Garden Tools for Your Green Oasis

Anyone with a green thumb knows that the gardening season starts before spring has really arrived. After all, you have to plan what to plant. Then the seeds have to be obtained and germinated so that the little plants can finally be planted outside. Then the little seedlings have to be defended against snails, insects and birds. And the tasks don't stop there: watering, weeding, tending. It takes a lot of work and time to grow your own vegetables and beautiful flowers. To keep your garden in good shape and be able to harvest fresh tomatoes or cut your own roses, you need a basic set of gardening tools.

Basic equipment includes a garden rake for loosening the soil, a garden shovel for planting, secateurs for pruning shrubs, perennials and flowers and a saw for branches. Every garden also needs a watering can and a garden hose to water the plants. A rain barrel is also a good idea to collect rainwater for drier times.

When choosing your gardening tools, you can also keep an eye on the size and design. Do the tools fit your height and are they ergonomically designed to minimise strain on your hands and back? As a general rule, use suitable gloves for all work - this prevents injuries and blisters. Special knee cushions for gardening also take the strain off your back. Smaller jobs such as sowing and repotting can also be done easily at a planting table.

Garden Tools for Every Season

Your garden requires different care depending on the season, which is why you need to use different gardening tools. Garden shears, for example, are used all year round: for pruning shrubs in spring or removing dead plant parts in autumn. For larger branches and woody plants such as lavender bushes, hand saws are ideal for preparing trees and shrubs for the cold season.

Other garden tools such as leaf blowers and snow shovels are naturally used in autumn and winter. Garden bags and composters, on the other hand, are practical little helpers for your gardening work at any time of year. Gardening professionals also use gardening tools such as seed pots, plant ties and plant tags for the chillies and tomatoes they grow.

Storage and Proper Care of Garden Tools

Whether it's a storage rack, garden shed or garden box - there is no right or wrong way to store garden tools. However, it is important to keep sharp objects such as rakes and rakes out of the reach of children and not leave them lying around in the garden. Small garden tools such as shovels and garden hoses fit easily on an ordinary storage shelf in the cellar or in the garden box on the patio, while larger tools such as lawn rollers or spreaders can be stored neatly in garden sheds.

Whether you are sowing, weeding or harvesting, the garden tools need to be cleaned after each use. This removes soil and moisture, which has a major impact on wear and rust formation. All tools should be stored in a dry and protected place. Tools with a hole in the handle are also great for hanging up. Sharpening blades and oiling moving parts also ensures that your garden tools last longer.
