunlight and air circulation, preventing the grass underneath from breathing. The lack of light and air can lead to mould formation, yellow patches, and eventually the death of the grass.Additionally, wet leaves create the perfect breeding ground for fungi and diseases that can spread throughout your garden. In the spring, you might notice bare spots or even sick plants, simply because the leaves were not removed in time during autumn.Wet leaves can also become dangerous on your garden paths, as they are slippery and can cause falls. This makes leaf raking not only a matter of garden maintenance but also of safety.In addition to harming your lawn and posing a safety risk, fallen leaves provide an excellent hiding place for pests like slugs, insects, and rodents. These pests can overwinter in the thick layer of leaves and cause significant problems in your garden in the spring. By raking on time, you can prevent these unwanted guests from settling in your garden. SfeerWhat Can You Do with Fallen Leaves?Leaves that you rake from your lawn are not waste. On the contrary, they are a valuable source of nutrients for your garden. There are two excellent ways to reuse fallen leaves: as compost or as mulch.Composting LeavesLeaves are rich in carbon, an essential component of a well-balanced compost pile. By mixing the leaves with nitrogen-rich material such as grass clippings or kitchen waste, you can create compost that you can later use to improve your garden’s soil. Compost helps improve soil structure and moisture retention. It also promotes the growth of healthy plants by gradually releasing nutrients.Composting leaves requires patience, as it can take several months to a year for the leaves to break down completely. You can speed up the process by shredding the leaves first, for example by mowing over them. This helps the material decompose more quickly, so you can use the compost sooner.Using Leaves as MulchAnother way to make use of fallen leaves is by using them as mulch. Mulch is a protective layer of organic material that you apply to the soil. It helps keep the ground moist, reduces weed growth, and protects plant roots from extreme temperatures, both in summer and winter.The beauty of using leaves as mulch is that they gradually break down over time, releasing their nutrients into the soil. This creates fertile ground that stimulates plant growth. By spreading a thin layer of raked leaves around trees, shrubs, and in borders, you can make the most of this natural resource.The Right Time to Rake LeavesTiming is crucial when it comes to raking leaves. While it may be tempting to wait until all the leaves have fallen from the trees, it’s better to regularly rake small amounts of leaves rather than waiting until the lawn is completely covered. This prevents the grass from suffocating or mould from forming due to a build-up of wet leaves. Start raking as soon as the first leaves begin to fall, and repeat the process several times throughout the season.Which Sneeboer Rakes Help You with Leaf Raking?Sneeboer offers a range of high-quality leaf rakes specifically designed to make leaf raking as efficient and easy as possible. Each of these rakes has its own unique benefits, depending on the size and needs of your garden.1.

Hand Leaf Rake with 7 TinesFor finer work in smaller, hard-to-reach corners, there is the 7-tine hand leaf rake. This compact rake is perfect for raking leaves out of flower beds or between delicate plants. With its short handle and narrow tines, this rake offers maximum control and precision, allowing you to efficiently rake even in difficult-to-reach spots. Leaf Rake 7t $49,00 Add to cart Raking leaves on time is essential for maintaining a healthy garden. By removing leaves before they can damage your lawn or plants, you can prevent issues like mould, pests, and grass suffocation. Fallen leaves don’t need to be thrown away, as they are a valuable resource for compost and mulch, which will give your garden a healthy start in the spring.With the right leaf rake from Sneeboer, the job not only becomes easier but also more effective. Whether you have a large lawn or small borders, Sneeboer has a leaf rake that perfectly suits your needs. So, don’t wait too long – start raking in time to keep your garden in top condition. --- ### Why aerating your lawn is a smart investment for your garden (and yourself!) URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/why-aerating-your-lawn-is-a-smart-investment-for-your-garden-and-yourself Date: 2024-10-18 Your lawn needs more than just water and sunlight to look beautiful all year round. One of the most crucial but often overlooked tasks is aerating your grass. Aeration allows essential nutrients, water and oxygen to penetrate deeper into the soil, keeping your lawn healthier and more resilient. It prevents soil compaction, encourages root growth and protects against weeds and moss. With the right garden tools, such as Sneeboer’s lawn aerator, you can make this job easy and even fun. In this article, you will discover how this simple task will boost your garden and improve your own health at the same time.Seven reasons for aerating your lawn1. Improve root healthHealthy roots are the basis for a strong lawn. By aerating your grass, you puncture small holes in the soil, allowing oxygen, water and nutrients to penetrate deeper. This extra space stimulates roots to grow deeper and become stronger. Strong roots make your grass more resilient to drought, heavy use and other stress factors. If you notice that rainwater does not soak into the soil properly or if puddles remain on your lawn, aerate your grass. This improves water absorption, making your grass more vital and healthy.2. Optimise nutrient uptakeGrass needs nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to grow well. These nutrients usually come from fertilisers you spread on your lawn. If the soil becomes too compact, these fertilisers cannot penetrate to the roots, resulting in shallow roots and less healthy turf. Aerating your lawn gives the nutrients a chance to penetrate deeper, allowing your grass to take full advantage of each fertiliser application. This results in a faster-growing, deep-green lawn that is more resistant to disease and stress. 