Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out it's essential you have the right tools for the job. Using the wrong tools for the job can make long work of what should be quick and easy tasks. This in turn can become very off-putting and you may feel you do not want to return to those garden jobs again. To ensure this doesn’t happen we have put together a list of 10 must-have tools.
