Basic Gardening Tool List
Spade or Shovel
A basic garden necessity is a shovel or spade. The first has a
scoop blade and is best used to move dirt and garden soil
around; the latter has a flat blade great for cutting edges,
digging, and dividing plants.
The edge of a spade should be kept sharpened for clean and
efficient cutting that will cause the least amount of damage to
plants.
Forks
Forks are useful for turning and aerating compost and breaking
up lumps of soil - and digging potatoes.
The cheaper ones are often not strong enough for heavy soil, so
go for sturdiness instead of price. They are also handy for
lifting piles of fresh weeds into barrows.
Chipping Hoe
A chipping hoe is a handy tool for getting rid of small weeds.
The Dutch or push-hoe is slightly more user-friendly as the
action required to use it does not jar the neck and shoulders
quite so much.
A three –pronged hoe can be useful as it goes in deeper than a
rake and so can drag out weeds that get buried under the soil.
Rake
A rake is also a basic requirement for the garden. The strong
rake with the flat head and sharp metal prongs is used for
smoothing a garden bed and getting out the last of the lumps and
weeds.
The plastic rake is used to gather leaves and grass clippings
only.
Wheelbarrow
A wheelbarrow is another handy tool for the garden. One time
there was only the one-wheel style similar to that used by
builders.
Nowadays you can purchase a pull along barrow with two wheels.
It is lower to the ground so you don’t have to lift as high and
seems much easier to use – a point to consider for those whose
muscles aren’t really strong.
Hand Pruners and Pruning Saws
When you buy secateurs make sure the size fits your hand. A
pruning saw may be useful for pruning trees and larger shrubs,
while secateurs are for plants like roses.
Pruning saws have a narrow curved blade that fits between stems
or branches and easily and cuts them as you pull the saw
backwards. There are also telescopic tree pruners that are made
especially for those high jobs.
Shredders
More recent additions to the gardening world are shredders.
Wonderful for disposing of waste and creating mulch for the
garden they will save you the cost of buying mulch and disposing
of waste.
Composters
Composting is an age old fascinating process. In these day when
we are more aware of the environment and recycling processes,
the art of Composting is awakened again.
