1. A hand towel is a smaller towel used specifically to dry the hands and face.

As with bath
towels, these small towels are often made of cotton-based terrycloth for extra
absorbency.Hand towels are also sometimes used as decorative accents in the bathroom.
Among the various types of towels, the hand towel is probably the second most commonly
used towel around the home. Second only to the bath towel, the hand towel is often
positioned near the sink in the bathroom. This makes it possible for people to quickly dry
their hands after washing them in the basin. The towel is also often a favorite item for men,
as the small size makes it easy to use while shaving.
Just like the larger bath towel, the hand towel is available in a wide range of colors,
textures, and designs. It is possible to purchase solid colored towels that contain a high
thread count. These versions are normally highly absorbent and thick to the touch. Sculpted towels add a bit of visual interest to the
towel while still serving a practical purpose. For people who like a lot of color, it is possible to buy hand towels that are striped or
utilize several colors in some type of pattern.

2. A hand cultivator is a garden implement which gardeners can use to work the soil and remove
weeds by hand. Hand cultivators are useful for minor gardening tasks, small gardens, and
working in planters. Many garden supply stores sell cultivators of this type, especially in the
spring, and sometimes hardware stores and general stores will stock them as well. Springtime is
an especially convenient season to pick up a hand cultivator, as
many stores sell them cheaply during the spring for gardeners who
want to start working the soil with the change of seasons.
Hand cultivators consist of a set of tines, usually three, attached to a
sturdy handle. The tines are usually made from stainless steel, and
they are typically curved and thick, so that they can grip the soil and
hold their grip as the cultivator is used. A good hand cultivator is a
solid cast item with no joins or seams to create weak points, and
especially good products haveergonomic handles which make them
easier to use.
In some cases, the tines are arranged like a fan. In others, the middle
tine may be closer to the handle, creating a V shape. The tines can
also vary in length. All of these variations on design are intended to
make the hand cultivator more effective, and some gardeners have a preferred style they like to
use based on their garden experience.

3. A garden fork, spading fork, digging fork or graip is a gardening

implement, with a handle and several (usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is
used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It
is used similarly to a spade, but in many circumstances it is more
appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the implement to be pushed more
easily into the ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break up clods,
it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not cut through weed roots
or root-crops. Garden forks were originally made of wood, but the majority
are now made of carbon steel or stainless steel.

Garden forks are slightly different from pitchforks, which are used for moving loose materials
such as piled hay, compost, or manure. Garden forks have comparatively a fairly short, usually
wooden handle, with a "D" or "T" end. Their tines are usually shorter, flatter, thicker, and more
closely spaced.

A smaller version of such forks with shorter, closer-spaced, thinner tines (but a full-sized handle)
is known as a border fork or ladies' fork, and is used for lighter work such as weeding amongst
other plants. Forks with broader, flatter tines are made for lifting potatoes and other root crops
from the ground. A pair of forks back-to-back is often used to lever apart dense clumps of roots.

4. Hedge shears Also known as hedge clippers or trimmers, hedge
shears are devices that are used to trim decorative shrubbery and
other types of plants. Designed for residential and commercial use, the
shears make it possible to manicure the landscape around a home,
commercial building, or other type of edifice. Hedge shears come in
several sizes and with different options for a power source. The choice
of the make and model for the hedge shear equipment often depends
on the intended purpose the shears will serve, and the personal
preferences of the user. Basic hedge shears are simple devices
composed of two sharp blades and a set of handles that make it
possible to open and close the blades at will. The basic shears rely on the strength of the user to
manage the task of trimming hedge bushes or cutting through other types of plants, such as thin
tree limbs. Operating shears of this kind normally requires a fair amount of strength in the upper
body, especially, the forearms and wrists. In terms of care, the blades are cleaned and honed
regularly in order to maintain the tool in proper working order.

5. A rake (Old English raca, cognate with Dutch raak, German Rechen, from the
root meaning "to scrape together," "heap up") is a broom for outside use;
a horticultural implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed transversely to a handle,
and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, etc., and, in gardening, for loosening the soil,
light weeding and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for
purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow.
Large "mechanized" versions of rakes are used in farming. They are usually
called hay rakes, and are built in many different forms (e.g. star-wheel rakes, rotary rakes etc.) Where farming is not
mechanized various forms of hand rake are used.

