Investing in power tools for your garden can make your gardening easier and help you get more done. Here are some important things to think about before you buy them.

2. Type of Gardening Tasks

• If you have heavy jobs, like tilling the soil or using soil mixers, electric or gas-powered tillers can cut your work time by 70%.
• Jobs like trimming hedges or mowing your lawn can take 3-4 hours with hand tools but only 1-2 hours with power tools.
