If you have been living in town all along and have now moved into a your own cottage then you will probably not have too much knowledge of beating back the forest which is threatening to overtake your whole garden and encroaching on every conceivable spot of ground. You will now have to get yourself some gardening supplies for the trees, bushes, lawn and also the walkways so that you can keep a well maintained area surrounding your home.
Supplies which you will need for your home garden An expanse of green in your garden is something that everyone appreciates but if you have an overgrown unkempt yard then you could be liable to pay a fine in some cities. To make sure that your lawn is kept well mowed you should get yourself a lawn mower that either is powered by gasoline or by electricity. This is one of the most used tools in your garden and you should get one that is hardy and can maintain your lawn well. You will have to decide on the size of the mower according to the amount of lawn that you have. If you get a lawn mower with a built in bag then you will not have the problem of cleaning up after you have finished mowing the lawn.
Gardening tools for trimming tree branches and bushes If the bushes you have planted have a slow growth rate it is fine, but if not then you will have to be trimming them often to make them look neat and tidy. Bush trimmers too are also gasoline or electric models, but you could also get the manual shears to trim the bushes with, but that is only if you do not have too many. If you have flowering bushes then you should find out whether you should trim them before they flower or after they have finished blooming. Bushes should be kept away from the home foundation to avoid rot caused by moisture.
To trim branches and sprigs that come up every now and then you would need tree limb cutters. You could get these with long handles so that you could reach up into the taller bushes and trees and trim the branches. Saws and electric trimmers are also available.
A weed whacker for walkways The crevices in the walk way are often overgrown with weeds that need to be pulled out or trimmed. To do this in a mechanical and neat way it is better to get a weed whacker. These present day gadgets do a good job of getting rid of all the weeds in the crevices with the nylon thread that is very effective in pulling out the weeds in the crevices of the walkway. Weeds could also be kept down chemically, but this does not work if you have pets.
Keeping your garden and the pathways around it clean may be a constant job, but most people find it worthwhile to maintain the look of their home and would much rather have a nice home than a one that is over run by weeds and the forest.
