I love garden tools…so much so that I probably have about 40 in my shed right now. But as a beginner, you only need about 3 – a cutting tool, digging tool, and watering tool. As you expand your garden, you may want to get into long-handled tools or specialty tools, so I’ve also included those in this video. At the end, a bit of a bonus on how I sharpen my tools to keep them working for years and years.

Hand watering is just so relaxing to me and part of gardening to me ❤
So after I cut the grass with the hoe, what do I do with the cut grass…are you supposed to leave it there ?
If you like the Oscillation hoe, check out the Skidgear. I have both and I find the Skidgear shaper and works better on larger weeds than the oscillating hoe; the skid gear seems to slice better. They are both push-pull type weeders and have been so much nicer than bending down to weed.
I use a cultivator tool a lot. It’s the thing with 3 teeth in a triangle formation. It’s so good for breaking up the soil before planting and for getting all the weeds out. I rarely use my rake because the cultivator does a way better job and is easier to maneuver.
Truly enjoyable content!
