Gardening can be an enjoyment but
a lot of hard work. Once you get the
basics under your belt, you can
begin to enjoy it and see the actual
results of the hard work you put in
to it. The first items to start a
successful garden are the
equipment and tools needed.

Gloves and Knee Pads
Gardening can be dirty work so gloves are a must.
Not only do they help keep your hands and nails clean,
but they can also be a form of protection. Exposure to
certain types of soil also can be an irritant to some people
and you can develop blisters, so it is important to
remember them for safety reasons.
If you are going to be spending a lot of time on your
knees in your new garden, it is a good idea to get some
for your knee. Either knee pads that you wear or the kind
of pad you lay on the ground and move around with you
as you work are a good investment.

Shovels and Spades
A shovel and a spade are two different types of tools
that are useful for dealing with soil. A round-nosed
shovel is good for heavy digging and mixing and is
best for preparing holes for planting.
You may also want to consider a spade shovel, which
has a pointed blade, for breaking through the soil
more easily. A square-nosed shovel is better for
scooping, leveling your garden area, and cutting
straight lines through the soil.

Hoes and Rakes
When working with soil that a hoe is great tool no
gardener should be without. It’s great tool for
digging up weeds and breaking up the surface of
the soil. A garden hoe has a large surface area that
is ideal for removing tough grasses.
A broad hoe is good for moving soil, weeding, and
digging trenches. A “shuffle” or “action” hoe has a
stirrup shape and works just below the surface to
cut weed stems.

Hoes and Rakes Continued
There are a few different kinds of rakes to consider
for any garden. A leaf rake has thin, flexible tines
for gathering leaves without damaging or pulling up
the plants you put
so much effort into planting.
A bow or garden rake has shorter, stiffer tines, ideal
for raking heavier materials. This rake can be used
for removing rocks or other debris from your garden
area and for smoothing out the soil before planting.

Hand Tools
Not all of your garden tools will be large and
cumbersome. There are a few smaller tools to also have
on hand. For planting flowers, seeds, and digging up
weeds you should use a trowel, which is like a miniature
spade shovel that fits in your hand.
A weeder, also called a digger, is a handy tool with a
large, flat head like a screwdriver. Weeders get under
the roots of garden weeds and pull them up, roots and
all, to ensure the pesky plants will not return. Also a
three-pronged fork is useful much like the garden rake
for smoothing out soil and removing rocks.

Hand Tools Continued
One of the best tools for a garden are pruners. Garden
pruners are great for cutting branches and weeds.
Bypass pruners are the most common kind found in a
gardener’s toolbox. These pruners are scissor-like and
are great for cutting small live branches, harvesting
vegetables, and cutting flowers.
Bypass loppers are similar to hand-held pruners except
with longer handles to reach branches on small trees
and shrubs.

Garden Carts and Wheelbarrows
Wheelbarrows or garden carts can be used for hauling,
leaves, weeds, heavy items like rocks and soil, and also
to mix soil or concrete. Wheelbarrows today are often
made with plastic, making them much lighter and easier
to maneuver, but are not as sturdy as traditional
barrows made with steel. You may want to consider a
garden cart for heavier loads as they are easier to
maneuver.
Last but not least you need water to make things grow
in your new garden, so investing in a decent garden
hose is a must. A 1/2” hose is sufficient and don’t forget
a watering can!

Part 1 Tools and Equipment Conclusion
With all of these tools, make sure you shop around to find
which one is best for you. Pick up and play with the tools in
the store to make sure they feel right, and also to make
sure they are made well. They shouldn’t feel too heavy or
bulky in your hands and handles shouldn’t wiggle before
the tools have even been used.
Again, these tools are just a basic idea to get you started,
so don’t jump for the fanciest and most expensive items in
the store. As you develop as a gardener, so will your
gardening tools.

Part 2 - Soil and PestsListen to Lecture
2012, Groovy Garden Girls
Soil
It is important to understand the type of soil you find
yourself with before any planting begins. There are three
different types: sand, clay and silt, and most have a
combination of some, or all of these types.
The term loam, is the soil itself. Keeping soil moist but not
overly saturated and not too dry is a key to keeping all soil
types healthy for planting. Sand has better drainage than
clay or silt, so it needs to be watered more.

The perfect garden mixture is preferably 40 % sand, 40 % silt, and 20 % clay.
