Gardening Gadgets and Gizmos

This curious-looking gizmo is designed to rake rocks— perfectly! It gathers rocks between three-quarters of an inch to four-inches in diameter in the top three inches of soil. Then you use the basket-shaped head to scoop them up and deposit them elsewhere.

And last but not least there’s the power rake. When raking leaves it’s a back saver, as it glides over leaves on the push stroke; on the pull stroke the upper shield prevents leaves from tumbling over the tines, all without having to lift the rake at all.

This tool also does a good job of raking and leveling soil, even dethatching the lawn. And it features a rotating grip that reduces wrist strain.
