DAN PEARSON, landscape designer

‘I would take the “Hydra Hoe” by gardening store Implementations. It is the best hoe I have ever used, which is saying something after over 40 years of gardening. What makes it special is its double-edged and hinged blade, which means that it cuts on both the push and the pull, which makes light work of weeds. The copper used to make all of Implementations’ tools is also believed to magnetise the soil, making it more unattractive to snails and slugs.’
