is a simple convenience worth having, and prevents the 

 not uncommon accident of a blow in the face from the 

 handle of a tool, on the end of which the gardener has 

 incautiously stepped. Small tools, like trowels, and 

 pruning knives and shears, should be kept in a drawer.

 small garden plot:

A fuller equipment would include in addition:

 ing
