10 must have garden tools and their uses

But to make the most of gardening this season, you’ll need the right tools. From the perfect shovel to high-quality gloves, here are 10 tools used for gardening you will need this summer.

Canvas Gardening Apron

Gardening requires a ton of tools, so having everything you need at hand is essential. Keep your most-used tools within easy reach with a gardening apron

Gardening Gloves for Small Yard Tools

In addition to keeping your hands from getting dirty, gardening gloves will help protect your skin from damage and make gripping your garden tools much easier. Washable synthetic gloves are a great choice for gardening because they allow plenty of finger dexterity while also providing ample protection while you work.

 Garden Hose 

Watering your garden is imperative to keep it healthy, so a high-quality garden hose and multi-nozzle sprayer are essential.   A green garden needs a hose constructed of heavy duty rubber to ensure it lasts from season to season.

 Garden Hand Trowel

Whether you are planting seeds or simply scooping potting soil into a pot, a trowel is another great gardening tool to have on hand.

Hand Pruning Shears 

Keep your flowers and shrubs looking great with a sharp set of pruning shears. These handy clippers are a must-have for deadheading flowers, snipping fresh veggies off your plants, or trimming stems

Square Garden Spade

Make your garden look neat and tidy with an edging spade, the perfect tool for cutting a clean edge and scraping dirt and debris off your sidewalks and driveway when you’re finished planting. This flat-edged shovel is also great for slicing through the turf and cutting through tough roots.

Garden Spade Shovel

Every garden starts with a hole in the ground. To make the hole, you’ll need the right shovel. A rounded-blade digging shovel is the easiest way to dig a hole for larger plants and shrubs.

 Wheelbarrow and Yard Cart

Whether you’re clearing debris from your flower beds or transporting new plants to your garden, a wheelbarrow will make the job so much easier. And it’s not just good for gardening, you can also use your wheelbarrow to haul a variety of other items around your yard.

Claw Rake and Cultivator

To clear debris from under and around existing plants, you’ll need something a little smaller than a traditional garden rake. A hand rake is a great way to clear your flower beds without damaging roots and stems.

 Garden Rake

A sturdy rake is essential for getting your garden ready for the growing season. In addition to clearing away leaves and debris from your garden site, a rake is also great for spreading mulch and leveling soil for planting seeds.

 

Other things used for gardening:

We believe an inexpensive Soil Meter is a necessary garden aid in determining the PH level and Moisture level in your garden.   And this will give you information for watering and help determine what additives your garden might need.

Keep your garden hand tools handy by recycling a rake head and use it for a hanging rack inside your garden.

A Garden Insect House promotes beneficial insects to live in or near your garden.  These Bug House usually have different chambers to promote Ladybugs, Mason bees,  butterflies and lacewings to lay eggs or hibernated inside.

Another way to store garden tools is by mounting a Standard Mailbox to your garden fence.  And it will keep your gloves and other tools handy and dry which makes it a great garden aids.
