What Are The Gardener's List Of Tools?


There are many different kinds of tools that gardeners need to have to work in their garden.



There are so many different tools on the market that can be overwhelming to everybody.

It is important that I enjoy using my gardening tools, so comfort needs to be the first consideration. I always try out the garden tool for ease of handling before I buy it. The shaft of a fork, spade, or rake needs to be the right length so I do not have to stoop, and the hilt or handle should be easy to grasp when I am wearing gloves, the weight and balance should feel right.


  Spade

I will need a spade to dig planting holes for shrubs, trees, and large herbbbbbbaceous plants. A spade is also used to spread any manure, compost, and mulching materials

The blade should be sharp. If I have a forged steel blades, then this one can be sharpened when they lose their cutting edge.

Digging is the hardest on the back, I always make sure my spade handle is long enough.

Watering can

Buy a 2-gallon watering can with  a long spout that  I can water all of my plants with it.

Trowel

Trowel is probably a tool that  I will used the most for all of my weeding and planting.  In buying a stainless steel trowel is the best  thing to do. A second trowel with a narrow blade is useful for planting bulbs and also getting out weeds with taproots, such as dandelions.


Shears

I will need to have a pair of shears that I will need for flower gathering, dead-heading and pruning of branches up to 1/2 inch in diameter. The shear's handles need to be comfortable to grip, and they will not slip in my hand, always make sure that the handles do not open too wide for your handles. The safety catch of my shears need to be operated with one hand.

Mower

The kind of mower I need to get is according to what kind of jobs that I will be using the mower for a small, hand-operated push mower will cut in widths of about one foot and I can also get  a tractor.

Clippers

I have hedges so I will need these shears are essential equipment. They are used to tidy up grass where my mower can not reach, against walls and around the base of trees and shrubs and for clipping plants such as lavender. Some people uses clippers to prune roses.

Summary

Since I want to plant a garden and a flower bed, the tools that I have talked, about in this article I will need to get from a store.
