Tools used in the order of amount of use:

1. pick axe - mostly used for grubbing up guinea grass
2. scythe - used for mowing & knocking down guinea grass - mostly at the farm since I don't have a mowing deck yet
3. bypass pruners - used for pruning the coffee trees to manageable shapes and sizes
4. hard tine rake - used for smoothing garden beds and leveling backhoe teeth marks
5. hand pruners - used for small trimming
6. garden cart - used for moving rocks and brush around
7. shovel - used for planting trees when it is too awkward to bring the backhoe around

8. weedwhacker and 9. mower, used around the house but not at the farm. If a mowing deck doesn't show up, then they may start being used out there, too.

10. o'o bar - used for digging holes in hard stuff

11. Round UP is occasionally used for weed/guinea grass suppression but it is too expensive to use much.

Numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 were found at yard sales. 1, 2 & 8 we bought at Garden Exchange. They don't have the cheapest prices, but they have the better tools. Home Depot, Lowe's, etc., have cheaper prices but correspondingly cheaper tools, too.