3. Prevent soil compactionSoil compaction is a major problem for lawns, especially in intensively used gardens. When the soil becomes too compact, air, water and nutrients find it harder to find their way to the roots, leading to a weak lawn. Bare patches and poor drainage often occur as a result of compacted soil. Regular aeration prevents this problem and gives the roots more room to grow. A well-aerated lawn recovers faster from damage and maintains its green, healthy appearance.4. Protect your lawn from moss and weedsA weak lawn provides an ideal environment for moss and weeds to grow. These unwanted plants take valuable nutrients away from your grass and create an uneven and unsightly lawn. By aerating your grass, you strengthen the roots and make it harder for moss and weeds to establish themselves. A strong and dense lawn leaves little room for these unwanted plants, keeping your grass looking full and healthy all year round.5. Stay active while caring for your gardenGardening not only contributes to a beautiful garden, but also to your own health. Aerating your lawn constitutes an excellent physical activity that helps you stay active. Sneeboer’s grass aerator makes this task even easier. As you walk across your grass, you aerate the soil with every step you take. This ergonomic tool reduces effort and provides comfort even if you consider it a tough job. This way, you not only work on a healthy lawn, but also keep yourself moving.6. The right timing for lawn aerationThe best time to aerate your grass is in autumn or early spring. During autumn, your lawn often suffers from drought or intensive use during the summer months. By aerating in autumn, you give your grass a chance to absorb water and nutrients before winter sets in. This strengthens the grass so that it will survive the winter well. In spring, aerate your lawn to promote the growth of new grass and give your lawn a good start for the growing season. 7. Choose between manual and mechanical aerationThere are different methods of aerating your lawn. For smaller gardens, a manual lawn aerator, such as the one from Sneeboer, is ideal. With this, you poke small holes in the soil as you walk across the lawn, giving complete control over the process. For larger lawns, you might prefer an electric or petrol-powered aerator, which makes larger holes and works faster. Whichever method you choose, regular aeration ensures a healthy and vibrant lawn.Invest in your garden and yourselfLawn aeration offers a simple and effective way to keep your grass strong and healthy. It strengthens the roots, improves nutrient absorption and protects against moss and weeds. In addition, you prevent soil compaction, which is essential for the even growth of your turf. While caring for your lawn, you also enjoy the physical benefits that gardening offers.Want to maintain your lawn in the best possible way? Try the lawn aerator from Sneeboer. This durable and user-friendly tool makes aerating simple and effective. Give your lawn and yourself the care they deserve!

As the leaves begin to fall and the days grow shorter, this is the perfect time to start planting flower bulbs. Properly and timely planting of bulbs is essential for a vibrant and colorful garden in spring. This article not only highlights the importance of planting bulbs at the right time but also offers practical tips and advice to help you get the most out of your gardening season. Why Plant Bulbs Now? Understanding the Process Flower bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths need cold temperatures to bloom. This process is called *vernalization*. During this period of cold and moisture, the bulbs develop the hormones needed to grow and flower in spring. If the bulbs aren’t exposed to enough cold, this can result in weak or absent blooms. The Best Time to Plant Flower Bulbs The ideal time to plant flower bulbs is between September and November. During these months, the ground is still warm enough for root development, while the air is cooling down, which triggers the vernalization process. By planting your bulbs early, you give them the chance to establish a strong root system before winter sets in. This root system is crucial for healthy growth in the spring. If you plant too late in the season, such as in December or later, you risk the bulbs not having enough time to root before the ground freezes. This can result in weaker plants or, in some cases, no blooms at all. That’s why it’s important to start planting your bulbs on time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRZtgea07T8 How to Choose the Right Flower Bulbs Not all bulbs are the same, and choosing the right ones is just as important as planting them on time. Here are a few key factors to consider when selecting your bulbs: Quality of the Bulbs: Always choose firm, healthy bulbs with no mold or damage. Soft or wrinkled bulbs are often a sign of poor quality and may not bloom well. Type of Bulbs: Think about the composition of your garden. Do you want early blooms or a mix of different