Pliers for Your GardenUse regular pliers to pull weeds that have long tap roots, especially sticky ones like briars. Put the nose of the pliers right at ground level to grab the weeds. I find them very good to pull the many baby oak trees that fill my garden each year.
Oily Sand for ToolsKeep a bucket of oily sand in a handy place to stick your tools in to prevent rust.
Mulch with Wet NewspaperUse wet layers of newspapers around plants to prevent weed growth.