6. A light hoe is a light weight version of a regular garden hoe, which is a tool
with a thin blade set across the end of a long handle for weeding and loosening soil.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_light_hoe

7. A round point shovel is a versatile gardening tool. The blade of the shovel is slightly
curved for scooping, and the end is round, often curving to a point in the middle. The
edges of the blade are beveled to allow the shovel to slice into dirt, and the long handle
can be made of wood or fiberglass. Some shovel handles have a D-grip at the top, making
them easier to maneuver.
Unlike larger square point shovels which are used for scraping or lifting lighter materials
like snow or manure, a round point shovel can be used for digging large holes or scooping
heavier material, such as rocks or wet soil. The sharp edges make these shovels useful for cutting into sod or root
material, and their bowl-like shape allows them to lift and move plants from the soil. A
durable round point shovel can even be used as a hammer or to break apart compacted soil. A
small round point shovel, or trowel, is useful for weeding, digging small holes, and transplanting small plants.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-round-point-shovel.htm#

8. A square shovel is a tool that is used for scooping and moving dirt, gravel or
landscaping materials. It also is used for digging as in construction or landscaping. A
square shovel sometimes is referred to as a spade. It can be constructed from steel,
aluminum or plastic. Steel and aluminum shovels most often are used for household
and industrial use, and plastic shovels are widely preferred as snow shovels.

12. Pruning shears are specialized scissors which are designed to be used in the pruning of woody plants
and flowers. They have sturdy blades which can cut through woody branches, along with thick handles to make the
shears easier to handle and use. Many gardeners keep a pair of pruning shears around for minor pruning tasks,
along with a set of lopping shears to cut larger branches. Garden supply and hardware stores typically stock pruning
shears, along with protective covers which can be pulled over their blades for storage.

14. Pruning is a horticultural and silvicultural practice involving the selective

removal of parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. Reasons to prune
plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or directing growth),
improving or maintaining health, reducing risk from falling branches,
preparing nursery specimens for transplanting, and both harvesting and
increasing the yield or quality of flowers and fruits. The practice
entails targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally
unsound, or otherwise unwanted tissue from crop and landscape plants.
Specialized pruning practices may be applied to certain plants, such as roses, fruit
trees, and grapevines. Different pruning techniques may be deployed on
herbaceous plants than those used on perennial woody plants. Hedges, by
design, are usually (but not exclusively) maintained by hedge trimming, rather than by pruning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruning

15. A dibber or dibble is a pointed wooden stick for making

holes in the ground so that seeds, seedlings or small bulbs can be
planted. Dibbers come in a variety of designs including the
straight dibber, T-handled dibber, trowel dibber, and L-shaped
dibber. In some countries (such as New Zealand) the term is also
often used to refer to a mattock.

16. A crowbar, wrecking bar, pry bar, or prybar, pinch-bar or sometimes (in British
usage) a prise bar, prisebar, and more informally a jimmy, jimmy bar, jemmy[1] or gooseneck is
a tool consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, often with a small
fissure on one or both ends for removing nails. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia,

"crowbar" may occasionally be used loosely for this tool, but may also be used to mean a larger
straighter tool (see spud bar). The term jemmy or jimmy most often refers to the tool when used
for burglary.

22. Goggles or safety glasses are forms of protective eyewear that
usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent
particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes. They are used
in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking. They are often used in snow
sports as well, and in swimming. Goggles are often worn when using power
tools such as drills or chainsaws to prevent flying particles from damaging the
eyes. Many types of goggles are available as prescription goggles for those
with vision problems.

28. Two-wheel tractor or walking
tractor are generic terms understood in the
USA and in parts of Europe to represent
a single-axle tractor, which is a tractor with
one axle, self-powered and self-propelled,
which can pull and power various
farm implements such as a
trailer, cultivator or harrow,
a plough, or various seeders and harvesters.
The operator usually walks
behind it or rides the implement being towed.
Similar terms are mistakenly
applied to the household rotary tiller or power
tiller; although these may be
wheeled and/or self-propelled, they are not
tailored for towing implements. A two-wheeled tractor specializes in pulling any of numerous types of implements,
whereas rotary tillers specialize in soil tillage with their dedicated digging tools. This article concerns two-wheeled
tractors as distinguished from such tillers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_tractor
29. A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically
designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow
speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used
in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used
to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction
to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally)
tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural
implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor,
and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the
implement is mechanized. The word tractor was taken from
Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull".[1][2] The first
recorded use of the word meaning "an engine or vehicle for
pulling wagons or ploughs" occurred in 1901, displacing the earlier term "traction engine" (1859).

