Useful Lawn Tools

There are several types of lawn tools that can make gardening and yard work much easier. And when gardening work is easier we find ourselves out enjoying our lawn or garden much more often. Here we will discuss some lawn and garden tools that can make certain jobs much easier.

A weed planter can make pulling weeds much easier. You may not mind squatting down to pull weeds, but if you find yourself putting off pulling a weed for some great weed pulling session, perhaps you’d benefit from the use of a weed planter. These nifty devices allow you to easily remove weeds without having to crouch or wrestle with weeds. If you have back problems a good weed puller is more like a must have.Some of the best gardening tools are made by Sneeboer, quality and worth it.

Lawn edgers help keep everything crisp and neat. Not only do edgers keep borders even and kempt, but can prolong the time you have before trimming excess growth in the garden. For the main lawn, edgers control grass growth of hardier strains, while keeping walkways safely clear of excess grass growth.

Aerators are a great way to easily aerate lawn and garden beds. There are simple straight forward aerators that are best suited for aerating lawns without breaking up the turf. These will also cut down on the formation of thatch. For gardens and flower beds I recommend something like the Garden Claw. These little things are awesome for their power and simplicity. I once used one to complete the entire first plowing session of a thirty by thirty foot double dug garden plot. It cut right through the thick grass as it crumbled the earth. Garden Claws are also excellent for weeding around garden plants.

Planters and waterers. These are important tools to have if you don’t have a lot of time to do everything manually. Planters can help shave off time if you have a busy planting schedule at different times of the year. For watering, you may wish to install a timed sprinkler system. If you have many garden or flower beds, consider using a daily timer. This is inexpensive, conserves water and your time!
