Tips on the right utensils for your garden
Can Juanito is a professional in the field of horticulture and plants. In addition to the right choice of plants, the right
tools are important and make life easier for every hobby gardener. Read here what you absolutely need and how to use the tools from a professional. There are many tools that can be used. Here we will recommend the ones that are essential. To do gardening well, it is important that the tools are in good condition.
Start with the hoe: we recommend that if you do not want to turn the soil often and work a lot, you buy a small double hoe with which you can loosen, turn and prepare the soil for sowing (after working the soil a little deeper and adding organic matter). There are several options, depending on the type of work and the soil you need to work. If the soil is very stony, you can opt for the hoe and pickaxe option to work the soil well.Tree shears are often indispensable: They are essential for pruning in the fall, harvesting in the spring and for mending plants that need pruning. There are an infinite number of models, and depending on the type of plants in your garden, one model or another may be more suitable. The models depend on the thickness of the plants, whether they are woody or green.
If you need to trim hedges, it is important that you have a large pair of secateurs.
The classic, the rake: they are comfortable and easy to handle and you don't have to bend down to use them. There are an infinite number of models, but the best is one where you can replace the handle, as they are usually made of wood and can become damaged over time. Although there are a variety of tools available, the last one that is virtually indispensable is a spade, which makes it easier for you to remove the soil for sowing. They are comfortable and ergonomic, and on soft ground they are very easy to handle. There are wide and narrow shovels, depending on the size of the plants to be sown, but both can be adjusted.
As a final but important recommendation for operating garden tools, it is always a good idea to use a good glove to protect your hands. You have the choice between leather, nitrile or fabric.
To prolong the life of your tools, they should be cleaned and dried well after use to prevent them from rusting. Ideally, they should be stored in a cupboard so that they are not exposed to the weather.
Two brands that we work with at Can Juanito and that we recommend due to their durability are Stocker and Outlis Wolf.
In the nursery we can help you choose the tool that best suits your needs.
