Where to find tools without spending much

If you’re just starting out, buying tools can feel expensive, but you don’t need to break the bank. Ask friends or neighbors if they want to swap tools, or check online swap groups to find used garden gear. Some people even give away tools they don’t use anymore, so keep an eye out for freebies.
