Long-handled hand trowel 

The Spear & Jackson 5110WF is a traditional long-handled weed fork made of stainless steel. The 12-inch handle is traditionally styled and weatherproofed, providing a longer reach that proves useful when working in borders, between plants, or in other garden areas. The fork is part of the Traditional stainless range of digging and cultivating tools, all of which feature mirror-polished stainless steel heads for reduced soil adhesion, rust resistance, and easy use. The product is highly rated and is considered a top choice among Amazon's offerings, indicating its high quality and competitive price.

Long-handled hand fork 

Upon purchasing this, I was immediately compelled to acquire the corresponding trowel. Both exhibit impressive strength and durability, as evidenced by their performance over the past few months. I've found that they significantly enhance my leverage and strength. It appears that these tools have also captured the interest of other family members! They transform laborious tasks into almost enjoyable experiences, and the added bonus is that you can achieve a lot more without the need to kneel.

Fine mesh netting

This product is a fine mesh, ideal for keeping out pests like carrot fly, butterflies, various garden insects, and even pigeons from vegetables. While it's a bit flimsy and may only last for a season, it's excellent value for money, costing less than half the price of some other meshes. The product was somewhat difficult to cut to size due to its packaging, and being made of nylon, it retains its shape. However, once installed, the mesh performs excellently and matches the seller's description. Despite its minor flaws, it's still a highly effective solution for pest control in the garden.
