Whoever is ultimately a gardener loves Potter around the garden with at least one of their gardening supplies in hand. For every gardener the list of gardening supplies varies. There are however a few gardening supplies that are staples for every gardener.
For digging a shovel is the most important tool in your gardening supply list. With a shovel you can dig trees and shrubs on. Perennials can be transplanted with the aid of your shovel. A spade is another item that works well in gardening supply list. A spade will allow you to work in small areas like a well-established garden. Another type of fork that you can use your supply list is that of the spading fork. This tool lets you dig in hard soil and open the soil for planting.
To cultivate the ground a hoe is a vital tool. The hoe will dig those hard to get weeds for you. While a mattock on the other lets you dig around trees and bushes. Both elements are essential power gardening.
For prying rocks out of your garden, whether large or medium sized, a prying bar is very good. This gardening tool will let you get those rocks out of your bed recently worked without straining your back.
Back pain can be part of your gardening routine if you put the mulch, compost or even dirt around in your garden. The answer to this is to have a wheelbarrow in your gardening supply. It should however get a wheelbarrow that will work well or you will collect dirt from the ground.
For creating beautiful fertile gardens good quality fertilizer, nutrient added compost and good dirt or soil is something that every garden needs. To vegetables and herbs that added zing you should spread the mulch and compost around the base of plants. This is of course where your wheel barrow garden cart is useful.
With all these tools available, one might think that gardening supply is complete. There is an element that must be added as it is very important. This is an irrigation system for garden. You can use watering cans long spout to give your delicate plants a gentle flow of water, or you can use a garden hose where you adjust the nozzle head to give different settings allows you to virtually nothing and no water.
As you can see having a gardening supply that is varied will let you choose the right tool for your gardening needs. These elements should not be the expensive variety, should only last a reasonably long time, even more than your perennials!

Wild-Flower Garden
A wild flower garden has a most attractive sound. One thinks of long tramps in the woods, collecting material, and then the fun in fixing a real sure wild garden. Many people say they have no luck at all with such a garden. It's not a question of luck, but a question of understanding, for wild flowers are like people and each has its personality. What kind of plant is used in nature they will always have been. In fact, when he removed his own kind of living conditions, ill and died there. That is enough to tell us that we are copying nature. Suppose you are hunting wild flowers. How to make sure flowers from the forest, select the floor they are noted in the location and conditions, the environment, and the neighbors. Suppose you find dog-tooth violets and wind-flowers growing near together. Then put them into their own new garden. Suppose you find a certain violet enjoying an open situation, then it should always be the same. You see the point, right? If you want wild flowers in a garden grow tame feel at home. Cheat them into almost believing that they are still persecuted in their native language. Wild flowers should be passed is transplanted after flowering. Take a trowel and a basket into the woods with you. How do you take a few, a columbine, or a hepatica, you should know the roots of some of the plant's own soil, which are packed on them must take if replanted. should go to the bed in which these plants carefully before this trip will be prepared by you. Surely you will not want to bring the plant back to service during the day or night before planting. You should go to new quarters at once. The bed needs soil from the forest, deep and rich and full of leaf mold. Which was awarded under drainage system. Then plants are not logged in ground water to go. Some people think that all wood plants should have a soil saturated with water. But the forest itself are not logged waterproof. It may be that you have to dig your garden up very deeply and put some stones into the ground. should go in this upper floor. And above, where the top soil once was, put a new layer of rich soil you brought from the forest. Before planting water the soil well. Then, as you make room for the plants in each hole put some of the earth, the plant, which will be placed there too. I think it would be a pretty nice plan, a wild-flower garden giving a series of flower from spring to late autumn, so let's start with March, hepatica, spring beauty and saxifrage. Then comes April bearing in his arms the beautiful columbine, the tiny flowers and wild geraniums. For May, the dog-tooth violet and the wood anemone, false Solomon's seal, Jack-in-the-pulpit, wake robin, bloodroot and violets. June will give the bellflower, mullein, bee balm and foxglove. I would choose the gay butterfly weed for July. Let the turtle head, aster, Joe Pye weed, and Queen Anne's lace make the rest of the season brilliant until frost. Let us a little about the likes and dislikes of these plants. Once you started once you are adding to keep this wild flower list. There is no one who does not love the hepatica. Before the spring has really decided to come, comes this little flower of his head and puts everything in the shade. Tucked under a covering of dry leaves the blossoms wait for a jet of warm sunshine to bring them out. These embryo flowers are protected by a fuzzy covering. This is reminiscent of a similar sleeve, the new fern leaves have. In the spring had a hepatica plant wastes no time getting on a new suit of leaves. It makes its old do until the blossom has had its day. Then the new leaves, started before this, have a chance. These delays are willing to help next season. Related liverworts grow in clusters, sort of family groups. You will probably be found in rather open places in forests. The ground is found to be rich and loose. They were to go only in partly shaded places and under good soil conditions. If planted with other woods, copies them the advantage of a rather exposed position, that they can catch the early spring sunshine. I should be starting over with a liverwort small drop in autumn leaves. In the last