Buying the first tools

old gardening tools

Something like this was the 'starter pack'

A start from scratch

Not many garden tools were needed in the city, so we had to start from almost scratch.

The previous owner of the house had left us a few useful things (a ‘starter pack’), but most of the things had to be acquired urgently.

To keep the garden maintained, a complete set of equipment had to be purchased.

I chose an electric, battery-powered set, so I can run all the tools (leaf blower, lawnmower, hedge trimmer, edger) from one battery.

In addition to these, of course, many hand tools were needed.


Here are 10 useful items you’ll need to keep your garden in great shape:

  1. Lawnmower – To keep your lawn trimmed and tidy, especially if you have a larger yard.

  2. Garden Hose and Watering Can – For watering plants, flower beds, and vegetable patches regularly.

  3. Pruning Shears – Essential for trimming bushes, shrubs, and flowers to maintain their health and shape.

  4. Rake – Helps collect fallen leaves, twigs, and debris, keeping the garden clean and aerated.

  5. Shovel – Useful for digging holes, planting trees, or turning soil in flower beds and vegetable patches.

  6. Wheelbarrow – Makes transporting soil, mulch, plants, and garden waste much easier.

  7. Garden Gloves – To protect your hands from dirt, thorns, and blisters while working in the garden.

  8. Compost Bin – For recycling organic waste (like leaves, grass, and kitchen scraps) into nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

  9. Weeding Tool – To efficiently remove weeds without damaging the surrounding plants.

  10. Fertilizer and Soil Amendments – To keep your plants healthy and ensure that your garden soil has the right nutrients
