Tools of the Trade to Go with a Cedar Potting Table

 

A smart-looking cedar potting table takes the guess work out of gardening by organizing and consolidating everything in its place. They also bring the workspace up to a higher level to accommodate those with back problems and gets you off of the ground. Once you have got the basic table set up, it’s time to accessorize. Here is a list of the typical gardening hand tools that you will find you won’t be able to live without.

 

Trowel

This is the classic gardening hand tool. These mini shovel lookalikes come in different lengths and widths for different space needs and soil type, and are used for digging small holes for pots and garden plots. Along those same lines is the transplanting trowel, modified slightly for the purpose of digging up and repotting those plants with well-established root structures.

 

Hoe

Like trowels, hoes come in various shapes, but they all come with the basic three prong form and are used for digging out weeds, breaking up soil and creating planting trenches.

 

Shears

Pruning shears are used to cut thinner branches and the basic shaping of bushes which have gotten out of hand. Similar to pruners are loppers, whose longer handles create leverage for thicker branches and hard to reach areas. Hedge shears also fall under the same umbrella, but are specifically constructed to cut in straight, flat lines for precision shaping.

 

Rake

Although bigger than the average hand tool, a rake can still be affixed upright to the backs of potting table via pegboard or a lattice framework. Opt for a rake with sturdy metal tines for the collection of leaves. A flimsy rake will just create more problems than it’s worth. There are also small hand rakes which look like miniature versions of the original, but can more easily collect matter in smaller areas and the surrounding stalks without leaving damage to stalks and garden plots.

 

Shovel

Similar in height and size to the rake is a shovel, good for (no-brainer) digging holes, especially in hard dirt, but also for tamping down loose earth and for carrying around small amounts of debris at a time.

 

Wheelbarrow

 

A wheelbarrow or some other types of basic hand cart will of course not fit directly onto the cedar potting table itself, but you should definitely have one nearby for carting around materials. Carts are best for hauling leaves, debris and especially soil. For instance, when people buy a large amount of soil, a truck normally delivers it in a massive pile onto your sidewalk or driveway. A handcart then makes the transportation of that dirt to where you need it a simple matter.

 

Sharpeners

They’re easy to overlook, especially seeing as they are some of the smallest tools around. Files and whetstones, however, are valuable instruments for sharpening and extending the lifetime of your various garden tools. Plus, they don’t take up much room on a cedar potting table, so there’s no reason not to have them around.

 

Unconventional Tools

Aside from the generally accepted garden accoutrements, there are many devices you can find in your toolbox or garage that will work just as well at solving some of your gardening dilemmas, so keeping a few handy in your cedar potting table is a good idea. As one idea, the claw on the back of hammers can be used for cultivating and digging holes for seedling. Screwdrivers are good for dislodging dirt and other loose material that has become trapped or has hardened in tight, hard to reach spots. Sledgehammers are ideal for securing vegetables stakes and fencing, while also breaking stones.

 

Buy Smart

When you’re stocking up your cedar potting table, try to buy tools with ergonomic handles that won’t hurt or blister your hands. Also, look for rust-proof materials and blades that can be sharpened.
