Types and Selection of Materials, Tools and Equipment Appropriate for

Introduction:
The number of tools and equipment as well as the materials required for nursery work
and management is not many. Only those that will facilitate the various operations in
connection with the nursery work should be considered and should be on hand in
order to save time and efforts. Proper tools, materials and equipment multiply
efficiency of the nursery worker.
DURABILITY should be considered in choosing proper tools and equipment.

BASIC TOOLS AND EQUIPEMENTS
There are many different types of gardening tools available,
both hand and power operated. You don’t have to buy the
most expensive tools available when starting to garden; if
you find later that you either don’t need a specific tool, or
don’t care for gardening as an activity, you will not have lost
a large investment. Later you can upgrade to be better
quality tools, if desired.
HANDED TOOLS
• Long-handed tools- usually offer greater leverage and each, and often
allow working from a standing position. The handle may be either straight
or have s D-shaped hand grip on the end. With some tools, such as long
handled pruners, handle extensions may be available.
• Short-handled tools are lighter in weight, usually less expensive, more compact to
store than the long-handled varieties, and allow one to work efficiently in confined
spaces or while kneeling. Common short-handled tools include hand pruners and
clippers, hoes, garden trowels, and cultivators.
• Handles are commonly constructed of wood (requires some additional maintenance to

keep splinter-free), fiber glass or plastic (check for cracks), and sometimes metal
(check for corrosion and cracks).
• If handle or any other part of the tool is damaged or loose, it should be repaired or
replaced immediately. Pay particular attention to where the handle fits into the tool for
looseness or damage.
HAND TOOLS
• In no particular order, some of the more common hand

gardening tools are listed below (the same tool may have
several different common names). This is only a basic list, for
there are many styles and variations of these and other tools
available to the home gardener.
• Spading Fork- these have
heavy, flat tires and often a D-
shaped handle. They are used
to open up the ground, dig
bulbs, incorporate soil
amendments, and turn
compost.
• Hoe- is a used for
weeding and scraping the
surface of the soil. Garden
hoes include the traditional
flat scraping/chopping types,
along with the newer loop,
scuffle or stirrup styles.