flowering times? Tulips and daffodils, for example, bloom later in spring, while crocuses are often the first to appear. Bloom Height and Color: Consider the height of the flowers in combination with the other plants in your garden. A balanced mix of different heights and colors can create an impressive visual effect. Planting Depth and Spacing: Pay attention to the planting depth and spacing between the bulbs. In general, the larger the bulb, the deeper it should be planted. Follow the instructions on the packaging to create the best conditions for growth. Gardening Tools of Planting Flower Bulbs: Essential for Success Planting bulbs can be a labor-intensive task, especially if you are planting a large number of them. The right gardening tools can make a world of difference and ensure that the job is done quickly and efficiently. At Sneeboer, we offer a range of specially designed tools to make bulb planting as easy as possible. 1. Long-Handled Bulb Planter The long-handled bulb planter is perfect for planting bulbs without having to bend over. This ergonomically designed tool allows you to work in a comfortable position, which is especially useful if you have a lot of bulbs to plant. The sharp cutting edge of the bulb planter makes it easy to cut through different types of soil, while the conical shape creates the perfect planting hole. Het scherpe snijvlak van de bollenplanter maakt het eenvoudig om door verschillende soorten grond te snijden, terwijl de conische vorm zorgt voor een perfect gevormd plantgat. 2. Short-Handled Bulb Planter For smaller gardens or planting flower bulbs in pots, the short-handled bulb planter is an excellent choice. This compact tool offers the same functionality as the longer version but is easier to maneuver in tight spaces. The sturdy ashwood handle ensures that the tool fits comfortably in your hand, allowing you to work precisely, even in the smallest corners of your garden. 3. Bulb and Potato Planter This versatile tool is perfect not only for planting flower bulbs but also for planting potatoes. The wide, scoop-like shape of this tool allows you to quickly create larger holes, which is ideal for bigger bulbs or planting several bulbs at once. 4. Dibber The dibber is a simple yet effective gardening tool for making holes in the ground. It’s especially useful for planting small bulbs or working in heavier soil types. The narrow tip makes precise holes in the ground, allowing you to plant bulbs at the exact right depth. Quality and Durability: The Sneeboer Standard At Sneeboer, we place great value on quality and durability.

We understand that gardening tools should not only be functional but also comfortable to use. That’s why our tools are designed with the user in mind, so even the most demanding gardening tasks can be done with ease. The Benefits of Planting Bulbs on Time Planting bulbs on time offers numerous benefits that go beyond just improving bloom quality. Here are some of the key reasons to plant your bulbs on time: Improved Bloom: By giving the bulbs enough time to root, you increase the chances of a strong and healthy bloom in the spring. Less Maintenance: A well-rooted bulb is more resistant to unfavorable weather conditions, meaning you’ll spend less time maintaining your garden. Healthier Plants: Bulbs that are planted on time are generally healthier and less prone to diseases and pests. Maximum Enjoyment: By planting your bulbs on time, you can enjoy a colorful and blooming garden as soon as spring arrives. Start Planting Your Bulbs Today While it might be tempting to leave the garden alone in autumn, this is actually the time to take action. With the right preparation and tools from Sneeboer, you can ensure that your garden comes to life in spring with an explosion of color. Remember, timely planting is the key to a successful and blooming garden. So don’t wait any longer and start planting today! By following these guidelines and using high-quality gardening tools, you’ll lay the foundation for a beautiful and colorful gardening season. With Sneeboer by your side, you can be sure that you’ll enjoy a garden in full bloom year after year. --- ### What is the Great Dixter? URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/what-is-the-great-dixter Date: 2015-06-08 The Great Dixter, located in East Sussex, England, was the home of the late Christopher Lloyd, a renowned gardening writer. The Great Dixter tools made by Sneeboer are based on the ideas and experiences of Great Dixter’s head gardener Fergus Garrett, and are internationally a huge success. Within one year, garden lovers from more than 20 countries worldwide discovered the value of this exclusive range. Sneeboer is proud to have realized this success together with Great Dixter and supporting English heritage and culture. “It is a year now since the launch of the Great Dixter range of tools we designed for Sneeboer to manufacture. We are delighted with the response by our customers and they are in much demand through our online shop and when visiting the gardens. It is a great thing to know what you want from a garden tool and have Sneeboer make it. This makes our job here at Great Dixter easier and more satisfying and should do the same for our customers in their own gardens.” Perry Rodriguez, Business Manager from Great Dixter Sneeboer USA carries the following Great Dixter tools --- ### Sneeboer's Top Tools URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/sneeboers-top-tools Date: 2014-04-06 “So then, what is your favourite flower?”  or “You’ve visited gardens all over the world, which is your favourite?”  