Just ram them with your mower.
Have you not seen Braindead? Lawnmowers all the way. You can see the adverts now, 'mow your lawn and eviscerate the undead too! Flymo - Zombie proof since 1947'
I'd keep them pleasured and distracted with my garden "hoe's"...or maybe even my water "hose"
That's a tough one. I reckon the only way they could be defeated is if Rosemary and Thyme the crime fighting gardening duo were to take them on by singing to them. The zombies would claw their way back into their graves to try and escape them!
Gah! Plant garlic of course
Oh, I am your man when it comes to Zombies. I have been planning what I would do in the Zombie Apocalypse foe years (maybe I need counselling).
The hedge trimmers don't leave much scope for clubbing or stabbing, also they have a short range. You want to stay as far away as possible from the undead hordes to prevent biting and ultimately, death.
The shovel on the other hand has a wide scope for different kinds of attacks. You can wack them over the head, poke the buggers to keep them at bay or even use the edge of the shovel tip as a blade and decapitate 'em. That would result in an instant kill and prevent resurrection. The only downside is the weight. I imagine a garden fork would have the same effect.
Other home-made weapons in a hurry would be the knife, skateboard, 2X4, hammer and of course the makeshift flamethrower. I'm sure a man like you already knows how this is done so I won't bore you with the details.
The flamethrower would be another way to prevent resurrection. The only downside is if you torch one of the rotting freaks you not only have a brain hungry zombie lurching towards you, you have a brain hungry zombie on fire lurching towards you.
No, they are no good. Definitely a small petrol lawnmower....

Have you watched Braindead? That's a classic lawnmower zombie-splattering movie - you might be able to pick up some useful tips! ;o)
Go for the shovel that should realy do the trick
I hope that never happens... but I would have to say those large hedge trimmers... the zombies are slow, right? So technically you could run up behind them, cut off their head, then run away. I'd use anything I could!! Shaun (in Shaun of the Dead) used some kind of paddle or something, worked for him!
Obviously if you have one handy then definately a lawnmower as demonstrated in Braindead.
But if you've only the hedge trimmers or shovel to choose between?
If they're petrol hedge trimmers you could cut off one of your hands and replace it with them. Like Ash in The Evil Dead sequels, well, he had a chainsaw but hedge trimmers might work just as well.
If they're electric you'll be restricted in your movements and have to be very careful not to cut through the lead.
If they're manual I'd go with the shovel. You wouldn't have to get too close to them then.

You know, after Chris4577etc., there's not much point in answering. Who could top that?
