Garden Tools
Every gardener needs a good set of tools for the job. There are 
many to choose from for a wide range of tasks to get done and can make picking the correct ones a bit of a difficult thing to do. There are several key things to keep in mind prior to selecting your tools:
• Quality - often times it can really pay to pay the little bit extra and receive a great amount of durability and craftmansship. Consider what parts could be stressed and worn out quickly and if they are made of quality material.
• Price - remember to check out other competitive sources that carry similar products. Driving an extra mile or two can payoff in the end.
Tools that are commonly used for potting and gardening come in all shapes and sizes with a plethora of choices to select from in addition to all of the latest new technologies. Some tools are very necessity for preparing the ground like a hoe, shoe both flathead and spade, pickaxe, and a rototiller (the Mantis is great for small gardens with loose soil). Other essentials for difficult soil to break up or large areas would be to use a Bobcat with a toothed bucket. The Bobcat is agile and able to get into tight areas that ordinary tractors cannot.
Running a garden hose can be essential for loosening up ground prior to digging.
Once the ground is prepaired a small hand shuvel can be handy and helpful for lightly packing soil and accurately placing dirt around plant roots and building up small dirt walls to hold water.
