What must-have gardening tools do I need as a beginner?

[Navkiran Dhaliwal]

Hello all

I am just about to start my small home garden. At the moment, I cannot afford buying so many gardening tools. So, kindly suggest me only the most important tools as a beginner.

Hi Navkiran, I am thrilled to hear that you are about to start your own home garden! (Best decision you’ll ever make in my opinion 😉)
Right, so as a beginner you don’t need to invest in a lot of tools right away. Instead, focus on a few key items that will help you get started without breaking the bank.

These are tools I use almost every time I’m in the garden, and they’ll cover your basic needs as you start out:

– Hand Trowel: Perfect for planting and digging small holes.
– Garden Gloves: Protect your hands from blisters and dirt.
– Pruning Shears: Great for trimming and cutting plants.
– Watering Can or Hose (No explanation needed I’m sure!)
– Bucket: Any bucket will do. You’ll need one for collecting weeds, soaking seedlings, carting soil and much more!

I go into more detail in my article “7 Gardening Tools I couldn’t Do Without!” https://thepotagerproject.com/essential-gardening-tools/ if you would like to read more.
All the best with your new garden!
