Successful gardening boils down to proper soil maintenance, plenty of watering, and nutrient feeding. None of these can be accomplished without having the right gardening tools. If you are like me then your garage is probably stocked with hundreds of different gardening tools, some new and some old. However, there are always that same handful of items that I never go a day without using. Below are a few examples:

1. Scissors: A pair of scissors should be at the forefront of your daily maintenance tools. If you do not have a pair yet then there is no need to go and buy anything real fancy. A lightweight pair of aluminum scissors that you can buy in any household item store will do just fine. You will use your gardening scissors to cut foliage and small stems. If you need to cut larger items (and you will) then pruning shears, which are listed next, will be another daily gardening tool you will stock.

2. Pruning shears: There are many types of pruning shears available, dozens really, so be sure to try out a few different pairs before you decide on stocking your inventory with one. It is also recommended that you try to shop for “bypass” pruning shears. This type will make a much cleaner cut than its rival: the “anvil” pruning shears.

Of course my choice is opinion based and you should test to see which works best for you. Unlike scissors, do not be afraid to pay a little extra when it comes to getting a dependable pair of pruning shears. They can be quite expensive but in the end it’s worth it. I’ve had my pair cutting strong for almost 4 years now and it’s been the best money I’ve spent as far as daily gardening tools are concerned.

3. Hand held watering bucket: As the name says, this is just a small watering can that you can carry by hand. Every gardener must “spot-water” now and again and there is nothing more handy than a nice watering pitcher.

4. Garden spade and/or shovel: Whenever you need to dig small holes in the soil, a shovel or garden spade will be needed. There are different variations here and you will have a different preference than other gardeners. I prefer using a round nosed shovel, while you may like to use the flat ended spade. If you are new to gardening then try both out for a while to see which one suits you best.

5. Hand trowel: This is the tool that you will use more than any other in your garden. With its similar appearance to a small shovel, a hand trowel is used to transplant bulbs and other small flowers. It comes in two different sizes, the larger which is made for digging, and the smaller size which is designed for weeding. Just like pruning shears, it never hurts to spend a little more money for quality.

I was amused and a little humbled the other day to receive an email from one of your fellow Landscaping Ideas Blog readers which commented “Hey, Paul you really are Mr GreenFingers - thank you for all the great advice!”

Now that set me think about branding all our Gardening/Landscaping sites and Blogs under the name “Mr GreenFingers” - it sort of has an appeal!

Well to celebrate the launch of the brand I have issued some of our latest Gardening ebooks and reports under the name over the last few days and you can take a look at them by clicking on the links below:

I wanted to share with you my latest lens at Squidoo! The reason I have created this Gardening Guides lens is that a number of fellow Gardeners have told me that it is so difficult to find useful information packaged in an easy to read manner.

Over the past few weeks I have been developing a number of Gardening Guides which cover specific topics in an easy to read manner. Those Gardening Guides currently include, amongst others, a Rose Gardening Guide, a Herb Gardening Guide, a Lawn Care Gardening Guide and a Beginners Gardening Guide!

I will be continuing to develop those and here at Gardening Guides I will be highlighting those together with others which I have identified during my research.

Enjoy your visit to Gardening Guides!
