What Garden Tools Will I Need?
While you’re planning your garden assault, you’ll probably want to think about some essential garden tools you’re going to be using too. Our range of stainless steel and carbon steel garden tools will keep your entire garden in great condition. Good quality gardening gloves are another gardening essential.
Digging forks are a staple for gardeners all over the world. A good digging fork should last you a lifetime. Used to dig over beds, borders and vegetable patches. They’re also great for incorporating well rotted manure and pelleted fertilisers as well as annual general purpose feeds.
When it comes to planting, you’ll want a hand trowel, like the awesome multifunctional Capability trowel that is much more than just a trowel. The metal-tipped handle doubles up as a hammer, and the serrated edge is perfect for opening bags of compost. There’s even a planting measure on the face to use when you’re transplanting. Use this Swiss Army knife of a trowel to:
- Hammer in vine eyes, posts and stakes
- Plant bulbs, seeds and dig planting holes
- Open compost bags
- Slice through surface weeds
- Plant in hard to work soils
Use a hand fork for loosening tough soils and breaking up larger clods, while you make your panting holes.
What ever you decide to use in your garden, it’s important that you enjoy yourself. Being outside doing some gentle exercise is good for you. Afterwards, there’s always that well-earned drink to look forward to while you sit and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
