There are 14 tools that are, in my opinion, essential for the backyard gardener.
1. Pruning shears - good pruners law, a gardener. They are indispensable. I have a holster for my so they are always by my side. I recommend the Felco brand expensive but last a lifetime and never let you down.
2. Wheelbarrow - During your life as a gardener, you will tons of earth, stones, compost and plant debris to move. In practice at the time of harvest to. ToYears I have used 5-gallon bucket. When I bought my wheelbarrow, before I really felt the power.
3. Spading fork - much digging to loosen the soil, potatoes and onions for several years. I prefer the D-treated. Also here is one of quality. I like the Ames True Temper with handle.
4. Garden Spade - Required for Double-dig, so you "slice" of the soil and keep the soil surface, without him over. On Leonord is of higher quality if you can afford.

12. WaterMagic wand - you can only water where you want. It is wonderful, the tomato water to the roots, without the leaves are wet.
