Every now and then, you discover a wonderful little tool that makes you wonder how you coped beforehand – and here’s another, the Sneeboer Weeding/Sowing Finger. The 2cm wide by 8cm deep blade, or ‘finger’, is equally adept at spot weeding in a well-tended bed or border, or drawing out a drill in a seed bed, and a combination of the length (it measures a mere 20cm overall) and the cherry wood handle gives you total control. Find a place in your shed for this little finger now!

Keep the garden pathways and stonework clear of unwanted weeds with the Long Handled Stone Scratcher – another extraordinarily useful tool carrying the renowned Sneeboer name. The sharply pointed 8cm long blade is designed specifically for successfully removing weed seedlings from between paving stones, sets and blocks – and with a 1.5m long ash handle, even the most evasive of weeds cannot escape. Measuring a comfortable to use 1.7m long overall, both you and your back will be delighted with this versatile tool.

Most gardeners are passionate about their lawns, and that’s why Sneeboer have designed and developed – with their legendary skill and experience – the Dandelion Spade. There’s no disguising the fact that a beautifully maintained green sward adds so much to the garden vista but unfortunately, it only takes a few misplaced dandelions (and other weeds) to spoil this view; however, their roots will be quivering at the thought of the 20cm deep scooped blade of this ash handled weeder! With a ‘t’ handle measuring 70cm in length, and a footrest on the right of the blade, you can say goodbye to crawling round the lawn on your knees too, as the spade measures a comfortable 1m overall.
