A good pair of gardening gloves makes digging in the dirt easier on your hands. Plus, during allergy season when you’re cleaning out your garden, gloves help you avoid touching your face with pollen-ridden hands.

Getting rid of weeds is every gardener’s nightmare, so make the process easier with a Grampa’s Weeder tool. It’s an old-school tool made back in 1913 that quickly removes weeds with minimal effort. Just put the tool over the weed you’re trying to remove and pull back. The entire plant and its roots should come right up.
When you need to plant seedlings or make holes for seeds, a hand trowel is what you’ll want to use. It’s a small hand shovel that makes digging into soil much easier, especially for in-ground planting. You can get hand trowels for just a few dollars at Walmart. Or, get a hand tool pack at Lowe’s, which includes a trowel and other helpful tools.
Newly planted plants need frequent watering, so a hose is a must if you plan to have luscious gardens. You can get a 50-foot hose from Amazon for less than $30. Walmart also has a longer, 100-foot hose and nozzle on sale for less than $40.
When you start moving soil and dirt around, you’ll be thankful you have a wheelbarrow on hand. Gardeners who want a heavy-duty wheelbarrow for constant use should check out Home Depot’s options. Gardeners on a budget may want to stick with the more affordable options Walmart offers.
Pruning shears help you cut back dead plants and weed any unwanted plants. Amazon has a five-pack of different shears for various plant varieties. Felco also has professional-level shears for gardeners that have been gardening for years.

A weeding knife doubles as a knife for cutting out weeds and a small trowel for digging. Get an affordable weeding knife from Amazon or opt for a professional Japanese-style weeding knife from Garrett Wade.
Planting larger bushes and trees calls for a more intense shovel than just a hand trowel. That way you can dig deeper, wider holes more quickly. You can get a simple, reliable shovel from Amazon for less than $40. Gardeners without a lot of storage space may appreciate a folding shovel from Bare Bones Living instead.
Come harvest time, a gathering apron helps you collect your harvest efficiently. Walmart has a basic harvesting apron for just under $15. Gardeners who want a more unique harvesting apron can find different colors and patterns on Amazon.
