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.

  • 1.Hand trowel-used for loosening the soil around the growing plants.
    2.water hose-a flexible tube which Carrie water and is used to water plants.
    3.rake-is used for cleaning the ground and leveling the topsoil use for collecting dried leaves,grass and dirt.

  • 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.
