Pruning Shears
This is another tool required no matter how you garden. A lot of cutting
and trimming jobs can be handled with a good pair of pruning shears. I
find them essential for harvesting herbs, fruits, and vegetables.They’re
also great for cutting thick stems and small branches. They’re
particularly helpful later in summer when vegetable stems and vines
are thick. I also use them at the end of the season when I’m cleaning
up and putting the garden to bed. They’re great for cutting down
plants for the compost pile.

Digging Shovel
If you’re gardening in your yard or a raised bed, you’ll find that a digging shovel is an
extremely useful tool. Not only can you use it to dig holes, it’s also great for transporting dirt
from a wheelbarrow to your garden without having to dump the whole load.Shovels are also
great for stirring compost piles or mixing potting soil before you add it to your containers. If
you need to create a garden or level ground, a sturdy shovel is perfect for turning dirt or
removing it. Look for pointed shovels, like the one pictured, for digging. If you find regular
shovels are too heavy, some designs are made of lightweight materials but are still perfect
for digging in gardens.
