A car mechanic always needs a tool box with basic tools for any mechanical issue with the car. A Doctor has an medical emergency kit just like a disaster management officer. To say it in different language, every professional or skilled labor needs his/her own tools kit suited for his Job.
Now you may ask, What does the organic farmer need?
1. Garden Rake
The first and among the most common tools is the garden rake. It is constantly on the use when you want to level your beds or when you want to remove grass, leaves and uneven materials on the bed. Leveling is so important before anything is sawn in your bed. The soils is made fairly loose and better aerates the soil.
2. Garden Fork
Another and yet very essential tool to have around your garden is the Garden Fork. This tool is excellent in penetrating into the soil and beds. It can be used especially when you want to lift potatoes easily from the soil without much or great toil. In addition, this tool is used when turning your compost.
3. Pruners
If you are a tomato gardener or a fruit grower, then a pruner is a must. Pruners can be used to cut the excess foliage or branches off the plants while maintaining them in the best shape and health.
Pruners allow for precise cutting and shaping of plants, which promotes healthy growth and improves overall plant structure. They help in removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches. Additionally pruners encourages new growth and flowering. Without pruners, garden routine work and maintenance would be less efficient and harmful to plants.
4. Garden Hoe
A garden hoe is one of the most necessary tools for gardeners because it simplifies tasks like weeding, cultivation, and shaping garden beds. It also helps to break up compacted soil and improving aeration. By using a hoe, you can efficiently prepare soil for planting and maintain tidy, healthy growing conditions with minimal physical strain.
5. Trowel
A trowel is a necessary tool when digging small holes, transplanting seedlings and mixing soil with manure. Its compact size and pointed blade allow gardeners to work in tight spaces or delicate areas without disturbing surrounding plants. Whether planting bulbs, removing weeds, or transferring soil to pots, a trowel offers control and efficiency, making it an essential tool for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
