8 Must-Have Gardening Essentials for Beginners

When we think of gardening, the first things which strike our mind are plants, shovels, watering cans, etc. However, there are many tools that you might be missing on! As beginners, you must understand that these garden tools help you plan and set new ones but also helps them keep in optimal condition. So, if you are ready to set up your own garden from scratch, here are the top 6 tools every beginner must have in their backyard.

 

  1. Mini shovels and forks – Mini shovels and forks are the primary needs of any home garden. These cute hand tools have short shafts and can be used for versatile gardening purposes. In addition, they are easy to store and travel with. 
  2. Gardening gloves – While gardening, your hands would be exposed to dirt, stones, chips, and chemicals (pesticides, fertiliser). Thus, it is always recommended to wear gardening gloves since using bare hands can hurt.
  3. Flower stands – Flowers add life to your garden. Thankfully, now you can decorate as many as flowering pots in one place with the help of flower stands. These are perfect garden tools for saving space since a single flower stand can hold many pots.
  4. Garden poles – If you plan to keep money plants or similar creepers, you must get a garden pole. This unique garden tool has perfect hexagonal cut-outs that enable even the plants' thick aerial roots to cling to the pole perfectly.
  5. Herb scissors – Herb scissors are as crucial as shovels and a fork. Using this small and handy tool, you can chop off unwanted or wilted branches of the plants. Also, you can use them to procure useful parts of the plant.
  6. Pest control spray – When you buy nice plants for the garden, you want them to thrive without being pest infested. Therefore, get a pesticide to spray on your plants once in a while. 
  7. Vermi compost – Vermi compost act as natural fertilisers that boost the soil's nutrients. This way, you can see your plants' optimal growth and health.
  8. Nutrient spray – Like vermi composts, a nutrient spray is a fertiliser formula often made from organic extracts. Unlike solid fertilisers, these come in an easy-to-use spray bottle that you can use once in a while.
