 | Coleman Cable 02409 14/3 SJTW Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord, Red, 100-Foot
Buy new: $36.40 Before you can get started as an electric gardener you'll need a good outdoor extension cord. I suggest a 100 footer.

 | Black & Decker MM875 Lawn Hog 12 Amp 19-Inch Electric Mulching Mower with Rear Bag
Buy new: $214.00 This mower has held up well. Zero problems. Being a mulching mower it really shreds the grass. Since I am always working to build the organic matter I leave the shredded material right where it is.
|
 | Black & Decker GH600 Grass Hog 14-Inch 5-AMP Electric String Trimmer and Edger
Buy new: $49.97 / Used from: $28.39 I think this trimmer has lasted longer than any I have ever owned. Works well and each roll of string lasts a good long time. Very efficient.

 | Black & Decker LH5000 12 Amp Variable Speed Electric Leaf Hog Blower / Vacuum With Zipper-Less Leaf Bag
Buy new: $76.93 Great for cleanup after mowing.
|
 | Mantis 7250-15-02 3-Speed Electric Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand
Buy new: $332.40 A great help in preparing planting beds. One thing I want to mention, it may take a little practice before you feel completely comfortable using the Mantis. Try it as the slowest setting first and give yourself a little time to get used to the feel of its power. The handles seemed too long to me at first, but once I got the hang of it, I realized they were just right.

 | Mantis 1722-00-02 Tiller Weed Reducers
Buy new: $13.46 / Used from: $10.99 Getting crabgrass untangled from the tines is the most aggravating part of using the Mantis. If you're spending the money to buy the Mantis, you might as well get the weed reducers.
|
 | Mantis 1322-00-02 Tiller Tine Detangler
Buy new: $20.71 Also this to detangle string vegetation from the tines.
|
 | Remington 41AZ55FG983 16-Inch 11.5-Amp Low Kickback Bar and Chain 3-HP Electric Chainsaw
Buy new: $83.29 Handles all my cutting needs. I advise anyone who gets one to take the time to learn to tighten and replace the chain. It's really not that hard. Only complaint, the thin plastic tab over the tightening screw breaks off too easily. Other than that, great saw and easy on the arm.

 | Black & Decker HT018 3.0 AMP 18-Inch Electric Dual Action Hedge Trimmer
Buy new: $42.00 |
 | McCulloch MCS2001 14-Amp Electric Chipper/Shredder
Buy new: $239.99 / Used from: $175.00 I'm not crazy about the design. It's annoying to use, but other than that it does what it's supposed to do. One tip, make sure the plant material is dry. Fresh green material turns to mush which is aggravating to clean.
|
 | Scotts 2000-20 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower
Buy new: $109.00 / Used from: $81.99 If you have a very small lawn or just want the exercise a reel mower may be an even better solution than an electric mower.
|
 | Fiskars 9210 Long Handled Swivel Grass Shears
Buy new: $32.48 / Used from: $29.99 Good for light trimming around beds or patio. I usually hand-water my plants which means the grass tends to grow faster around my raised beds. I carry the long-handled grass trimmer around while I'm looking at my plants and do a little touch-up trimming without bending.

Buy new: $22.74 Narrow enough to work well between plants.

Buy new: $31.83 |
 | Garden Weasel Gold Garden Claw Cultivator #91306
Buy new: $33.52 / Used from: $33.00 I use something similar, but couldn't find it on Amazon, so pointed to this an example of garden claws, which are very useful.
