The best gardening supplies – what you really need now
‘Gardening supplies’ is a funny term.
It covers a whole category of extremely useful things that make gardening much easier. In the past, I used to muddle along with anything that came to hand.
Then I discovered gardening supplies…
… proper weeding tools, tomato supports, gardening gloves that I love wearing…
The weeds grow twelve inches a night at the moment. So I thought it was time to share my views on the miscellaneous things I’ve bought or been sent for review. Here are the ones that have really made a difference to my gardening.
There are affiliate links here, which means you can buy if you click on the photo or title. If you do, I may get a small fee but it won’t add to your cost. And it does make it easy!
And if all you want is a basic essential garden tool kit, see this post here.
Otherwise, in no particular order, I can recommend the following:

I actually work in a garden centre and appreciate the quality of well made tool such as forks and edging tools which do come at a price. I’ve come to the opinion that it’s the guarantee you’re actually paying for as we still get broken forks and spades. As I’m not particularly well paid I cannot buy much of what we sell so I have to go to the discount stores. So far I’ve managed to find bargains here and there and at the moment I’m happy with the quality of asda shears £3 and Morrisons pots £3 also. When it comes to plants many supermarkets lack the knowledge and this shows with dead or near death plants still on sale. You can enjoy gardening though on a budget thankfully
Thank you for your professional insights – very helpful.
Just in case a novice gardener is as poor as we were – I used to get tools from auctions. The very basic auctions from house clearances or agricultural. Great quality well loved tools. Xxxx
very good advice
Sadly, when starting out, the novice gardener is frequently under the impression that a basic gardening kit from B&Q will suffice.
This is not the case.
I’m glad to see a more comprehensive list above of what’s really required. It could prove to be a real time saver so take heed!
Thank you!
