ShovelThe shovel is the main tool for deep tillage, which is always useful not only in the garden and in the garden, but generally in the household.

There are many types of shovels: bayonet, shovels, Stripping (drainage), excavation shovels and the shovels, shovels for digging trenches and shovels in the form of a Crescent, and also hand augers and scrapers, which are also considered shovels. But for agricultural purposes out of all this diversity is only used the first 3: bayonet, Stripping shovels and spades, about the differences and purpose of which we'll talk.
The round-pointed spade, universal
Thirty five million three hundred thirty seven thousand three hundred sixty one
Shovel — the most popular and versatile tool of soil cultivation. She mastered a wide scope of work, from digging solid soil to cutting small roots. Therefore, it is indispensable, especially if a large number of inventory you store simply nowhere that you will agree, not uncommon in small suburban areas.
Shovel may be of a standard size, smaller, lighter, curb, which will appreciate the woman. Weight of bayonet spade — shovel machine. Due to its design it will save you from the tedious slopes, and hence the load on the spine will be much less, and work will become much easier. Regardless of the size and type of the round-pointed spade, the main thing that its edge was always sharp-edged and rounded edge would give the foot good support: this will also significantly facilitate your work, believe me.
Drainage shovelThree million four hundred one thousand two hundred twelve
Drainage shovel has a long narrow blade, slightly curved edges and rounded tip. This spade will be the perfect helper in the sometimes difficult task of transplanting small shrubs and the planting of different colors. In addition, the drain spade is very handy to clean up the existing trenches. Also it is simply irreplaceable for digging trenches, which is used for holding watering systems, wiring electricians on the site, etc.
ShovelEighty five million five hundred nine thousand six hundred forty five
Not designed for digging soil and digging trenches and pits of the shovel is indispensable in working with a variety of bulk materials — sand, gravel, snow, etc. the Family of a shovel — one of the most numerous and "mixed". So, shovel it happens: pick, or, as they call it, sand, snow, universal (American), bread, potato, and even ordinary garbage scoop is also a subspecies of the shovel. Shovels have pretty high edges, which are bent at right angles.
How to choose a shovel?Regardless of what shovel you decide to purchase a bayonet, shovels or a parallel land, the first thing you need to consider — the material from which made the blade. It'd be perfect if it is titanium. The only drawback of this tool is its relatively high cost. Well, if the blade and bayonet drain spade is made of stainless steel. This shovel will last you a very long time, and the cost of it in comparison with titanium is acceptable. Well, if the blade of the shovel is made of ordinary steel, but be aware that you can sharpen it a lot more often. In addition, it will resist corrosion, so take care of this tool will be very carefully. And really do not want to drain the blade and bayonet of a shovel was made of aluminum, even if on top it is covered with super-healthy anti-rust paint. Believe me, this shovel will last you very long.
What to shovel, here the situation is somewhat different. Depending on the kind, the blade of the shovel can be made of steel, aluminum, plastic, wood (e.g., grain shovel) and even plywood snow shovel.
Size and weight is important tooThe size of the working plane of the bayonet shovels, marked with the letters "LU" equal 21х26 see A convenient length of the handle — not more than 130 cm Shovel classic (also called perekopska), marked with the letters "PL", has a size of a working plane 195х260 mm, and the length of its stem should not exceed 110 cm working plane drainage shovel should be equal 12х27 cm, and the length of its stem should not exceed 85 cm.
The shaft of any shovel, regardless of type, should be made of well-treated wood, perfectly smooth to the touch: in this case, your hands will remain splinters. It is desirable that wooden handle was treated with a special antiseptic composition, but not varnish or paint. Lacquered, painted, plastic and metal cuttings is very inconvenient to use because it will always slide in his hands.
The dimensions of the working plane different shovels depending on the manufacturer and type, can deviate slightly in one direction or another. In addition, do not blindly adhere to the recommendations relative to the height of the shovel, all individually. For example, if your height is 155 cm, it is unlikely that you will be convenient to work with a shovel, the height of the stalk which is considered Optimal 130 cm shovel, the height of which was approximately 10 cm below your shoulder.
When choosing a shovel, pay attention not only on size but on weight. Ideally, the shovel should not cause you to have an surge in muscles, ie should not be too heavy.
ForkThree million one hundred five thousand three hundred eighty one
Used for digging and loosening the soil, cleaning the area, moving a variety of materials and even gather root crops garden forks also can be called a universal gardening tool. And, surprisingly, often not only remove weeds, but dig site is much better pitchfork than with a shovel.
The forks are distinguished by the number of teeth, which, depending on the destination, can be from 2 to 4:
In addition, there is another kind — fork for digging potatoes. Their main feature is that on large flat teeth wearing special rubber tips to protect the potato tubers. After removing the lugs, the forks can also be used to collect the roots, carrying of garden waste, and spreading of organic fertilizers.
How to choose fork?
Twenty two million nine hundred seven thousand five hundred ninety four
