Hello Friends!

In today’s episode, let’s look into a bunch of must have gardening tools to make

your home gardening tasks much easier and productive, no matter what you are gonna plant

in your containers.

Coming up!

Well!

Here’s a list of useful gardening tools, especially for home and container gardening

that will certainly make your life easier!

Please watch till the end!

1.SELF WATERING NEEDLES: These inexpensive drip needles are quite simple

but a powerful system for slow and self watering of potted plants.

Just thread in any standard water bottle into this device – It easily fits most international

standards bottles such as coca cola bottles, sprite bottles, pepsi bottles and so on.

Cut the top of the bottle and insert this into the container close to the plant and

fill it with water.

Adjust the 360 degree drip flow knob to get desired flow of water or drops per minute

depending on the watering requirement of you plant and there you have it.

This is very useful especially if you are on a vacation for few days.

2.ELECTRIC PRESSURE SPRAYER: Depending upon the size of your home garden,

you can choose a hand held 2.5 litre rechargeable electric sprayer or a 10 litre knapsack electric

sprayer that works on 12V DC and a rechargeable battery.

Or if your garden is even larger, you can connect a 12V DC pump to a garden hose and

use a multi-mode sprayer gun like this and use the misting mode to spray your pesticides

and foliar feeds.

Using manual sprayers is cumbersome and lacks that ideal pressure needed for spraying pesticides

and also they are not durable.

3.GARDENING GLOVES: Protection First!

You can either purchase multiple pairs of inexpensive gloves like these or a pair of

good quality gardening gloves with claws in right hand.

These not only protect your hands from dirt, thorns and even harmful insects, but also

replace trowels and hand rakes for digging, raking and planting.

4.GRAFTING TOOL: Grafting is actually made so easy with this

tool.

A Neat and Sharp cut is essential for a successful grafting.

This tool comes with U-cut and V-cut blades and a pruner or cutter at the tip.

You can save a lot of time and increase the success rates of your grafting.

Just punch the tool on the root stock first and then on the scion branch and this fits

in so perfectly and healing happens much faster than compared with manual methods like using

a grafting knife and stuff like that.

5.WATERING CANS: Depending on the size of your garden, you

can choose either small watering cans like these ranging from 2 litres to 5 litres – plastic

or metallic cans.

Fancy Metallic cans like this will have an advantage of no leaks from the nozzle sides

while watering unlike the plastic cans which leak from joints while watering.

This is a must have tool even if you have a garden hose, specially for watering seeds

and seedlings with the fine showering action.

6.WATERING HOSE: Invest on a good quality flexible rubber watering

hose pipe to avoid those irritating kinks from a poor quality hose and have a peace

of mind while watering your plants.

This great quality hose comes in half an inch or Three-fourth inch calibre to opt, depending

on the pressure of your home water supply or the floor you live in.

It also comes with an optional retractable reel if you want more peace of mind.

7.FALCON EASY PLANTER: This is a very handy tool for digging holes

at 5cm and 10cm and very useful for transplanting and planting bulbs, root balls and plants.

Simply place this planter tool on the soil, twist and push down to create your hole and

then lift out.

Drop your bulb or the plant into the hole and by the press of a button, the soil is

then released automatically.

It's that easy!

You can also use this to transplant small plants and seedlings quickly and efficiently.

8.Heavy Duty Garden Spade or Shovel: This is the classical Indian spade.

This is very important if you are preparing your own DIY potting mix to thoroughly mix

all ingredients in proper proportions.

9.3-in-1 SOIL PH METER: This is a great inexpensive must have gadget

to check three things in your garden.

Most importantly to test your Soil PH which is one of the most important factor for nutrient

absorption by the roots.

This also tests your soil moisture level to avoid over watering or under watering your

plants.

Plus it has a light meter to check the light levels for your plants.

10.A SMALL CROWBAR OR WRECKING BAR: This is particularly useful for ground gardening

like for digging pits, removing obstacles and similar stuff.

11.TWIST TIE: This is another must have stuff specially

for tying your plants to supports.

Twist on, twist off and Reuse the same year after year!

12.SOIL SCOOPS: This is so handy - like if you do not wish

to get your hands into the dirt.

What you see here is just a steel rice scoop and serves the purpose of a soil scoop while

repotting plants.

13.Garden Trowel: This tool is a miniature version of a garden

spade.

It is used for mixing soil, digging a hole, transplanting seedlings, levelling out soil

and even dividing tubers.

It can also be used for scooping out compost or potting mix from the bag specially while

repotting your plants.

14.Garden Rake, Fork, Cultivator and Weed Removal Tool:

At home gardening level, all these are smaller tools that serve the purpose of raking or

making your top soil loose for preparing or aerating the soil before planting seeds or

seedlings and also before or after applying fertilizers.

The deweeder tool is handy in removing small weeds from root level.

15.PRUNERS AND CUTTERS: There are various types of pruners and cutting

tools in gardening ranging from floral snips to hand pruner, pole pruner, garden saw, hedge

shears to a simple tool like a scissor.
