A hand trowel is a small handheld tool with a pointed, scoop-shaped
metal blade. It's perfect for planting, transplanting, and digging small holes for seeds or
plants.
Also known as secateurs, pruning shears are essential for cutting and
trimming plants, shrubs, and small branches. They come in various sizes and styles for different
cutting needs.
Protect your hands from thorns, sharp objects, and dirt with a good pair
of garden gloves. Choose durable, comfortable gloves that fit well and provide adequate
protection.
A hoe is a versatile tool for weeding, cultivating, and loosening soil.
It typically has a long handle and a flat metal blade, making it efficient for breaking up soil
and removing weeds.
Proper watering is crucial for healthy plants. A watering can or hose
with a spray nozzle allows you to control the water flow and direct it precisely where
needed.
A garden fork is useful for turning and aerating soil, mixing in
alterations, and lifting plants and bulbs. Its strong tines penetrate the soil easily without
damaging plant roots.
Transporting soil, mulch, plants, and other heavy items is much easier
with a wheelbarrow or garden cart. Choose one with sturdy construction and good maneuverability
for efficient use in your garden.
