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.
