GARDENING TOOLS
The user of an allotment or backyard garden should have as many tools as possible, with appropriate dimensions adapted to the spacing of plant rows and the user's height, which greatly facilitates the work. To the basics, the tools needed for gardening are all those listed.
Rydel, known as a garden shovel or popularly an engraving, it is used for digging up the soil, cutting off the sides of beds and other auxiliary works.
Wide-toothed forks, the so-called. American, they are used for digging up the soil with simultaneous fragmentation, to facilitate the selection of any weeds, and especially couch grass. These forks are especially useful for digging through lawns and the soil between fruit shrubs and trees.
Standard forks – 4-the tine bars are used for straw shifting, vegetable waste, spreading fertilizer, processing composts.
The hoe is used to destroy the crust on the surface of the roll, trimming weeds and loosening the soil in inter-rows and in rows between plants. A hoe with a wide and even blade is used to destroy larger weeds and loosen deeper. A heart-shaped hoe is better for covering plants.
Grace is used for shallow loosening of soil and cutting out weeds. Most often they have a different shape of a knife. Grace the usual one- or double bow, lifting the layer of crusted roll, often tear off its larger flaps, wider than the working part, and as a result, they often damage the root system of plants. Therefore, in heavily crusted soil, it is better to use a stapes, which with the horizontal part of the knife undercut the layer of the roll from below, cutting it off with vertical edges at the same time, therefore it does not damage the roots.
Norkros rippers are used to crush the crust and loosen the soil deeper, and to destroy weeds before sowing., after emergence of plants in inter-rows, for mixing sown mineral fertilizers and compost with the soil. In addition to norkros, garden claws will be useful in smaller cultivated areas. However, an aerator can be used to crush the crust.
The rake is used to level the surface of the beds, for making lanes after playing, for crushing crusted soil after heavy rains.
Gardening knives serve: 1) sierpak – for cutting twigs, smoothing out places left by branches cut with a ball; 2) schoolizak – for budding fruit trees, pink, lilacs, etc.. (it is more convenient to use the lobster with ankle shown in the picture; the ankle is blunt, polished blade, used to tilt the bark of an inoculated plant); 3) graft – for grafting trees, the difference between an ophthalmologist and a graft is this, that the budding larvae, apart from the cutting part, have a dice or a blade edge specially adapted to separate the bark of the inoculated plant.
Secateurs are different: one-sided secateurs are used to cut thicker shoots, and for pruning the roots of planted rootstocks and shortening twigs on one-year-old trees, two-blade secateurs are used; for cutting twigs from higher parts of trees, A pole pruner is used for twigs with pests or withered twigs.
Gardening balls of various types are used to illuminate tree crowns, removing sick and withered tree branches and unnecessary shoots of fruit and ornamental shrubs. The balls make it possible to obtain a smooth surface at the intersection of the tree; they do not cut adjacent branches or tear off the bark. The balls must be properly sharpened, have correct and well-divorced teeth, as well as the appropriate shape and size. The most convenient to use is a curved ball, called the "fox's tail."”, for cutting thin branches. Sawing is done in one direction, when moving the ball towards you. The grafting ball saws trees in the same way, different from other drank in this, that the rake angle of the teeth is inverted, so that the ball cuts when it is pulled, not when pushing, like most he drank. With a high concentration of branches or when they are too close to each other, you can use the so-called. fine-toothed holesaw. Pole balls are used to cut the higher parts of the branches – flakes or frame, equipped with a conical sleeve to seat the shaft (poles).
Sprinklers – watering cans – is the necessary equipment for watering plants.
