10 Gardening Tools For Men
By
Peter Richmond
10. Wheelbarrow
Wheelbarrows make it much easier to transport heavy materials and equipment.
Work smarter not harder with this large six cubic foot capacity wheelbarrow.
The steel tray gives it additional strength, allowing you to carry heavier
loads, and the hardwood handles provide maximum leverage. Get it here.
9. Shovel You can dig up holes a lot faster
with a shovel than with your hands. Remember, shovels are meant for
digging but besides planting new bushes or trees, they also come in
handy for whacking Bob over the head when he acts up.
8. Trowel Some people use an old tablespoon
to bury their bulbs in the ground or plant their perennials. But the
best and fastest way to plant your favorite vegetation is with a trowel.
7. Pruners Pruning
allows him to remove diseased, damaged or dead plant parts. It also
helps a tree seal its wounds quicker. Pruning a dense canopy also allows
for better air circulation and sunlight penetration. A pruner is the
perfect precise clean cutting tool. It allows him to properly cut any
small size branch or stem without destroying it.
6. Shears & Scissors If you want to keep
your yard looking attractive, then keep your bushes neatly trimmed in
symmetrical shapes. By doing so, you'll accentuate everything else,
including the lawn. Shears and scissors are the best tools to use. Here's
a tip to improve your grip and comfort: cut a two-foot long piece of
old hose pipe and fix each end to the two handles of the shears.
5. Edger Place the finishing touches on
your garden with an edger by slicing into the ground to create a clean,
sharp edge between flowerbeds, solid surfaces and the lawn. Edging will
make your lawn look finely groomed along the borders and prevent grass
from growing outside of the boundaries.
4. Weeder If you want to remove revolting
weeds and dandelions from your beautiful green lawn without contaminating
the environment or putting your family's health at risk with the very
controversial use of herbicides, then a weeder is the way to go.
3. Soaker Hose Starter Kit With water
becoming an increasingly scarce resource, authorities are either limiting
the use of water or slapping you with ridiculous water bills in the
summer. The most efficient way to keep costs low is by using a soaker
hose. With it, you can direct all the water directly where you need
it with minimal waste. Also, watering the ground is better for your
plants. Remember, wet leaves can damage in the hot sun. .
2. Trimmer The 12-volt Black & Decker
CST2000 with cordless convenience requires no gas, oil or tune-ups.
This lawn trimmer is probably one of my favorite garden tools; it allows
me to trim the grass in those tight spots the lawn mower can't reach.
.
1. Lawn Mower A man will work as well
as the quality of his tools. One of the reasons some lawns look very
unattractive is because people dread the morning weekend ritual that
is required in order to properly maintain their lawn. This usually happens
because most people have cheap lawn mowers that make the work last longer
than it should. Treat him to a top of the line mower and you'll have
your lawn cut in minutes rather than hours. --

Crabgrass is Enemy #1
brought to you by Yardiac
Once Crabgrass gets foothold in your lawn it can be difficult to fend off (even with the best pre-emergent control products!) However it can be done! Here is what we recommend!
The first step is to purchase Crabgrass Killer! This chemical is formulated to specifically attack the roots of crabgrass! It is a Post-emergence control for grassy weeds in Bermuda, zoysia and bluegrass lawns. It kills crabgrass, sandbur, dallisgrass, johnsongrass, goosegrass, barnyardgrass and more.
This concentrate and will cover up to 4,000 square feet! For Blue Grass mix 2 oz (4 tablespoons) in 1 gallon of water to cover 200 sq. ft. Spot treat the areas that are infested with crabgrass.
The second step is critical for optimal application -- always mix a "Spreader Sticker" with the weed killing chemical.
The "spreader sticker" we recommend is called Wilt Pruf. Mixing a spreader sticker (1 oz. per gallon) with a weed killer will ensure the chemical spreads over the entire foliage area and then sticks! As an added benefit, it will keep an application from washing off during an unexpected spring rain storm!
The weed should begin to wilt and brown within 5 days -- spot treat as needed every two weeks until you have killed off that nasty crabgrass! It should not take more than 2-3 applications to wipe out event he most mature crabgrass.
A couple of other notes: For best results, apply Crabgrass Killer to the lawn in the morning (after dew has dried) on a sunny, calm day to allow maximum absorption of the weed killer. Higher temperatures result in a quicker uptake of this product for faster control. However, do not apply Crabgrass Killer if temperatures exceed 90 degrees. If daytime temperatures are expected to exceed 90 degrees, apply the product in early morning when it is cooler.
The combination of these two products will take care of your weed problem!
