Spring is here, nature gives us all these colors, we want to take advantage of the good weather and indulge in various outdoor activities. What could be more pleasant than maintaining your garden, whether you are a true professional in the field, or simply an enthusiast with a green thumb. It doesn't matter, it's the result that counts, however, for a job well done and in complete safety, the gardener must be well equipped.
Gardening may seem harmless, in fact, the weather is nice, you are quiet in your garden, you tell yourself that nothing can happen to you. But any activity involves risk, and an accident always happens when you least expect it. It is best to protect yourself from head to toe.
First of all, the wearing of a safety visor, or at least safety glasses with a helmet, the probability of receiving an object in the head or splinters in the eyes are not negligible.
Next, since gardening is above all manual work, consider wearing gardening gloves. There's something for every taste and budget, but still go for pairs that will stand up to wayward thorns or a misplaced blow from a pruner.
Gardener clothes, which come in jumpsuits, sets of jackets and pants, sometimes overalls or even shorts, are not only for the purpose of looking pretty and stylish. prevent our everyday clothes from getting dirty. Some are made of resistant materials that provide effective protection.
Protect your feet too, you have the choice between a good number of safety shoes, or gardening boots. There are also several types of clogs on the market, but their level of protection is quite minimal.
The gardener often has to use noisy machines, save your eardrums, opt for noise-canceling headphones or simply earplugs.
Gardening is an exhausting job, in fact most of the time we have to bend our backs or be on our knees for a long time.
Nothing alarming, the market today offers gardening stools to preserve your back, you will be sitting low enough to be able to work in the best conditions. The choice of models is up to you, there are even some with wheels.
You can also find knee pads for gardeners, they are more or less soft plates on which the gardener will rest his knees while working.
Some brands even offer 3-in-1 objects, that is to say, stool, kneepad and, as a bonus, trolley with storage.
We can say that tools are the most important element in the panoply of the perfect gardener. Indeed, a gardener plants, but most of the work is at the level of maintenance, including watering, pruning, weeding, clearing, and finally cleaning.
The list is almost endless and depends mainly on individual needs, but there are still the basic tools essential to the gardener.
First we have the hand tools, we can cite for example the trowel, the shovel, the spade, the leaf broom, the pruning shears, the weeding knife.
If you want to save time without too much physical effort, power tools are also flooding the market, and at all costs. Take for example lawn mowers, brush cutters, chainsaws, leaf blowers, not to mention the electric hedge trimmer.
Regarding the watering part, we can find different kinds of hoses, watering guns, and even automated watering systems.
