Maintaining the garden doesn?t have to be hard work. In fact it shouldn?t be in this day and age because technology has made it so much easier with modern power garden tools.

Today there are more line trimmers and blower vacs sold in Australia than there is shovels and there is a very good reason, they really do take the hard work out of keeping your garden looking good. Not all garden tools are the same quality and the good quality tools can be the difference between hard work and easy care.

If you are wondering what a guru uses then check out The Green Machine Blower Vac. This is a 2 stroke petrol powered machine that allows you the freedom to wonder everywhere without worrying about cords trailing behind you.

Its vacuum mode catches the refuse and chops it into mulch quick fast with a 12 to 1 ratio. The green mulch is great for compost or a weed suppressing mulch. if its wet and leaves are sticking to the ground it has a clever leaf scraper that makes sure nothing is left behind. The powerful 25.cc engine uses a new technology zip start which makes starting your machine simple and if you are wondering how powerful the blower is, the wind velocity is rated over 330kmph

It is type of professional quality machinery was once beyond the average gardeners? budget, but it is excellent value.

One of the stories from last season that got enormous attention was the Ryobi Expand It range of power garden tool adaptations. A rotary hoe, chainsaw, tiller, hedge trimmer even a basic blower attachment and they all work off your line trimmer engine.

Well the green machine is the professional generation of Expand it technology and you can not only get a curved shaft line trimmer with a huge 460mm cutting path, it can also adapt to any of the attachments, there is also a straight shaft brush cutter and line trimmer

These machines are incredibly powerful and feature ergonomic design features as well as user comfort features such as padded handles for less vibration, zip start technology, improved engine balance design for ease of use and greater comfort.

It is heavy duty stuff but at a reasonable price. Whilst you may have to spend a little more than the cheapy stuff that is sold everywhere these tools are built to last. Most importantly if you want a quality garden then you have to have quality tools. So look out for the unforgettable green machine power garden tools and expand it collection. They make caring for your garden easy.
