GARDENING TOOLS & ACCESSORIES

Gardening tools and accessories encompass a wide range of items used to cultivate, maintain, and harvest gardens. These items facilitate various gardening tasks, from soil preparation to plant care and aesthetic enhancement.

Materials

Gardening tools are constructed from diverse materials, each offering specific benefits:

• Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, often used for tool handles and some tool heads.
• Wood: Traditional handle material, providing a comfortable grip. Requires treatment to prevent rot and splintering.
• Plastic/Polymer: Used for lightweight components, watering cans, plant pots, and some tool bodies. Offers affordability and resistance to moisture.
• Rubber/Ergonomic Grips: Applied to handles for enhanced comfort and reduced strain.

• Soil Preparation: Tools like spades, forks, and cultivators break up, aerate, and prepare soil for planting.
• Planting: Trowels, hand forks, and dibbers assist in creating holes and transplanting seedlings.
