A novice gardener can spend a lot of money on tools, materials and other equipment that he will never use.
If you don’t want to throw your “hard-earned” money to the wind, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , who told what will really come in handy when growing flowers.
Shovels, scoops and hole formers
Garden shovels and scoops will definitely come in handy during planting and transplanting, picking, fertilizing, adding soil... the list goes on and on. By the way, sometimes even children's scoops and old forks come to the rescue - depending on the skill level of the user.
Rippers
Rippers are usually rakes and garden forks, the purpose of which is to help the gardener loosen the soil and rake away debris.
Trimming tool
In this case, the type of tool directly depends on the plant you are going to trim with it. So, if we are talking about small specimens, you can cope with the task using household scissors, but pruning is required for bush roses, tree peonies and other flowers with powerful branches, you cannot do without pruning shears.
Garden knife
Such procedures as cutting, grafting, root trimming and cleaning cannot be imagined without a garden knife. The best option is a product made of high-quality carbon steel.
Picking sticks and pegs
You can buy sticks and pegs in a set, or you can use pencils, cocktail straws, sushi sticks, knitting needles or toothpicks - they are needed to form holes, make narrow depressions in the soil, organize support for climbing plants, etc.
