How to use tools?
Does anyone know of a good, concise website or book that identifies garden tools, their uses, and how to use them? I want to work more efficiently outdoors and I have many tools that my grandma gave me, but no clue how to use them.

Re: How to use tools?
I'd say the best way it to get out in the garden and give them a try, but that's just me!
If they are older tools, I don't know how much luck you'd have with an online source but I'm sure a quick trip to your local hardware store or nursery (during a quieter time of day) with everything in tow and the staff should be able to get you straight with what you have.
I don't know where to find exactly what you're looking for...but here's a good article on the Top 10 tools to have. I bet a lot of your grandma's are on here. I feel like those which have lasted over time are probably the best!

Thanks for sharing that link!
OP, can you post pictures of what you have? Maybe we can help.
