The most basic collection includes a hoe or two, a trowel, a rake, an electric hedge trimmer and a two-wheel cart or wheelbarrow.
Damrosch suggests thinking about your tool collection in terms of function. Start with a very basic collection, and you’ll find that your tools can serve more than one function. Buy more specialized tools, such as a bulb planter, as the need arises.
For digging, planting and soil work, stock up on trowels, spades, pitchforks, spading forks and shovels.
For weeding, use a hand-held dandelion weeder and a hand fork for small tasks. Hoes, which come in a number of different shapes, take care of big jobs.
Maintenance tools include rakes. These range in shape from the familiar fan-shaped lawn rake with flexible talons to the simple bow rake.
Pruning tools also are key players in garden maintenance. And they come in a number of specialty shapes and sizes. Long-handled lopping and hedge shears handle big jobs — pruning trees and hedges.
For smaller chores, such as cleaning up odd twigs and small branches, use hand-held shears or branch cutters. Rower and fruit shears are perfect when you need something more delicate.
