The right basics make gardening easy
You don't need a shed full of gear — a few good tools and supplies cover almost every job. Here's the essential kit for a thriving garden.
Hand trowel
The most-used tool, for planting, transplanting, and working in pots. A sturdy trowel with a comfortable grip is indispensable.
A good spade or fork
For digging beds, turning soil, and mixing in compost. A strong spade and fork make ground work far easier, especially in heavy soil.
Pruning tools
A pair of quality secateurs keeps plants healthy by allowing clean cuts for trimming and deadheading. Essential for roses, shrubs, and tidy growth.
Watering can or hose
Reliable watering is the heart of gardening. A watering can suits pots and balconies; a hose (and reel) suits larger gardens.
Quality potting mix and compost
Healthy soil grows healthy plants. A good potting mix with compost gives plants the nutrients and drainage they need — far better than plain garden soil in pots.
Pots and planters
Choose pots with drainage holes, sized to your plants. A mix of sizes lets you grow everything from herbs to small trees.
Don't forget
- Garden gloves to protect your hands
- A hand rake or cultivator for weeding
- Plant food / fertiliser
- Mulch to retain moisture
