Tool of the Month - February 2020

Preparing for springtime

Enjoy the appearance of early bulbs and wildlife awakening.

Here are this month's top ten jobs (according to Royal Horticultural Society):

• Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow some vegetables under cover
  
• Chit potato tubers
• Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines and peaches
• Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the birds off
• Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have finished flowering
• Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and plant those that need planting 'in the green'
• Prune Wisteria
• Prune hardy evergreen hedges and renovate overgrown deciduous hedges
• Prune conservatory climbers such as bougainvillea
• Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the winter, remove dead grass from evergreen grasses

You'll need a trusty and solid pair of secateurs, we have plenty to choose from.

Choose from a variety of bypass and anvil models.

We recommend reading our excellent article to better understand which tool is better suited to your cutting requirements. 

What is the difference between Bypass and Anvil secateurs?

For February 2020 we've chosen The Wolf Garten Professional Bypass Aluminium Secateurs (RR5000) and they really are "a cut above" the rest.

The smooth bypass cutting action provides you with a clean cut. Excellent for all purpose pruning.
