Category questions

How can I keep the garden tidy without losing every weekend

Use tools that are quick to grab and easy to put away, then set a few short slots each week for mowing, trimming and tidying. A couple of focused bursts often beat one long, tiring day.

Do I need powered tools for a small garden

Not always. Many small spaces can be managed with good hand tools and a simple push mower. Powered options help on bigger jobs but they also need more storage and maintenance.
