Last year I wrote a post on Amateur Gardening on the 10 Most Important Gardening Tools and a few of you offered your own lists. Well, it’s now time to get the axe sharpened, the chopping block cleaned and your list out because we’re going to whittle it down to the 3 gardening tools you couldn’t live without.
Here they are;
- Wheelbarrow Without one of these you couldn’t do it. If you decide that you want to try without it make sure you type physiotherapist into Google and jot down a few numbers to keep handy.
- Shovel Goes without saying really!
- Secateurs Think of a garden tool and what do you get. A gardener without their pair of secateurs is like Mork without Mindy, or tinia without a toe!
What? No lawn mower. If I could only have 3 tools I would just create my garden without lawn and plant lawn substitutes that didn’t require mowing.
There are a lot of tools that I would love to have but to limit it this would have the basics.
I have to agree on the wheelbarrow and secateurs, but I’m tossing up between a spade and a digging fork (both on the small size with handles only a metre or so long). I use the fork for loosening soil, spreading mulch and compost, digging out weeds, etc. even for loading compost at times.
Your right about the wheelbarrow especially if you have a garden of any size.
