Gardening Arsenal: What Equipment and Tools You Need
Good soil and seeds are not enough to make a garden pleasing to the eye and give a bountiful harvest. Success begins with the right tools. From sturdy pitchforks and reliable pruning shears to a powerful walk-behind tractor and a modern garden tractor, every thing in the owner's hands should work for the result. It remains to choose garden tools and equipment that will make your work comfortable, safe and efficient. In the VADA store, as in a garden center, you can buy everything for the garden.
Gardening equipment is your reliable assistant on the site
Before you sow anything, you need to cultivate the land well. Cultivators and walk-behind tractors are multifunctional tillage equipment that can perform almost all the work on the site, from plowing to transporting goods. Attachments (plow, potato digger, hiller, trailer) can be connected to the walk-behind tractor.
In large gardens, you can't do without tractors that help with lawn mowing. They are equipped with a grass catcher and a mechanism for mulching the grass. In winter, they become indispensable assistants in snow removal (with a shovel or brush), and in the active season, they are used for garden cultivation.
Lawn mowers are a very popular technique in lawn care. There are electric, gasoline, battery, brushcutters, and aerators. All have the same function, but the care and principle of operation are different, because each type has its own characteristics that need to be taken into account. For example, electric ones are better suited for small lawns, while gasoline ones are more powerful and can work on large areas. Cordless mowers are eco-friendly, cordless mowers, but they have a time limit. Some models have a grass collection, mulching, or side discharge function. Trimmers (brushcutters) are indispensable for cutting grass around trees, along curbs, and in hard-to-reach places where a large lawn mower cannot go. Depending on the power source, there are electric and gasoline models, each of which has its own advantages for different working conditions. Mowing the grass is only half the battle in lawn care. You need to improve the access of air, moisture, and fertilizers to the roots. Aerators can help you with this. They can be mechanical, electric, and gasoline-powered. A garden vacuum cleaner will collect grass, small branches, and leaves.
Do you need to trim branches or prepare firewood for the winter, or cut down trees? No problem. Gasoline and electric saws will come in handy here. While an electric one will be a good helper at home, a gasoline one can work on large areas. You should choose according to engine power, tire length, and weight. Manufacturers have taken care of user convenience and developed a variety of models that take into account different needs and working conditions.
Hand tools are an indispensable gardener's assistant
Gardening equipment is great, of course. But, besides it, there are many different hand tools that you can't do without. You need a garden pitchfork to dig up the soil, collect hay, humus, and leaves.
A rake will help you rake leaves and level the ground. There are fan, straight garden and lawn rakes. Their convenience lies in the telescopic rubberized, ergonomic handle, which is adjustable in height and reduces the load on the hands.
Young branches, flowers, grapes are cut with loppers. There are bypass loppers for live branches and contact loppers for dry branches. Thick branches (up to 4-5 cm) are easier to cut with a lopper with a ratchet system that increases the cutting force.
Have you heard of ergonomic handles? They prevent your hands from slipping and provide a comfortable grip on the tool, as well as allow you to work in the garden longer without discomfort.
Garden hand tools are made of durable materials: for example, blades are made of hardened carbon steel, chrome-plated, and Teflon-coated, and handles are made of reinforced plastic, wood, and aluminum. High-quality brands provide a guarantee of up to 2-5 years.
Water supply and irrigation
Stable water supply is impossible without high-quality pumps or pumping stations. Pumps can be surface pumps for shallow wells, boreholes (8-9 m), deep pumps (over 50 m), drainage pumps for pumping dirty water or watering from a barrel.
Pumping stations are a set of a pump, a hydroaccumulator, automation, and a check valve. But there is a nuance here - the stations maintain a constant pressure in the system, which is important for irrigation and domestic water supply at home. Before buying, pay attention to the material of the impeller (it is better to choose brass or stainless steel) and the dry-running protection system.
Automatic watering is a system that saves water and your time. It can be drip (water falls directly under the root of plants) and sprinkler (imitates natural rain and is suitable for lawns and flower beds).
The topic of irrigation is also solved by sprinklers, which are of several types. Stationary ones are installed in a certain area, portable ones can be moved around the territory, rotary ones rotate and evenly water large areas, pulse ones work with jolts and also do their job well.
