Selecting the Right Gardening Tools for Your Needs
It is hard to improve on the design of many gardening tools. While the base designs might not have changed, there have been amendments made in recent years. For instance, it's possible to buy garden hoes with plant protector panels on them.
Of course there is a never-ending effort to produce new materials. The trend in this area concerns new metal alloys and composites, and each has its benefits. Yet despite being made of cheaper materials, there are times when these tools can be priced as much as higher quality tools. Of course, for better performance and durability, try to find high quality gardening tools made of stainless steel.
Do You Know Your Tools?
If you're unfamiliar with some common names for tools are misused or mistaken. There is the shovel and the spade, and very often people will misuse their names. A spade is the right tool to use if you need to dig into hard soil. By comparison, a shovel is designed to scoop up loose dirt with its wider, flatter blade. Sometimes you will see a spade that has a handle in the shape of a D.
In that case, it can be handy to also use it to scoop materials. Ideally, the spade or shovel you choose should be made from forged metal You will find some made of pressed metal, but these are more likely to bend. The wheelbarrow has many great uses, and it is a perfect tool for using in the garden.
The Best Type Of Wheelbarrow
For gardening, a wheelbarrow with two wheels, and two handles is probably best. As you work in your garden, or lawn, you will realize what a valuable tool you have in a wheelbarrow. In building a garden, one of the essential tools is the wheelbarrow for its hauling ability.
Moving dirt is one of those things that always needs to be done when doing your new garden. When you weed your garden, put the weeds in the wheelbarrow, and haul them away.
Do You Have A Large Garden?
If you have a large garden, or want to make one, then the soil crumbling tool will do a great job in preparing your soil. A soil crumbling tool lets you break down hardened soil to a much finer level to improve soil quality for planting.
A crumbling tool can also allow you to add compost to your soil at the same time as preparing it for planting. As you crumble soil and add compost, this will aerate the soil, which is a crucial key step for any successful garden.
There is a range of designs available for crumbling tools. You might also want to add extra attachments that can make sure you dig at the same depth all the way across.
There are so many helpful garden tools available that can make gardening simpler. Choose tools that will simplify the tasks you need to get done and you'll be rewarded with gorgeous gardens overflowing with healthy plants and flowers.

What's the cheapest way of covering a large garden?
I have a rather large garden which is on a slope and was wondering what is the cheapest way of covering it? Grass is out of the question because it's an awkward shape and on a steep slope
Depends on your climate and the specifics of the location, but some good general choices might be ice plant or some kind of ivy.

Large Garden Designers – Make sure you hire a design expert
In a small garden design mistakes are relatively easily rectified. It is irritating to discover that the designer did not take account of the fact the sun in the northern hemisphere moves from east to west, but you don't need to change the sun, just the position of the bench.
In a large garden, a designer's mistakes can be catastrophic. Ripping out an old hedge could allow a sheltered garden to be flattened by gales. Felling trees without due regard to the effect on the water table could flood a carefully designed sunken herb garden. Earth-moving done without due regard to the soil could leave you with all the topsoil deep underground and a barren waste of subsoil at the surface. Garden and landscape designing has become a growth industry and it is vital to employ someone who has a proven track record.
Above all, judge your designer by what they have already done. Try to find examples of large gardens which she designed five or more years before and judge her by these. A freshly designed garden will look just that – fresh. It may have new lawn turf laid on a poor surface, which will look fine for a year, but not for five. In any garden design, large or small, the designer should have an awareness of the future development of the garden; she should have a plan for its five or ten year development; she should be able to provide artist's impressions of how high the trees will grow, how wide the hedges, how quickly the bulbs will naturalise in the grass. A design is not an immediate answer; it must be sustainable.
If you would really prefer to give a younger designer who is just setting out a chance to show what he can do, make absolutely sure that he has served a proper apprenticeship with a well-known and experienced expert. Employing a younger and less experienced designer could be terrifically exciting and successful (how old was Lutyens when he started working together with Gertrude Jekyll?) but make sure that she is very fully qualified and has a strong understanding not only of horticulture but of geology and hydrology – these are the areas where the worst catastrophes can occur.
Above all, make every attempt to speak to other people he or she has worked for. If they have been fully satisfied, they are likely to be happy to talk about it!