Two questions I am often asked and which are almost impossible to answer because it depends on the time of year and my mood and every garden has its own character.  But if I were pushed….answers are at the end of the article.And it is similarly difficult to give a single answer to the question “Your favourite garden tool is?”  But since I am asking and answering the question I am going to cheat and ask in the plural because that is a much easier question to answer. Asparagus Knife AND Weeder Which of the over 400 manufactured by Sneeboer are my favourite tools in the plural?  To be honest I enjoying all the Sneeboer tools I own for the simple reason that they quite simply a pleasure to wield, and do the job for which they are made with the minimum of fuss and maximum of ease.  Therefore, perhaps I should define ‘favourite’ a little more clearly.  For me, ‘favourite’ equates to ‘most often used’.  So, while my Asparagus Knife is gainfully employed in the spring to do its intended job I cannot justify it as a favourite per se.  My Heart-Shaped Planting Trowel is on the other hand a definite favourite because I use it all the time and it also has extra sentimental value because one always remembers one’s first, and the heart-shaped trowel was the first Sneeboer tool I ever owned - and is still going strong a decade or so later. Heart-Shaped Trowel - My First! Being used all the time hints at another of my pre-requisites for ‘favourite’ status - that a tool must be multi-skilling.  That is to say it does not only the job that it designed for, but others besides.  These jobs are not part of the tool’s ‘job description’ but uses that I have found or others have told me about. If you have suggestions for alternative uses for your tools, do please let me know by dropping me a line and I’ll spread the word. Admittedly I do use my Asparagus Knife as a weeder where delicate, precision weeding is required, for example between rows of young plants in the vegetable garden and in closely planted beds.  But the Heart-Shaped trowel is a serious multi-tasker.  Now classified as a planting trowel, this is originally a traditional Dutch tool designed for planting the tens of thousands of bulbs that were planted in the bulb fields by hand.  This repetitive task may have contributed to the perfect balance that this trowel has in the hand, with the blade weighted just right that it penetrates the soil with ease.  But as well as planting bulbs in beds, I use mine for amongst other tasks, transplanting, weeding, and dividing perennials. The Heart-Shaped Trowel is one of a ‘gang of 13’ tools which I use on an almost daily basis and with which I find I can do most (but not all) garden tasks that involve working with plants and the soil.  Whether its digging a whole new bed, a hole for a new shrub or making a hole-ette for a transplanted perennial.  Be it weeding between the rows of peas, around the roses or amongst the iris.  Preparing a seed bed, hoeing, or fighting my perennial battle with the national weed, ground elder.  The gang have it covered. The Jekyll Weeding Fork I am also a person who likes the quirky and stories associated with an object that make it that much more interesting.  Not ‘just’ the plant but also the story of its discovery and introduction, not just a garden but the quirky and often weird reasons for the way it was made or used (‘pleasuring sofas’ in the Temple of Venus at Stowe, for example!).  And its the same with tools.  The Jekyll Weeding Fork, for example is believed to have been designed by that great gardener and writer Gertrude Jekyll - she had her own forge and made her own tools!  And to be a favourite of Miss Jekyll, one would expect nothing less than the most practical of implements.  When delicate weeding and titivating is required, for digging out long dandelion roots, it cannot be bettered.  It is also perfect for spearing slugs. The Onion Hoe Weeding with an Onion Hoe is accurate, swift and efficient.  Although I have not yet mastered the ambidextrous skills of the contract workers from Ireland who hoed the fields of onions grown by market gardens around London in the mid-19th century with one hoe in each hand! The Rule Maker For its intended purpose, to make seed drills, the Rule Maker does an admirable job.  But in my garden it leads and a double life.   For with its triangular head perpendicular to the handle I find that the Rule Maker is also a super hoe.  Its easy-to-wield, effective-to-use and has pin-point-accurate.  I am also going to ask Jaap to put a short handle on it as I think it may also have potential as a planter. The Ground Elder Fork is exactly that.  With its angled head, it is perfect for getting under that mat of horrid white roots and then lifting them gently out of the soil so that no fragments get left behind.  My soil is sandy loam (hooray!) and the fork is just perfect - let me know if it is also efficient on heavier soils. The Drainage Spade No prizes for guessing what the Drainage Spade was originally designed for! But again, its one of those tools like the Heart-Shaped Trowel that has evolved. Not too many of us dig drainage ditches for a living these days, but as a tool for digging holes for fence posts, planting holes in a confined space, a narrow channel in which piping is to go, for digging out large clumps of perennial roots or tree roots, then this is a perfect tool - much easier to use and more efficient than a traditional spade. --- ## Products ### Hand Weeding Fork 3 tined URL: https://dutchgardentools.com/garden-tools/hand-weeding-fork-3-tined Price: $ 64.00 The hand-held fork is ideal for weeding and removing plants from the ground or pot without damaging the roots.
