How to choose gardening tools

Gardening is a great hobby and having the right tools will make the work easier and set you up for success. The basic gardening tools you need depend on the type of garden you have.

Spades & Shovels

For digging in a garden, a spade is the best choice. They’re ideal for creating defined landscape borders. However, if you’ll be digging large holes for transplanting trees or shrubs, you’ll need a shovel. A shovel is also required for moving loose materials like gravel, garden soil and mulch.

Garden Trowels

A garden trowel is essential for digging smaller holes and for transplanting or for moving small amounts of soil into containers. They help with weeding, smoothing soil and gardening in tight spaces.

Cultivator

When you need to till and aerate hard, rocky soil, a cultivator comes in handy. These tools are available in manual versions and power versions, for large spaces.
