Rototillers and Other Important Landscaping Supplies

Before power equipment if you wanted to landscape your yard you had to use a shovel and a lot of muscle. Now, thankfully, their are many tools at our disposal that make landscaping easier than ever. One of my favorite tools is the rototiller. These powerhorses are perfect for turning up a garden that is up to an acre and will save you hours of backbreaking work.

I also have some other landscape supplies that I use in my own garden to make my life and gardening easier and more enjoyable. One of my favorites is my garden knife by Fiskars. This is one heavy duty piece of equipment. It is run by muscle, but it does multiple duties as a spade, a weeder, and a mini cultivator. If I could only have one hand tool this one would be it.

Another favorite of mine is my gardening gloves. I know this sounds mundane, but I am a wuss and don’t like getting my hands dirty. My favorite pair of gloves fit closely and have a rubber coating on the front side. If I am working on my roses then I also like to wear a pair of heavy leather gloves to keep my hands protected from the thorns.

And for trimming up the borders around the house nothing beats a strimmer. This garden tool is also known as a weed wacker and will save you hours of labor in trimming up the parts of the lawn that your mower misses.

Finally, I couldn’t live without a good pair of pruners. I have several dogwood bushes (both yellow and red) and find that they grow like crazy. I am out pruning them about 1 a month in the summer.

Modern landscape equipment is wonderful stuff and it can make your life a whole lot easier. From a rototiller to a pair of gloves it all helps to make your garden a pleasant place.
