1
~$65. The answer to 'why do scissors cost that much' - mine will be six years old and still holding an edge, eventually.
2
~$60. I already own the Felcos, so this is pure duplication - Okatsune fans swear the Japanese steel takes a finer edge.
3
$39. Every gardening account online swears by this and I'm tired of resisting.
4
$33. My wrist after a spring of transplanting made the case for this one on its own.
5
Nisaku hori hori knife
~$25-30 depending where you find it. The one tool on this whole list I'd call actually needed, not wanted.
6
A real digging fork
7
Two-wheeled garden cart
8
Seedling heat mat
Would have saved three failed pepper starts last spring, bumping it toward the top of this list now.
9
Rain barrel off the shed downspout
10
Cold frame kit
Nice to have for the winter greens project, but honestly optional. Lowest priority here.
