Spring came, and with it, cares in the garden plot. Without garden inventory, which includes a plastic drainage tray, you can’t do in any way, and it does not matter the owner of a private house or somewhere outside the city you have a summer residence. It is worthwhile to figure out which equipment is really needed, and what can be done, because going to the store for buying, it is better to know what you want and make your choice correct.
What to choose for work with the ground?
Perhaps the main work in a personal plot is work with the ground, especially in the spring and autumn. The first tool is simply indispensable for this – a bayonet shovel. Even if you have a cultivator, then there are areas that such a technique is not able to cover and a shovel will come to the rescue here, which you can dig up the right areas, or you just need to dig a hole.
Shovels are different, with a rounded blade and rectangular. With a rounded blade, they are more often used on solid soil and virgin lands, and a rectangular blade is more suitable for breaking loose soil, the same blade also has a snow -off aluminum shovel, which is used in winter to clean the snow. But it is important that the shovel is quite acute and durable, also make sure that the adhering wet soil does not remain on it.
As a rule, shovels are made of steel, titanium, aluminum and stainless steel, but a more standard option is considered to be a shovel of steel of good quality. This is a very important condition for the operation of the inventory for a long time, because if the steel is high -quality, then it will not bend, it will not need to sharpen it often, and besides this, good material is not lended to corrosion. If the quality of steel is bad, then all this will take place.
Shovels from stainless steel, as a rule, bend too quickly, so you can’t use them when working on solid ground. Aluminum shovels do not withstand critics at all, you should not buy them. The titanium shovel is very durable, but this type is real exotic, and its cost is too high, you are unlikely to want to buy so expensive inventory so expensive. In the case when it is necessary to overload various bulk materials, such as fertilizers or sand, you will need a gathered shovel. The bayonet shovel will not replace it in any way. It is not difficult to choose it, since it does not have any features.
No less necessary thing when working with the ground – rake. They are with soft teeth and hard. Soft flexible teeth are suitable for cleaning leaves or mowed grass. Well, the rake, having hard teeth, of course, use more to work with the ground. They are large with a long handle, which are convenient for processing a large surface at once, but are not suitable for working on flower beds or small beds.
There is another model to process such small areas – small, with a short handle. It is better if in your arsenal of garden equipment there will be two types of grab, but if there is no way, then select more convenient for you. At the same time, you need to take into account what work in your garden and in the garden will be larger.
