My favourite tool is an old wood workers adze attached to a yellow 5ft long fibre glass handle (i found somewhere).

Great for weeding in between rows. :wave:

I have a lovely old fork that was left on our allotment when we took it over, the tines have been sharpened and it is an absolute pleasure to work with. This is the one tool I couldn't do without.

I still use a spade that belonged to my Grandfather. Must be at least 80 years old and has an edge on it that you could shave with. Its an absolute joy to use.
Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?
