The way to hold garden tool to deal with this? (8)
I believe the answer is:
hedgerow
'deal with this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'the way to hold garden tool' is the wordplay.
'the way to' becomes 'how' (ie how to do something).
'hold' indicates putting letters inside.
'garden tool' becomes 'edger' (edger is a kind of garden tool).
'how' going around 'edger' is 'HEDGEROW'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hedgerow that I've seen before include "Field boundary" , "rural boundary" , "Line of shrubs as barrier" , "Living boundary between fields" , "Line of entwined bushes and trees" .)
