What garden hand tools do I need?

Though different tasks and types of garden will require different equipment, there are a few basics that everyone should have in their shed. Digging tools, such as trowels and spades, are essential for planting, weeding, and turning over soil. A good pair of pruners and tree loppers will mean that you can cut back, shape and dead-head plants and shrubs of every size. Brushes, rakes and wheelbarrows are helpful for keeping lawns and patios clear, while a compost bin will mean that you have somewhere to put debris and dead leaves.

How to look after garden hand tools

Garden tools should be kept in a watertight shed, storage box or garage to keep rust at bay. Ensure any blades are sharpened annually to keep secateurs and tree loppers working their best - this will also help them to last much longer. If your tools need a clean from time to time, this can be done with warm soapy water and a cloth. Take care of any sharp edges and leave to dry in a sunny space before storing again.
