RAKE

is a broom for outside use; a horticultural


implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed
transversely to a handle, and used to collect
leaves, hay, grass, etc., and, in gardening,
for loosening the soil, light weeding and
levelling, removing dead grass from lawns,
and generally for purposes performed in
agriculture by the harrow.

BOLO
(Tagalog: itk; Cebuano:
large cutting tool of Filipino
particularly in the
and in the sugar fields of

sundng; Hiligaynon: binangon) is a


origin similar to the machete. It is used
Philippines, the jungles of Indonesia,
Cuba.

The primary use for the bolo


agriculture or during trail
martial arts or Arnis as part

is clearing vegetation, whether for


blazing. The bolo is also used in Filipino
of training.

HOE
A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural hand
tool used to shape the soil, control weeds, clear
soil, and harvest root crops. Hoes are also used to
mix things like concrete, and to dig holes. Shaping
the soil can be piling soil around the base of plants
(hilling), creating narrow furrows (drills) and shallow
trenches for planting seeds and bulbs. Weed
control with a hoe can be by agitating the surface
of the soil or by cutting foliage from the roots, and
clearing soil of old roots and crop residues. Hoes
for digging and moving soil are used harvesting
root crops such as potatoes.

GARDEN FORK
Spading fork, digging fork or graip is a gardening implement, with a handle and
several (usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is used for loosening, lifting and
turning over soil in gardening and farming. It is used similarly to a spade, but in
many circumstances it is more appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the
implement to be pushed more easily into the ground, it can rake out stones and
weeds and break up clods, it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not
cut through weed roots or root-crops. Garden forks were originally made of
wood, but the majority are now made of carbon steel or stainless steel.

SHOVEL
A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and
moving bulk materials, such as soil, coal,
gravel, snow, sand, or ore. Shovels are
used extensively in agriculture,
construction, and gardening. Most
shovels are hand tools consisting of a
broad blade fixed to a medium-length
handle. Shovel blades are usually made
of sheet steel or hard plastics and are
very strong. Shovel handles are usually
made of wood (especially specific
varieties such as ash or maple)

SICKLE

A sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool with a


variously curved blade typically used for
harvesting grain crops or cutting succulent
forage chiefly for feeding livestock (either
freshly cut or dried as hay).A great diversity of
types is used across many cultures. Between
the dawn of the Iron Age and present,
hundreds of region-specific variants of this
basic forage-cutting tool were forged of iron,
later steel.

Grass shears
differ from pruning shears in being long-handled and having the handles at right-angles to the
blades. They can be used to cut grass from a standing position. Two kinds are available: with
the blades horizontal and with the blades vertical. Horizontal blades are used to remove grass
which has not been cut by the lawn mower, while vertical blades are used for trimming the
edges of a lawn.

SPRAYER
is a piece of equipment that is used to apply
herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers on agricultural
crops. Sprayers range in size from man-portable units
(typically backpacks with spray guns) to trailed
are connected to a tractor, to self-propelled units
tractors, with boom mounts of 60151 feet in length

A watering can (or watering pot) is a portable


container, usually with a handle and a spout,
used to water plants by hand. It has been in use
from at least the 17th century and has since
seen many improvements in design. Apart from
watering plants, it has varied uses, as it is a fairly
versatile tool.

WHEELBORROW
is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel,
designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using
two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient
wheelbarrow by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two
words: "wheel" and "barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the
Old English "bearwe" which was a device used for carrying
loads.
The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the
operator so enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be
possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator. As such it is a second-class lever.
Traditional Chinese wheelbarrows, however, had a central wheel supporting the whole load.
Use of wheelbarrows is common in the construction industry and in gardening. Typical capacity
is approximately 100 liters (4 cubic feet) of material.
