1) Trowel/Spade
A trowel or spade is useful for when you want to break up dirt, dig a small hole, transplant seedlings, or even get rid of weeds. If you want to know what gardening tool to splurge on, make this the one. Beginner and expert gardeners alike absolutely need this tool.
2) Pruning Spears
When you’re harvesting produce or cutting bush berries, you’ll need a durable pair of pruning spears. For a precise cut, clip at the node of the plant. As your garden grows, you need loopers for branches that are two inches or wider.
3) Hoses or Watering Cans
If your plants are going right into the ground, then choose a long water hose that will reach many places in your garden. Watering devices with a spray or nozzle attachment will help you to control water pressure. Container gardening means that you’re plants aren’t going directly into the ground, and you’re planting them inside of pots. If this is the case, go for a lightweight hose. It’s best to water your plants or grass early in the morning when the temperature is at its coldest. Midday watering causes evaporation while evening watering causes waterlog.
4) A Rake
Rakes make sure that your garden is smooth and even. Its uniformed tines create level soil all while getting rid of weeds. If your landscape is harsh and overgrown, consider buying a gardening hoe instead.
5) Shovel With An Angle
It may be apparent that you need a shovel, but there are so many options! An angled shovel with a triangular-shaped spearhead allows you to dig holes, move soil, and relocate your plants. If your landscape is massive, one suggestion would be to use a square-shaped spade so that lines with be clean. For beginners, an angled shovel is the better option.