days of February when the weather is extreme take this leaf for themselves. You can find the hepatica blossoms all ready to dump their heads. The spring beauty hardly allows the hepatica in advance to her. With a white flower, the graceful curves of pink, a thin, wiry stems and narrow, grass-like leaves can bloom this spring not to be confused. You will find spring beauties growing in great patches in rather open places. Planning a number of the roots and allow the sun good opportunity to reach her. For this plant loves the sun. The other March flower mentioned is the saxifrage. That belongs in a completely different type of environment. It is a plant that grows in dry and rocky places. It is often found in crevices of rocks. There is an old story to the effect that the saxifrage roots twine about rocks and work in them, so that the rock itself splits. Anyway, it's a rock garden plant. I have it in dry, sandy places right on the border of a large stone. It has white flower clusters borne on hairy stems. The columbine is another plant that is very likely to be found in rocky places. Standing below a ledge and looks, one sees here and there, nestled in crevices of a plant or more of columbine. The nodding red heads bob on wiry, slender stems. The roots are not deep into the ground, yes, often barely cover the ground it. Well, just because the columbine has little soil, it is not to say that it is indifferent to soil conditions. For it has always lived, and should continue to live, under good drainage conditions. I wonder if it has come to you, how really hygienic plants are? Lots of fresh air, proper drainage, and good food are fundamentals with plants. It is clear from the study of these plants how easy it is to find out what plants like. After studying their feelings, then do not make the mistake of them all huddled together under poor drainage conditions. I always have a sense of personal affection for the flowers. If they come to me always feel that now things are starting to calm down outside. You start with a rich, beautiful, delicate little blue flowers. In June gets hotter and hotter their color faded a bit, until sometimes they look quite worn and white. Some people call them Quaker ladies, others innocence. Under any name they are charming. They grow in colonies, sometimes in sunny fields, sometimes by the road side. From this we learn that they are more particular about the open sunlight than about the earth. If you pick a flower and using bind request, then the wild geranium is not your flower. It pitched roof very quickly after harvest and almost immediately drops its petals. But the purple flowers are conspicuous, and the leaves, while rather coarse, are deeply cut. This effect gives a certain boldness to the plant, which is quite attractive. The plant is rather damp, shady sections partially found in the woods. I like this plant in the garden. It adds good color and permanent color lasts so long flowering period, as there is no object in picking it. There are numbers and numbers of wild flowers I might have suggested. Those I have mentioned were not given for the purpose of a flower guide, but only with one end in view your understanding of how the soil conditions to study the work of the beginning of a wild flower garden. If you fear results, but take one or two flowers and study what you choose. Having mastered, or better know a few, add more another year to your garden. I think you will love your wild garden best of all, before you are through with him. It is a real study, you see.

Other Factors in Garden Creation
So now you've out what type of garden you have, what will be the situation, and what type of fertilizer you need, now is the time to really pick up when choosing your garden environment get started. First, you want to decide what will make your garden barriers. What will separate your garden from the rest of the world? Next you want to choose the decorations and support for your plants. Often a kind of metal mesh is necessary to keep your plant standing. You want to decide how much soil and fertilizer to buy, and how all the plants is in your garden. Select a border is actually a pretty important step to start your garden. It is perhaps not really affect the well being of the plants, but a garden with a fairly aesthetic ordeal for many people anyway. do so usually you will choose between metal and wood. You can set up boards around the perimeter of your garden and give it a rather nice cabin look. If you are looking for a more modern look, you can get some metal lining at your local hardware store for pretty cheap, and the installation is medium difficulty. Find something nice to support your plants can be a little difficult. Sometimes a short metal rod can work well, but often for plants such as tomatoes, you need a wire to pull himself up. You can at any time nursery, pre-formed usually find ideal in a kind of cone shape for plants. The plant grows only through them, and normally it will take until the plant is enough to support growth. Then you can wire a pair of scissors and just snip it's free. The decision as to how much land to buy a little easier. Check out information about your assets and where the ideal soil depth. Then dig out that much of your garden, the measurements and find out the exact amount of cubic feet of earth that you need. Go to the store and buy, preferably by a few bags just so you can complete the offer if it is compressed or has expired. If you live in an area where the ground is rough, dry and barren of nutrients, then you might even want to add a few inches of depth to the original recommendation. The arrangement of plants is more important to the success of your garden. I'm not talking about some kind of feng shui thing, but depending on watering, some plants might hog all the water and let the other plants high and dry. Some plants have more roots than others, and are more aggressive in the collection of water. If one of these plants with a plant next to lighter, shorter roots site, it will quickly carry off the water supply and suffocate the other plant parts. I hope I have done, that you realize that the placement is not the only important thing about a garden. There are many other factors, which may not seem very significant, but could consider spending an appropriate amount of time considering the result to change your garden. So if you are working on the construction of a garden, use and reference, you can (the library, the Internet and magazines) look into some of the factors I have mentioned.
