Picking out what you need, without buying useless tools youll never use, can be a challenge even to seasoned veterans.
There are many opinions on what the correct garden hand tools are to use and it can be difficult to take advice when you dont really know what you are looking for.
Hopefully this will help you break it down a little.
The most common garden hand tools, of course, are trowels, which look like little shovels, used to both turn earth and dig holes.
Available in various widths and lengths, they are a must for most gardens. For gardens with tight spaces, such as rock gardens, narrow long blades would be best.
Transplanting trowels are specially designed to help dig up and move plants already present in your garden.
Another common tool is the hand fork. These garden hand tools come in a variety of different shapes but, essentially, they do the same thing.
You can use them to dig weeds out between plants, and break up soil, similar to cultivators.
Their three prongs make them ideal for pulling out weeds, large rocks and clumps of soil. They are extremely useful for general garden maintenance.
A helpful tool to clean plants with minimum resulting damage is the hand rake. This is a smaller version of the larger tool, usually used for leaf raking.
The flexible tongs are useful for things like removing debris without damage to the plant stalks.