If you want to garden forks to serve you not one season, choose all-metal forks from carbon steel. The length of the stalk, as well as shovels, should be 10 cm below your shoulder, but not above 120 cm Handle, tightly fitted in the neck of the socket throughout its length, will provide additional strength to the forks. It is desirable that it was not of metal or plastic that slide in his hand, and of well-treated wood.
Hoe, common hoe (hoe)Forty eight million five hundred twelve thousand seven hundred
The most popular tool for weeding, hilling, soil aeration, and even create small planting holes and furrows — hoe. It is, of course, in every country economy. But not every owner knows about the huge number of species and even the name of this tool.
Familiar names — hoe, hoe, catman, pollinic and even the plane — all types of hoes. There are trapezoidal and triangular hoes, which differ in the form of corners and the width of the blade, and each of these instruments has its purpose. For example, a hoe for loosening heavy soil and digging is a powerful tool with one or two blades.
The triangular hoe is used for weeding, it is low and has sharp corners. With its help it is very convenient to make V-shaped furrow during sowing. Have hoes for hilling, on the contrary, high the blade, almost at a right angle beveled on the edge. Combined hoe with two-way working surface (hoe on one side and fork on the other) can be used not only in order to make V-shaped grooves, but also more traditional for hilling and weeding.
There is even a special chopper for lawns, the blade which is rounded. With its help, you guessed it, it is very convenient to cut the edges of the lawn, but to use it for weeding and earthing up is not necessary.
How to choose a hoe Before you buy a hoe, decide what exactly you need it. If you decide hard, take the universal tool, then definitely not regret it. And please note: in addition, hoes differ in purpose, they are different and size: in height work surface can reach up to 15 cm and in width from 10 to 25 cm the length of the cutting hoes must not exceed 140 cm and the stalk should ideally be made of smooth wood.
RakeFifty one million four hundred forty thousand six hundred eighty eight
Another important tool for soil — rake. They will help you not only can loosen the soil before planting, but align it.
How to choose a rakeRakes are wood and metal. Hardwood meet today quite rare, plus they are too light, causing them difficult to work with. Therefore, if the rake you are going to remove not only the hay and fallen leaves, and to equalize and even to harrow the soil, it is better to give preference to a metal rake. But remember: the rakes of metal also varies in quality. Will be just fine, if you prefer a metal rake, and worse, if their main part is riveted, that is, consisting of several parts.
Except that the rakes are metal and wooden, they can be:
In addition, there are the ordinary garden rake and fan. And distinguish them: the garden rake is wide enough and rounded on the end teeth, and rolling (the lawn) rake, on the contrary, thin teeth, arranged in a fan. The garden rake is indispensable in the process of levelling the ground. Fan rake designed for cleaning the garden, collecting fallen leaves, grass clippings, etc.
In addition to our usual shovels, hoes, rakes and forks are not so popular, but no less useful tools that will greatly facilitate your work.
RippersFifty seven million seven hundred eighty three thousand eight hundred eighty three
Loosen the soil in the beds and in the garden will help the Ripper is a simple hand tool, which will be a real helper of every vacationer. Rippers, depending on the manufacturer, can have from 3 to 7 teeth with a width of from 10 to 30 cm.
How to choose the RipperOne of the important indicators of quality hand cultivator is the weight of the tool: it should not be too heavy or too light. Therefore, before you purchase Ripper, compare several models and choose the most convenient.
Marker
Forty five million four hundred eighty seven thousand two hundred seventy nine
Another tool — manual marker, which is used in the beds and in flower beds to mark up the ranks. Markers are of two types: gear, used for marking holes, and slatted, which is used to mark grooves. Made the marker may be made of wood and metal. Which one to prefer — to solve to you.
Hand drill
Fifty four million eight hundred ninety one thousand three hundred three
Using a hand drill you can make holes for seedlings and do not disturb the soil structure, because you just take out a part of the soil that will get smooth planting holes the same depth. The length and design of the drills may vary slightly but the purpose remains the same.
Hand cultivatorsNinety four million six hundred sixty nine thousand two hundred fifteen
Loosen the soil before sowing seeds and mixed with soil fertilizer, prune the root system of weeds and to destroy the earth crust, thereby adjusting the air and water regime of the earth — there is nothing easier if you have a manual cultivator. It is attached to the long handle steel nozzle, which, in turn, mounted on 4 rotating disk (most often they are made in the form of stars, therefore called cultivator and star) and special pogruzochnaya knife.
Width of the working surface of the hand cultivator, depending on model and manufacturer, varies from 6 to 16 cm To allow manual cultivator in action, it's necessary applying slight pressure on the tool to hold it on the soil surface. The discs will cut the roots of weeds and with a special podrozetnik a knife to loosen the ground.
With regard to the material from which made cultivators manual, it is often ordinary or structural steel. In the second case, products of higher quality and durability, but they are much more expensive.
Ploskorez Fokine

Relatively new, but incredibly popular today ploskorez Fokin — not that other, as ordinary metal clip, pointed at one end and secured to a long handle.

Ploskorez Fokine, despite growing popularity, remains for many quite mysterious tool. That is why I propose to discuss all its pros and cons in a future article.
