A Few of My Favorite Things

On our property we have one acre of flowers – roses, lavender, dahlias, etc. We created long raised sections that have three rows of plants each. This entails trenching the sides to hold in the sand/stone and precision weeding so we don’t hurt the plants or roots. To create the rows, we needed to till up grassy areas and work in manure and sand.  These are the tools I researched and used (bough myself was not given a freebie). These are work horses and I recommend them highly!  While I bought these with my own money, I will earn a commission if you click a link and purchase one.
