Must have tools every gardener needs
Garden Shears
This is an absolute must-have for any indoor or outdoor gardener. Whether you just need to trim some excess growth off your fern plant or just need to tidy up your flower bushes, garden shears will make quick work of smaller vegetation.
Loppers & Pruners
Loopers or pruners are used more for thicker branches and stems requiring a stronger force to cut through them. These are great for gardeners that have trees or larger bushes that need to be trimmed down for safety reasons or for the plant's health.
When looking for a bypass pruner, be sure to find one with strong steel blades with a locking mechanism.
Trowel or Shovel
Gardening often requires some digging, so a basic hand trowel and shovel should give you all the digging tools you need to accomplish general gardening tasks.
Depending on your need, shoves come in various sizes like long-handled shovels.
Garden Hoes & Weeding Tools
Nobody wants invasive weeds in their beautiful flower garden. Garden Hoes make it easy to de-root and completely remove them from your garden beds.
Garden hoes also come in many styles. There are long-handled dutch hoes that push only. They also have weeders with a push-and-pull action. This allows the hoe blade ot go under the root zone whipping them out.
Gloves
This might be an obvious one, but keeping your hand in healthy condition is important to our overall health and well-being.
What are pruning shears used for?
During vegetative growth, you will need to regularly remove fan leaves that prevent lower branches and foliage from receiving light. This leads to more even and efficient growth. Pruning shears are designed to make this process as easy as possible for you.
Why prune your plants?
A common practice for growers is topping their plants. This consists of cutting off the dominant shoot, which will commonly grow faster and taller than the rest of the plant. By doing this, energy can be spent more evenly on growing the rest of the plant.
Pruning leads to a wider, bushier appearance, and more bud sites.
What are the best pruning shears?
At Hydrobuilder, we carry a range of reputable brands. Anything sold on our site is a quality product, or it wouldn’t be here. With that said, the best pruning shears are the Shear Perfection, Fiskars, and Corona lines.
