Gardening equipment is something every gardener needs. At least that's what we all say when we rush off to buy that handy new extra-light shovel that just went on sale! However, not every gardener has all the tools, or even the right ones necessary, and most gardeners will just make do with what they have. Most of the time improvisation is the key.

But there are a few basic tools that you will need to grow a garden. A rake, a hoe and a shovel are all pretty important. Pruning scissors are also very helpful and you should get yourself a quality pair.

Over the year, I've amassed quite a collection of equipment, to the point of not having room for them all in my shed. But out of all those tools, my favorites are an old pair of comfortable gloves and my trusty kitchen knife.

If my pruning scissors aren't handy, the kitchen knife takes their place quite well. If my shovel and hoe aren't within reach, the tip of the knife usually does the job. And sometimes I don't even go that far and just use my hands to dig the soil.

It probably sounds like a fairly sloppy way to go about your gardening, but every dedicated gardener knows that if you're knee deep in the middle of something, the last thing you'll want to do is to interrupt your work to fetch the proper gardening equipment from your shed.

Having said all that, some jobs really are easier with the proper equipment and it may be worth the time to fetch. One of my other favorites is the garden claw.

I've got two different types - one for kneeling work and one for standing up. I just stick the claw into the dirt, give it a twist and pull it back out. It does a great job of loosening the soil and is particularly helpful for pulling weeds.

What you need to remember about garden equipment is while you might really want a piece of equipment, you probably don't really need it. Stick with the basics and you'll still have lots of fun and enjoyment from your garden.
