Essential Garden Tools For Every Gardener

Essential Garden Tools For Every Gardener


Garden tools have evolved a lot over the years, from the digging sticks of antiquity to today’s highly specialized tools. Unlike other hobbies, you don’t really need to spend a lot when it comes to gardening. You can start with just the sun, good soil, and seeds. But gardening can be a grueling task and that’s why we have tools to make things easier.

Every season brings new garden gadgets and having the basic garden tool groups will help you maintain your garden year after year. Check out this list of the best must-have garden tools for every gardener.


Here are 6 essential garden tools to get you going on any garden project you have in mind:

 

1. Pruning Shears (Secateurs)

Pruning shears, also called secateurs, garden shears or hand pruners, are a type of scissors for using on plants. Pruning is one of the most common tasks we have in the garden. Garden shears should be part of your essential garden tools. Using pruners to regularly trim perennial flowers and fruit trees, deadhead blooming plants, or cut long, wayward branches out of shrubs encourages overall plant health, while refreshing your yard and garden’s overall appearance.

2. Harvesting Tools - Garden Scissors / Snips

Garden Scissors / Snips are the garden version of the sewing basket tool, made for cutting flower stems and string. For starters, using the right garden scissors can be critical to achieving clean, precise cuts on stems. Keeping your prep tools separate from your pruning and harvesting tools can also be important to avoid cross- contamination. You can use scissors to deadhead flowers, harvest veggies, and snip herbs.

3. Garden Hand Trowel

Trowel is an essential hand tool, trowels are wonderful for transplanting bedding plants and herbs, planting containers, and taking out weeds.
This is for precision digging in small spaces. It has a narrow, slightly scooped blade that’s perfect for installing bedding plants and moving soil. They are perfect for digging holes for planting, but their edge has to be kept sharp enough or they will be very frustrating to use. They can easily be sharpened using a bench grinder. Buying a trowel with an ergonomically designed handle will keep your hand from cramping and help ensure that you don’t get blisters when using this tool.

4. Transplanter

Similar to the garden trowel, this also allows you to dig precise holes for planting. More narrow than a regular trowel, a transplanter is designed to be used in smaller and tighter spaces, such as a pot or rock garden, or for spaces between other plants. It is also easier to remove and plant flowers and vegetables due to being able to make a smaller and deeper hole. The narrow design can also more easily cut through tighter-packed soil.

This compact and rugged garden tool features a mattock on one side for cutting through tough soil and roots and a three pronged tiller on the other for breaking up and aerating soils. Great for any gardening application. Every gardener needs one of these whether you are a professional or novice gardener.

6. Rakes

When leaves and debris fall, your sturdy rake is there to whisk them away. There are a number of different kinds of rakes available, each best suited to different jobs. Leaf rakes are plastic and have a little give to them, making them ideal for raking up large piles of leaves, pine needles, and even cut grass. Another kind of rake that is important for lawn care is the bow rake, which has shorter, stronger tines. These rakes are perfect for moving gravel, sand, or rocks around and for landscaping your garden and lawn.