32. Native plow is a farm
implement used to cut, turn
up, and break up the soil

http://www.yourdictionary.com/plow
33. In agriculture, a harrow (often called a set of harrows in
a plurale tantum sense) is an implement for breaking up and
smoothing out the surface of the soil. In this way it is distinct in
its effect from the plough, which is used for deeper tillage.
Harrowing is often carried out on fields to follow the rough finish
left by ploughing operations. The purpose of this harrowing is
generally to break up clods (lumps of soil) and to provide a finer
finish, a good tilth or soil structure that is suitable
for seedbeduse. Such coarser harrowing may also be used to
remove weeds and to cover seed after sowing. Harrows differ fromcultivators in that they disturb
the whole surface of the soil, such as to prepare a seedbed, instead of disturbing only narrow
trails that skirt crop rows (to kill weeds).

34. A cultivator is any of several types of farm implement used
for secondary tillage. One sense of the name refers to frames

36. A disc harrow is a farm
implement that is used to cultivate the
soil where crops are to be planted. It is
also used to chop up unwanted weeds or
crop remainders. It consists of
many iron or steel discs which have
slight concavity and are arranged into
two or four sections. When viewed from
above, the four sections would appear to
form an "X" which has been flattened to
be wider than it is tall. The discs are
also offset so that they are
not parallel with the overall direction of
the implement. This is so they slice the
ground they cut over a little bit to
optimize the result. The concavity of the discs as well as their being offset causes them to loosen and pick up the
soil they cut.

38. A bench grinder is a type of benchtop grinding machine used to
drive abrasive wheels. A pedestal grinder is a larger version of a bench
grinder that is mounted on a pedestal, which is bolted to the floor. These
types of grinders are commonly used to hand grind cutting tools and
perform other rough grinding.

39. tree chipper or woodchipper is a machine used for

reducing wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into
smaller woodchips. They are often portable, being mounted on
wheels on frames suitable for towing behind a truck or van. Power
is generally provided by an internal combustion engine from 3
horsepower (2.2 kW) to 1,000 horsepower (750 kW). There are
also high power chipper models mounted on trucks and powered
by a separate engine. These models usually also have a hydraulic
crane.

40. Soil steam sterilization (soil steaming) is a farming technique
that sterilizes soil with steam in open fields or greenhouses. Pests of plant
cultures such as weeds, bacteria, fungi and viruses are killed through induced
hot steam which causes their cell structure to physically degenerate.
Biologically, the method is considered a partial disinfection. Important heatresistant, spore-forming bacteria survive and revitalize the soil after cooling
down. Soil fatigue can be cured through the release of nutritive substances
blocked within the soil. Steaming leads to a better starting position, quicker
growth and strengthened resistance against plant disease and pests. Today,
the application of hot steam is considered the best and most effective way to
disinfect sick soil, potting soil and compost. It is being used as an alternative
to bromomethane, whose production and use was curtailed by the Montreal Protocol. "Steam effectively kills
pathogens by heating the soil to levels that cause protein coagulation or enzyme inactivation.

41. Plastic mulch is a product used, in a similar fashion to mulch, to
suppress weeds and conserve water in crop production andlandscaping.
Certain plastic mulches also act as a barrier to keep methyl bromide, both a
powerful fumigant and ozone depleter, in the soil. Crops grow through slits or
holes in thin plastic sheeting. Plastic mulch is often used in conjunction
withdrip irrigation. Some research has been done using different colors of
mulch to affect crop growth. This method is predominant in large-scale
vegetable growing, with millions of acres cultivated under plastic mulch
worldwide each year. Disposal of plastic mulch is cited as an environmental
problem; however, technologies exist to provide for the recycling of
used/disposed plastic mulch into viable plastic resins for re-use in the plastics manufacturing industry.
