Gardening Tools – The Most Important Gardening Equipment You Will Own
Garden Sifter by Powder House is one of their famous lines and is easily one of their best selling products ever. The founder, Mike Johnson, was a journeyman garden technician who put together a small shop in rural Bend Oregon that sold just about everything imaginable, garden tools included. After retiring in 1990, he started a new company that would change his life forever.
Garden Sifter by Powder House was originally just a snow blower that was intended to be used around the house, but soon after it was realized it had so much more to offer than just a snow blower. The tools are designed to handle almost any job from cutting sod to grading an entire yard, as well as, planting new grass and trees. All of the gardening equipment they sell can be used for other landscaping projects as well. If you have a smaller yard you may want to use a push mower, but for larger yards, you will want something more like the Garden Sifter.
This garden tool is the heart and soul of any modern vegetable garden. It comes in many sizes with many different functions, from simple to the power tool that is the Garden Sifter itself. This sifter can take care of a multitude of jobs that might otherwise be overwhelming for even the most seasoned gardener. With its large capacity, it can also handle hundreds of plants, if that is what you intend to plant in your yard. In fact, this equipment is so versatile, it can do practically anything with a larger more powerful garden tool can.
Garden Sifter comes complete with a variety of attachments that can be used for landscaping, trimming, excavating, or just for moving dirt around. It is also equipped with skid proof wheels to make sure the sifter remains where you put it. The garden sifter is also lightweight and compact so that it can be easily stored or carried by hand. This tool can dig through the soil, dirt, rocks, grass, leaves, twigs, sticks and numerous other garden debris. Its sturdy metal frame allows it to remain stationary in any type of surface it lands on, including gravel, sand, concrete and asphalt. It will not damage these materials when it is in use and its narrow openings make it very easy to dig through.
This is a must have garden tool for anyone with a yard or garden. The ability to remove rocks, twigs, roots, plants, limbs and flowers without having to physically disturb them is an advantage this sifter has over its competitors. Most shovels will dislodge rocks and garden debris, but the sifter is so much better because it is so much sturdier. The narrower opening also keeps weeds from growing into your garden’s soil.
These 2 tools sprinkler and weed eater are one in the same. They both perform similar functions and are used when working in soil. These gadgets are sold at most garden centers and range from cheap to fairly expensive. If you spend enough time gardening you may want both. The cost will depend on the size, material and quality.
The last of the garden tools we will discuss is the garden hose, which is also known as a garden hose reel, garden snake, garden spike and a garden trimmer. The hose is a common tool but it can get the job done faster. It uses gasoline or propane and sometimes both to reach the high areas where other equipment may not be able to go. It is a very reliable equipment because it is one of those gadgets that sprays a steady stream of water all the way from the nozzle.
Garden tools are not cheap. You can usually find some coupons and other discount offers by visiting your local hardware store, or by looking online. I have found that buying a few tools from different suppliers at a time will keep you from overspending. This way you don’t end up having to replace your equipment too often. When buying your equipment, make sure that you check the expiry date on all your spares and tools. If you can’t find what you need at the local hardware store to ask them for a price match or a reduced price.
