1. Gloves
• Gloves should be long-lasting but not too bulky, particularly for working with seeds or transplanting seedlings.
• Fit is essential, as poorly fitting gloves can cause blisters or lead to injuries from slipping off.
• Fabrics that are water-resistant and breathable will keep hands cool and comfortable.
• More extended cuffs protect wrists and forearms from scratches and hold soil from getting in.
• Keep gloves out of sunlight, water and away from insects.

2. Pruning Shears
• Anvil pruners are most suitable for dead wood and can cause crush wounds to fresh, green stems and branches.
• Bypass pruners are more useful for live plants and greenwood.
• Pruners should fit effortlessly in the palm of your hand.
• Ratcheting pruners provide boosted cutting strength, ideal for anyone with lessened hand strength or arthritis.
• For cleaner cuts and fewer injuries to plants, pruners should be honed regularly.

3. Garden Fork
• Forks with a bit of curve to the spines help scoop mulch or turn compost piles, much like a pitchfork.
• Straight tines are more suitable for digging; excellent for compacted, rocky, or clay soil.
• Square tines are more robust than flat tines, bending when they hit a rock or root.

4. Spade
• Choose a broad blade to move more soil or a long, narrow blade to dig up weeds or stony soil.
• The handle must fit comfortably in your hand.
• Trowels forged from stainless steel or with a stainless steel head will last you longer.
