12 Essential Gardening Tools for Beginner and Advanced Gardeners
I love garden tools…so much so that I probably have about 40 in my shed right now. But as a beginner, you only need about 3 – a cutting tool, digging tool, and watering tool. As you expand your garden, you may want to get into long-handled tools or specialty tools, so I’ve also included those in this video. At the end, a bit of a bonus on how I sharpen my tools to keep them working for years and years.

The fork is the only essential tool that no one knows saves your back and mind. Trying to shovel mulch out of those 1 cubic yard bags with a shovel is almost impossible and takes forever. The fork saves a lot of work when working with wood mulch piles.
Please share where you get the raised metal beds

Why you going to name a tool after a virus?
I would love to get your opinion of the Cobrahead tool for weeding compared to the Oscillating Hoe. Long Handle Weeder & Cultivator Garden Tool – CobraHead . I can see the 10-Tine Manure Fork would move lot more faster & may get one.
Shovel, cutlass, garden hose, bucket. If you have these you're good to get started
I just want to know what's with the lone cuke in the background, lol.
Great video. I love to bake and I bake a lot of breads. Now, thanks to you, I can grow my own wheat like my native cherokee ancestors.
