The ten most essential tools for vegetable gardening are:
- spade
- fork
- trowel
- hoe
- potting compost
- watering can
- measuring tape
- labels
- string
- bamboo canes
Some of the items on the list can be substituted with cheaper or more easily available options. For example, sticks blown from trees in the wind can be used for marking seed rows instead of bamboo canes, but it is always useful to have a few bamboos in store, just in case nothing else can be found.
Similarly, the soil making up mole hills is often used for planting seeds. But potting compost gives more reliable results.
Vegetable gardeners soon learn which tools they rely on, and build their own list of their ten favourite tools.
