Welcome To Garden tools list
If you buy a good, well made garden tool then gardening will be a pleasure.If you
buy a tool that breaks or bends, the pleasure is replaced by frustration and disappointment.
Having worked as a landscape
mechanic repairing broken tools and servicing gardening equipment, I started this website to provide information
and advice about what makes a good garden tool. My aim is also to build a comprehensive garden tools list as many
people are unaware of the wide variety that is available to them.
As well as advice on tool buying,
we have tips on using the tools as well as suggested maintenance to keep them in top condition.
Garden forks and spades are a must have, for any digging tasks in the garden but which is the
right one for you? Do you need a border spade or a digging spade or both? We explain the
differences and the advantages and disadvantages of both.
We unravel the difference between different types of hoe and tell you why might need to add a
swoe to your garden tools list. Are hand cultivators and rakes a must have tool for your list? well possibly.
Why not take a look at our cultivating pages.
Secateurs or hand pruners come in three different types bypass, anvil and ratchet. We look at
all three and tell you how to maintain them and give you tips for buying. Need to prune higher than ground
level? We have some useful information on loppers and pole pruners in our pruning pages.
Lawns need looking after to help them stay green and lush.Regular clearing of leaves and
debris are part of that care. We look at the options available including fixed head and adjustable head lawn
rakes, leaf collecting tools and dethatching rakes.
Just for people with bad knees? Definitely not. We should all look after our knees and here we
look at the different types of knee protection available to keep our joints in good condition. From knee pads
to foam pads and kneeling benches theres something to add to everyones garden tools list.
We have some maintenance tips that will keep your barrow in good working order and take a look
at the different models available. Are Traditonal one wheeled barrows the only ones to consider before
purchase? or should you take a look at folding barrows?
Want to install a rain diverter or sharpen your hand tools? We show you how with our guides.
As well as text these contain pictures to help understand the process involved.
