Whether you are a seasoned gardener or are looking to test your green-fingered skills this summer, there are a few basic essentials you will need to ensure your garden is in tip top shape.
Lawn mowers will be at the top of the list for those with grass, while people with hedges to keep in check will want to add a hedge trimmer to their arsenal.
Hedge trimmers make light work of cutting back any over grown shrubs and bushes.
There is one in particular that is high on our wish list. Introducing the Challenge 45cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer, which has received glowing reviews from gardeners.
Why we rate it
The Challenge 45cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer is a good choice for those looking for something lightweight.
This design weighs just under 4kg, and runs on a lithium battery, which when fully charged can last for 30 minutes. So there’s no cord for you to worry about tripping over.
The blade measures 45cm, and has a tooth gap of 14mm, which means it is strong enough to cut through various hedges and trees, including Conifer and Beech.
This gardening tool also features a soft grip handle to ensure the trimmer does not rub on your hand and cause any discomfort when you are gardening.
To ensure gardeners are safe when using the trimmer, it has been fitted with a dual safety switch, a safety guard and hand guard, as well as a quick stop brake.
We also love that the Argos trimmer is super affordable and costs £40.
