What Accessories Do You Need To Create A Beautiful Garden?
Do you enjoy the gardening lifestyle? Many in Benton and Washington counties do. Every Spring, determined green thumbs are on a mission to design and create their masterpiece garden for the new season.
If the thought of digging in the soil gets you up in the morning or planting flowers that beautify your home. Or ripping it all out and starting all over, the only thing left to do is make a wish list of gardening accessories you’ll need.
Before You Begin, Here Is Your First Step
With any outdoor gardening project, we recommend planning it first. There are areas of your landscape where a garden should not go. For instance, you’ve chosen a place where sunlight is limited or has too much shade, heavy foot traffic, a large pest population, or poor soil.
So, before you start searching for garden accessories, walk your property. Note what times of the day there is adequate sunlight. Test your soil to uncover any toxins, invasive pests, or high levels of harmful chemicals. Once you’ve picked the right place, you’re ready to move forward.
What Gardening Accessories Should You Consider?
If this is your first time putting in or setting up your garden, there are different accessories and supplies you’ll need. Now depending on what you’re planting will determine the types of accessories to look for and buy.
For plants, you’ll need seeds. Those seeds need plant food and other supplies to help them germinate and grow. For trees and shrubs, you’ll need saplings. Those saplings will also need food supplies to help them take root quickly and adapt to their new environment.
What Gardening Tools Should You Consider?
For starters, you do not need every tool a home improvement center sells. Only purchase what you will use immediately. Over time, and as your plants grow, the need for additional tools will become clear. A perfect example, you don’t need a chain saw if you’re planting a sapling.
Initially, you can start with these essential tools:
- Gloves
- Pruning Shears
- Loppers
- Spade
- Garden Fork
- Hand Trowel
- Rake
- Hoe
- Water Can
- Wheel Barrel
- Water Hose
- Adjustable Nozzle
Each of these tools is available at most hardware stores, home improvement, or garden centers. However, if you prefer to shop for these tools online, read the reviews, the product descriptions, product spec information, and if the manufacturer provides a warranty and support.
