Five must have tools every home gardner needs
There are five essential tools that every gardener should possess. The first gardening tool I recommend is a garden rake. This is not the same as what people refer to as a leaf rake. The tines of a garden rake are much father apart then those of what is referred to as a leaf rake. A leaf rake is a bit too flimsy to have much practical purpose within the garden, but a good quality garden rake can serve both purposes: working in the garden to smooth the soil, spread clippings and mulch, and yet will also work while raking leaves.
The second essential tool for a gardener is good quality hoe. It is important to not skimp on quality when purchasing your garden tools. Often the less expensive garden tools do not stand up to vigourous labor and often the heads become detached. It is important to keep the head of the hoe sharpened as as necessary as it will make you work much easier.
Another important garden tool is a good quality hand digger. The gardener uses this then transplanting live plants such as tomatoes, peppers, and flowers among other plants. It is important to keep the tools indoors so they will not rust.
A wheelbarrow will make work in the garden much easier. It can be used for carrying mulch to the garden, picking up rocks and sticks, and of course, for moving heavier produce while harvesting. Either a metal or a plastic wheelbarrow will serve the purpose, but a plastic wheelbarrow will not rust if left outdoors and is more light weight the metal wheelbarrow.
A fifth gardening tool is a good quality pruner. This can be used to trim bushes, trim back climbing plants, and even tomato plants. Again, it is important to keep the pruner clean and sharpened to make your work easier.
Although there are many more gardening tools, a gardener can make-do with these five essential tools. They will help make gardening a joy instead of a chore.
