Gardening Kits for Beginners
Gardening is like a hobby. Everybody likes gardening; it would be hard to find anyone who doesn’t like gardening. I have been gardening for many years; as I said before, I am from a farmer family, and my family used to have many g-ardens. In those gardens, my parents used to grow many kinds of vegetables and fruits. I have also been growing vegetables and fruits in my garden for almost ten years. First of all, many people believe gardening is a hard job. Believe me, it is not. If you want to start a garden in your home, first of all, you always have to start small. You cannot just jump into a big garden without proper experience and guidance; in the end, you will waste money and time. Now let’s talk about today’s topic. Today’s topic is gardening kits for beginners. Why do we need gardening tools? Well, gardening tools are the most necessary things for every gardener. You cannot just use your hands for digging; that will damage your hands. Because of that, we need gardening tools. There are actually many gardening tools that can help to grow various kinds of vegetables and fruits, and those tools are plant pots, shovels, wheelbarrows, gardening gloves, gardening boots, watering cans, trowels, hoes, and aprons.
1. Plant Pot
Plant pot is one of the most popular tools for gardening. Well, who does not know about plant pots? Everyone knows about plant pots. Not just experienced gardeners are familiar with plant pots; beginners are also familiar with plant pots. Do you know why people use plant pots for gardening? Space is the most important thing for fruits and vegetables. Many people lack space to grow various kinds of fruits and vegetables. For that, they have to use plant pots or containers to grow vegetables and fruits. Like I said before, I have a big garden at home, and sometimes I also have to face a lack of space; for that, I use plant pots. They are super adorable looking, and you can move them wherever you want. You can also hang them on the balcony as hanging baskets, which will make your balcony beautiful and charming.
2. Shovel
A shovel is a hand tool, and everyone is familiar with shovels. In America, a shovel is a very common item; you can find a pair of shovels hanging in the garage of almost every house. Basically, a shovel is very important for every gardener. If you are thinking about growing a garden at home, you must get a pair of shovels because they will bring you a lot of help. Shovels are used for digging soil or moving soil around the base. If you want to grow vegetables or fruits in your garden, you cannot just dig soil with your hands. If you do that, you will face lots of problems. For planting trees and vegetables, using a shovel is the best choice. By using a shovel, you can dig a hole in the ground more easily, and it will save a lot of time. As a beginner, you must get a pair of shovels before planting. From my experience, I believe it will bring you lots of benefits.
3. Wheelbarrow
Basically, a wheelbarrow is used for transporting heavy materials; in simple words, a wheelbarrow is a handy transporting tool. A wheelbarrow is a very useful tool. It is used for gardening and construction. It has two wheels in front and a handle in the back. For gardening, we have to transport many things such as soil and fertilizer. By using a wheelbarrow, we can transport soil and fertilizer from one place to another with less effort. As a beginner, we always have to work alone, and growing a garden alone requires lots of work. So, if you are a beginner, you must get a wheelbarrow before growing a garden. You can buy a good quality wheelbarrow from a store. From my past experience, I suggest you must get a wheelbarrow before starting a garden; trust me, it will save a lot of time and effort.
4. Gardening Gloves
As a beginner, gardening gloves are very important. When you are planting trees or vegetables in your home garden, wearing gardening gloves is essential. As I said before, while working in the garden, we can damage our hands, and gardening gloves help to prevent those damages. Suppose you are preparing soil for vegetables; in that moment, you can accidentally cut your hands. So, if you are a beginner in gardening, you must wear gloves to protect your hands. Also, during the harvesting season, we have to remove fruits and vegetables from the plant, and at that moment, we have to use a knife or sharp object for harvesting; we can also cut our hands while harvesting. So, not just as a beginner, you should always use gardening gloves for protection.
5. Gardening Boots
Just like gardening gloves, gardening boots are also very necessary for gardening work. Gardening boots can be found easily in stores or markets, and there are actually lots of benefits to gardening boots. Sometimes we have to collect soil from other land, and we do not know what that foreign soil may contain. Soil from other land may contain metallic things or pieces of glass, which can damage our feet while working in the garden. Therefore, we must wear gardening boots while working in the ground. Also, in the rainy season, working in the garden can be a tough challenge. If we use gardening boots in the rainy season, they will keep our feet clean and dry. They are also easy to clean; the waterproof surface can be easily cleaned and saves a lot of time. From my experience, I suggest you should always use gardening boots, not just as a beginner.
6. Watering Can
Watering can can be considered one of the most important tools in the garden. In America, you can find at least one watering can in the garden. Sometimes watering the plants or vegetables can be hard. Sometimes, without a watering can, you can give too much water to plants and vegetables. As I said before in another article, too much water can harm plants, causing yellow leaves and other unexpected issues. If you use a watering can to control water, you can provide enough water to your plants accordingly. You don’t have to worry about giving too much water to the plants. They are also super easy to move around. If you are growing plants indoors, you can just take your watering can inside and water your plants. They are super handy to use.
7. Trowel
Trowel is a small and very comfortable handy tool. There are actually lots of benefits to using a trowel. A trowel can also be considered an important tool for gardening. Sometimes we have to plant small trees in the garden, such as seedlings. For planting seedlings, we cannot just use a shovel. Technically, we use a shovel for making big holes, while a trowel is used for making small holes. For planting seedlings, we have to use a trowel instead of a shovel. A trowel can also be used for soil cultivation, weeding, mixing soil, etc. In some cases, a trowel can be super handy. All you need to do is go to the market and choose a trowel with a good grip.
8. Hoe
A hoe is actually used for the same purposes as a trowel; it just has a larger size. Sometimes we have to prepare soil for bigger obstacles. When we try to grow vegetables in a large area, we have to prepare soil, mix soil, and weed. We cannot just use a trowel for soil mixing; that would take too much time and energy. Using a hoe is the best choice. By using a hoe, we can do that work more easily, and it will require only a little time. As a beginner, you should also collect a hoe for future work.
9. Apron
Well, everyone is familiar with aprons. People often use aprons while cooking in the kitchen. But do you know that an apron can also be used for gardening work? There are pockets in an apron where you can carry many tools. While working in the garden, our clothes can get dirty. If we use an apron while gardening, it will save our clothes from getting dirty. So, I suggest you should also use an apron while working in the ground.
