Anyone who loves to garden putters around with at least one tool in hand. Each gardener may have his own choice of items but for each there are also a few essentials.

A shovel for digging is the most important item on your list. I t can be used for digging trees and shrubs. It can also help to plant perennials. A spade can be another useful item to help in smaller more established areas. A spading fork is a type of spade that allows you to loosen the hard soil for planting.

A hoe is useful for preparing the ground. It can help you manage those weeds that come in your garden. A mattock will let you dig around shrubs and trees. Both are indispensable when it comes to gardening.

For prying rocks out of your garden, be they big or medium sized, a prying bar is very good. This gardening tool will let you get those rocks out of your newly tilled bed without straining your back.

Backaches from moving heavy mulch or compost are common for gardeners. Getting a good wheelbarrow that can help with moving dirt can be a great asset and a back saver.

For creating beautiful fertile gardens good quality mulch, nutrient added compost and good dirt or soil is something that every garden needs. To give vegetables and herbs that added zing you should spread the mulch and the compost around the base of plants. This is of course where your wheel barrow garden cart comes in handy.

With all these tools at your disposal you might think that your gardening supply is complete. There is one more item that you need to add as it is very important. That is a watering system for your garden. You can use long nozzled watering cans to give your delicate seedlings a gentle flow of water, or you can use a garden hose where you adjust the nozzle head to give different settings allows you to water just about anything and anybody.

Having a variety of options lets you choose the right tool for the job. You don't have to spend a lot of money on your gardening tools and they should still be able to outlast your flowers.
