When working in summer cottages, a lot of gardening equipment is required, but it is pointless and expensive to acquire everything in a row. First, buy the most necessary, and as you transform the site and gain the necessary experience, you can buy the required. For example, there are such tools that cannot be dispensed with in the country.
Garden hose
A hose is required for watering plants. You will not need to carry water in buckets.
You can put a nozzle with a handle on the hose. Then it will not be necessary to periodically turn on and off the tap with water.
Shovel
To dig the soil in the garden, you need a shovel. There are combined models that include both shovel and bayonet.
Scoop is suitable for working with bulk materials, so you can purchase both copies separately.
Rake
They are useful for harvesting autumn leaves. A rake in the form of a fan is especially suitable.
And also with their help, you can break up compacted lumps of earth when digging. Another such inventory will help with the formation of dug up beds.
Secateurs
It is needed in the autumn and spring. The tool is used for various work in the garden.
There are different secateurs:
- with narrow blades use to cut flowers;
- for pruning dry branches, take a pruner with short handles;
- for processing bushes buy a tool with serrated blades.
The latter type will help to give a beautiful shape to any shrub.
Trimmer
This thing is useful for mowing lawns and garden paths. She will help to give a well-groomed look to your site.
The trimmer is capable of mowing grass in places where a regular lawnmower cannot handle it.
Wheelbarrow
Absolutely everything can be transported on a wheelbarrow: harvested crop, garbage, garden tools.
And you can also bring seedlings directly to the beds.
Pitchfork
When you need to collect potatoes, you will understand how much easier it is to do it with a pitchfork. The soil wakes up through the teeth, the potatoes remain on the forks.
They can also be used when transporting manure or dried leaves and grass.
Saw
When pruning thick branches on trees and shrubs, a saw will come in handy, as the pruner will not cope with such work.
Withered trees can also be cut with a saw.
You can not imagine a single cottage without tools. This set is needed for each gardener. If something is missing, you will soon feel it. Try to buy quality tools so they last longer. Nothing is worse when something breaks while working in the garden.
