What to consider when shopping for the best garden tools?
The best garden tools depend on your growing conditions and needs. For indoor gardening, besides grow lights, the only gardening tools you’ll likely need are pruning shears or shears to harvest what you’re growing. Likewise, outdoor container gardening doesn’t require much equipment beyond a hand trowel, watering can, and pruning shears. However, if you’re gardening outdoors in beds, you may need more lawn and garden equipment.
First, consider how to set up your garden: Planning your space is an important first step that has a lot to do with the success of your garden. If you’re clearing a meadow and planning to plant a vegetable garden, be mindful of the sun (or lack thereof) first, and make sure you pick a spot that gets a lot of sun during the day, and not too shady with lots of trees or shrubs, backyard furniture, or a fence.
Then check your soil: You can buy a soil test kit to help determine your soil’s pH and how much organic matter is in it. This can help you figure out what fertilizers or additives your yard’s soil might need to make it suitable for gardening, and you might need to add topsoil. You’ll also want to make sure there’s plenty of water in the spot you choose — you can water it manually with a sprinkler, drip hose, or with a hose.
Once you’re ready to plant, you’ll need a tiller (electric or manual), hand trowel, shovel or shovel, garden fork, hoe and maybe some cages or trellises (if you’re growing climbers like peas or tomatoes), Gardening gloves, and a few other optional items like your best wheelbarrow, garden rake, and knee pads. Consider a storage shed to store all your tools and protect them from the weather.
