A couple of weeks ago I posted about a great Australian site offering women their own gardening and DIY tools. And it got me thinking...what is it that women want in a gardening tool that they're not getting at the moment?
Are gardening tool manufacturers specifically designing equipment aimed at the male market? If so, what would their reasons be for doing this. Surely there are more women gardeners than men - even though I couldn't find a conclusive finding on the matter one could ascertain this purely from the ratio of women to male gardening bloggers.
Firstly, who uses gardening tools? In our garden the predominant tool user is me. I do most of the lifting, the digging, the raking, the mowing and the cultivating - and I'm male. But I'm not sure that I represent the vast majority of gardeners. Certainly most of my male friends (with security issues) frown on my fanatical passion for growing plants and flowers.
And, do I use gardening tools the most because they've been manu
Now here's a website for all you women who are tired of living in a man's world.
I was stumbling around the web looking for some inspiration and I happened to come across this very chic gardening tool site. It had two things going for it that made it stand out as a site of note. Firstly, it was Australian - a definite winner for an Aussie blogger, and second it was purely designed for women - a very brave notion targeting your audience to a maximum 50% of the population.
But it didn't seem like it was suffering at all from a reduced target market. In fact, if anything, it appeared to be creating a formidable niche - tailoring DIY tools (not just for the garden) to women.
Apparently, the tools are designed with a women's hand size and shape in mind rather than a brawny male. And they're designed in colours that, ...well, they're a little more effeminate than most guys would appreciate.

When you begin gardening as a hobby, getting all the garden tools can be insanely expensive if you're planning to buy them straight off the shelf at your local Bunnings or Home Depot. Yet there are far cheaper ways to stock your garden shed without buying brand name equipment.
Without sharing those juicy tips too early, you may want to ponder firstly what is needed. There's no use buying a trench-digger if you're never planning to dig trenches. And, a range of hoes for every possible occasion may border on overkill.
Remembering that you're on a tight budget, limiting your tool selection is a necessary evil.
But, how do you go about getting cheap, yet reliable, garden tools. Here's some tips 'n' ideas;
