Tools for your garden

Here's a list of tools you might need to get your garden ready for spring:

2. Hand Trowel: Ideal for digging small holes for planting seeds, bulbs, or small plants.

3. Pruning Shears: Trim dead or overgrown branches, stems, and foliage to promote healthy growth.

4. Garden Fork: Break up compacted soil, aerate the ground, and turn over compost or mulch.

5. Rake: Remove debris, such as fallen leaves and twigs, from the garden beds and lawn.

6. Shovel: Dig large holes for planting trees, shrubs, or larger plants, and for moving soil and compost.

7. Wheelbarrow or Garden Cart: Transport heavy materials like soil, mulch, or plants around the garden.

8. Hoe: Weed the garden beds and break up soil clumps to prepare for planting.

9. Watering Can or Hose: Ensure your plants receive adequate water during dry spells or after planting.

10. Garden Knife or Multi-tool: Useful for various tasks such as cutting twine, opening bags of soil, or dividing plants.

11. Soil Test Kit: Check the pH and nutrient levels of your soil to determine if any amendments are needed.

12. Garden Sprayer: Apply fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides evenly and efficiently.

13. Garden Kneeler or Pad: Protect your knees while working close to the ground, reducing strain and discomfort.

14. Mulching Tools: Spread mulch evenly around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health.

Make sure to inspect your tools for any damage and clean them before use to ensure optimal performance.
