Tools & Supplies

For most of us, the home garden is the epicenter of our attempt to live a greener life, and one of the few places where the only invited guest is nature itself. The things we grow there are the purest and safest possible. The problem is that the things we grow them with often aren't. Here are some ideas of how to help you stay away from toxic tools in the garden.

Most of the organisms that decompose organic matter are aerobic—they need air to survive. As the pile decays, the air inside the pile is consumed and the rate of decomposition declines. Bacteria that require less air to function take over. These bacteria work more slowly than aerobic bacteria. That’s why a pile that’s never turned and doesn’t have some other way of gaining access to air takes such a long time to decay. Learn the best techniques for introducing air into a compost.

Every flourishing garden needs constant care, and that’s where garden accessories come in handy. It’s the little things that make a big difference. This can be particularly true when it comes to gardening equipment.

Everything the perfect gardener needs for more comfortable and strain-free gardening! When it’s time to care for your spring blooms, you need the right gear. But before you pull on your gardening gloves, think about your needs. Whether you’re looking for a single gardening tool or the best sets for beginners, seniors, or options that the professionals use, this list of basic equipment might be helpful. If you collect together a basic kit of garden tools and sundries and keep them together in one place, you won't waste time looking for tools, borrowing them, or making do with implements not suited to the task. Treat yourself to a good-quality stainless- steel hand trowel and fork and buy a pair of secateurs that suit your hand size and grip. Having a range of sundries in stock also means you won't have to shop every time you feel the urge to garden. A garden shed, locker, or built-in storage space is ideal for keeping everything together. And today I’d like to share with you a list of essential tools and supplies for gardening.

Where would we be without our trusty gardening tools? But to get the best from them, we need to show them a little tender loving care. Treat them well and there’s no reason they shouldn’t last for many years. A regular maintenance routine keeps your garden tools in good working order and helps them last longer. Tools not only need to be sharp, but also clean and sterile. Tools that are exposed to plants or soil with bacterial, fungal or insect infestations can spread those problems throughout the garden. It only takes a few minutes after each gardening session to take care of your tools and protect your garden the next time they are used. Today I’d like to share with you a piece of advice for daily and seasonal care and maintenance for garden tools, including cleaning and storage. Check some simple ideas below to find out how to keep your gardening tools as good as new.
