Garden accessories – small helpers for daily gardening work

"Of course, the necessity of purchasing depends heavily on the size of the property. But as soon as a garden belongs to the house, an extra plot of land exists next to the rented apartment, or even a grave needs to be tended, the purchases are certainly worthwhile.

This includes gloves, which not only protect against coarse dirt but also against minor injuries. Especially when cutting roses, hedges, or bushes, there are many small pressure and tear points on the hand that can hurt sensitively.

Baskets of all kinds and sizes are also helpful. Anyone who uses basketry in the household, whether made of cane or plastic, willow, or other material, can continue to use them well in the garden after sorting things out. Even if the shopping basket no longer looks nice – it's still good for transporting waste to the compost for at least one more season."

Anyone wanting to buy baskets specifically for the garden for fruit, etc., often chooses those made of wire mesh. They have a big advantage: they are lightweight. They are available in good specialist stores and sometimes also in hardware stores with a garden section.

Even if initially considered unnecessary – rakes and garden brooms, shovels and the like are very helpful if you own them in miniature versions. They are almost indispensable for weeding and planting in small flowerbeds, on graves, or even in tubs. Anyone with a small property or many hard-to-reach corners is also well-advised to use children's tools. Here, there are shovels and rakes, garden brooms and the like in miniature format, equipped with handles about one meter long. These can be very helpful.

The same applies to the watering can. Between the usual ones for the garden and the small watering cans for the apartment, there's a missing suitable size for tubs or window boxes. Here, the children's watering cans – usually made of plastic – are the ideal helpers.

To decorate nicely in winter – especially in the front garden – and still not neglect winter protection for roses and the like, jute is recommended. It is available online by the meter and can be cut into the required pieces. This keeps leaves and brushwood attached to the plants, and it also looks nice. Decorations can also be easily attached to it with safety pins.
