You have for once in your life decided you wish to establish a garden, you got the idea, and you got the right gardening tool for the right job. It's time to put your back into it now.

You will find that even while you are planting everything you might just not have the right gardening tool for the job you are busy with, as originally you just thought a spade and a rake were it. Very mistaken, until you started tilling the ground you realized you needed a garden fork and even a pick, just to help loosen those big stones under the ground you didn't see in the beginning.

So off you rush, because you wish to try and do as much as you could possibly do in one day, if not complete it. You tilled the ground, threw in the compost or foods required for the plants. You thought you were finished with the preparation work. Wrong again. Another gardening tool you think?

Yes, the hosepipe or the irrigation system or just the little watering can if your garden is small, then again you should have these before you started as the soil needed watering before you planted anything, and also to compact it again.

Maintenance For The Garden

Okay, so you've read the instructions on everything you bought to plant. What could be missing? You got the gardening tool for every job; you got the right plants and pots for whatever goes where and with what. Maintenance tools are what haven't been bought yet.

After a season or two you will find that you will have to go purchase the perfect gardening tool once again for maintaining all that you planted. You will need the loppers and saws for trees, secateurs for smaller shrubs and plants, the small rake and spade and of course the perfect lawn garden tool such as the lawnmower.

Your garden shed is also a very important gardening tool; well it depends on how important you see anything for that matter. It should ensure that all tools and your favorite gardening tool, the lawn mower, is stored safe and dry.

The lawnmower you choose should make your life so much easier, it should at least make mulch while you mow, this does save you time and money. Factors saved are time that you don't have to pick up the cuttings, and money that you don't need to buy compost in the future as the mulch turns into compost anyway.
