The Gorilla Tubs from Red Gorilla are made of a thick rubberized plastic. They are high quality, durable, and seem to have limitless potential. I’ve used them for many years for a whole range of tasks, including hauling tools, weeds, mulch, and harvested veggies, and mixing soil with amendments. The large, flexible handles can be squeezed together easily, which also makes it possible to use the tubs as watering cans. Gorilla Tubs come in many sizes, colors, and styles, and they are easy to clean and stack. Red Gorilla also offers tubs that are made of 100% recycled plastic. Sizes range from 12.5 ounces to 19.8 gallons.

This lightweight hand tool is a favorite of mine. The CobraHead weeder and cultivator has a comfortable handle made out of recycled materials and a narrow, curved, tempered-steel blade that works exceptionally well in tight spaces. The precision, versatility, and sturdiness of this tool extend its value to a whole range of tasks. I use it for weeding between the cracks of my flagstone patio or in gravel paths; for digging up the deep, noxious roots of quack grass; for breaking up soil; and for planting smaller plugs and bulbs. While we use this tool frequently at the garden where I work, in my home garden I also use one that I’ve had for 18 years and is still going strong.
