Reveals the intricacies of garden tools from the inevitable shovel to the obligatory garden hat. This description may be from another edition of this product.
A warmly written praise of gardening tools and the gardening process written by a person with a keen appreciation of the simple things in life. A must read for those who like to get their hands dirty in serach of the perfect flower or vegetable. The author has a fine sense of humor and mixes philosophy with wit. I read the book in one sitting.
The Best of the Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I've been an organic gardener for 35 years and Jeff Taylor's "Tools of the Earth" is hands down the best book on what gardening is really about that I have ever read! His wit, style and humor leave me wanting to find this guy and just follow him around for a couple of months to see how much I can learn. He is amazing and I love his writing!
Tools of the Earth

Using a quiet sense of humour the author of this book coaxes a smile from the reader for the people who use the tools of the earth. You don't have to be a gardener to enjoy this book. It is a delight to read.
Winter Relief for Gardners

Would make a great wintertime gift for a gardner. It was fun and informative. It would help to fill-in that awful winter void when we gardners can't play in the dirt.
A tool book like no other - not your typical how-to manual
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
There are other books on garden tools, a couple that are new this year - but this is like no other book on the subject - at once a philosophy lesson and a love story, full of humor and wisdom - and packed with tips about tools. You'll never look at your trowel in quite the same way once you've read this book. And it is also a great read!
