Tool Ideas to Make Gardening Easier: Check out Rosanne’s 20 Favorite Garden Tools!

[@artpaul751]

Great demo of the tools for the gardener. It has given me ideas for better tools for my gardening and gifts for fellow gardeners. Thank you again after 75 years and counting.

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Glad you found the video helpful. I agree; I think a really nice quality "forever" tool is a wonderful way to treat yourself, and give as gifts.

[@maryegerton6848]

This was so informative. I have a lot of my mothers tools from her shed that she doesn’t use anymore and now I know what they are for. Especially that trench shovel. I saw it hanging in there, but I wasn’t exactly sure what it’s purpose was. Now I know. Thanks so much for a great video. 🌹

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

I'm so glad you found the video useful! And, figured out the mystery of the trench spade. 😊

[@karinhamann5019]

Hello Rosanne. I am an ex-pat of the Twin Cities now living in Maryland and happily gardening in a zone 7 garden. This was a very useful video, and have added to my Christmas wish list a few of your tool suggestions. I have been to Tangletown Gardens, and when I visit my daughter, who is living in St. Paul, I make it a point to go back. I have even planned trips to coincide with their garden walk in July. I wonder if you have noticed changes to your climate in MN that affect your gardening? I am finding it hard to know when it is safe to prune during the dormant season. Over the past couple of years, and also predicted this year, our winters have been unseasonable mild. I'm not sure anymore when to cut back my roses or prune shrubs because we get long periods of mild temperatures that cause the plants to start budding. In fact, yesterday as my husband and I took our daily walk, I noticed in many gardens that spring bulbs were already starting to poke up! I always worry about my cherry trees. One year we lost all the blooms because they come out too early during a long mild spell, and then froze when the temperature dropped again. Just makes gardening more challenging!

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Hi Karin. I'm glad you found the video useful! It's fun to add a gardening tool or two 🌝. Tangletown does have a nice selection. Our garden was on one of the Tangletown tours a few years ago (2014?). Great question about changes to the climate. For me, I think our climate is extreme enough, that I haven't had many significant issues. Having snow snowstorms in late April is a problem though, especially if we have prolonged periods of very cold weather with it. My Spring Garden Tour video has a short clip of my tulips under 6 inches of snow! Fortunately, they survived. All the best.

[@millennialhmong7121]

Wow.......great tips. Thanks

[@betsyvanweerdhuizen5316]

Thanks for the interesting video on your garden tools. I’m really enjoying your channel and your lovely garden. have very many of the nearly same tools. I just bought myself a battery powered reciprocating saw. Wow! I can do several jobs without asking my husband to assist with the chain saw. I cut back all my butterfly bushes in record time this spring. Thanks for sharing your expertise and your gorgeous garden.

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Thank you so much for sharing that! I agree, the reciprocating saw is liberating 😀! Glad you agree.

[@miriambelanger7292]

[@redmountaingirl9611]

I'm fascinated by all your tools and organization! I learned of some new tools today and this is just in time to add them to my Christmas wish list! Thank you for explaining each of the uses. I like your idea of tying a ribbon to help you find it in the garden. I usually do a yard survey to make sure I haven't left any in the dirt, but inevitably you miss one. The bright ribbon is a nice idea.

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

I'm so happy to hear that you found the video useful. I was thinking about putting "gift" in the title of the video (the season and all), but for some reason just didn't. Maybe I will after all. I love getting good gardening tools as gifts! Yay, bright ribbons. I've lost more than one trowel in my day. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@samgreason4449]

[@corey3151]

Another great video Roseanne! I will be looking for stainless steel tools now. I never knew they existed. That pot brush is nice to.

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Thank you! I appreciate that. Once you start buying stainless, it's hard to go back 😊 . I also forgot to mention in the video that soil doesn't stick as much to the stainless. Stainless is just too smooth. The tools have a natural tendency to stay clean.

[@lucylopezmartinez5508]

Hello Roseanne! Thank for your videos. Your garden is my #1 inspiration. Your enchanted theme has everything I want for my garden. I am so happy I found your channel. I am starting my garden in Illinois, zone 5b. I am investing on my outdoor pots. But I don’t know which materials are the best for winter. I would greatly appreciate if you guide me on what containers’ materials would withstand our -40 temperature. Thank you very much!

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Hi Lucy! I’m so glad you are enjoying my channel! How exciting to be beginning your own garden 🪴. Love that you love the enchanted look. As to containers, I use almost exclusively clay pots - which would very likely crack if left out for the winter. I empty my pots every fall and scrub them lightly with water. Then I store them in our shed. As to other pots, I have one plastic pot that looks like clay that we do keep out over winter with winter greens. The risk of cracking happens when the moisture in the soil, or rain or snow eventually freezes and expands. Freezing moisture expanding is enough to crack many materials. I guess emptying a pot (ceramic or cement) and then covering it for the winter might work. I certainly see people with pots left outdoors (of course I don’t know how long the pots last). Pots are heavy and expensive, so your question is right on. Sorry I don’t have a more fulfilling answer 😕. Your question makes me think that “preparing for winter” would be a good video this fall.

[@maritzahenao5962]

Thank you

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

You're welcome

[@eurekamarijka]

I’d like to add two of my favorites: the Root Slayer shovel and a Japanese pull saw! The RS is shaped like a trench shovel but has serrated side edges and cuts through tough roots and hard clay soil with little effort, and the tip sharpens easily - as I’ve found after a hard summer. 🙂 And the pull saw makes a wonderfully smooth cut, is feather-light, and will cut any diameter as long as you’re willing to stand there. I have two sizes and use them inside and out, especially since the blades are flexible and are great for tight spaces and flush cutting. GREAT video!! I’ve been waffling on a Hori Hori, but you’ve convinced me... I’m off to shop! 😆

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Hi, Our system is almost twenty years old, and it was sold as a garage organization system. The system was Schulte, but it looks like they were acquired by Organized Living. Below is a link on Amazon. Maybe they're available elsewhere. The key to this system is that you can move the hooks around, which is very convenient as one expands their tool selection 😉. www.amazon.com/Organized-Living-Activity-Organizer-48-inch/dp/B002XUKW2Q/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2PGE0VHHT78MJ6ZR94KB

Hi! Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoy the garden tours! The edging is "Chilton" Limestone. It is quarried in Wisconsin. I'm not sure about where you live, but it is available in the form of "Edgers" at our local stone and masonry supplier. Even if Chilton is not available, you might be able to find a similar stone in that same shape. I love going to the outdoor yard and browsing at the beautiful natural stone. All the best!

I am interested in the curved grass edger (longer handle) tool that you use. I wish you had provided links to your tools. You have an amazing assortment of everything a gardener should have. Also, I would like to know the height of the metal supports you use for your hydrangea . My blossoms are so huge, they flopped with the first big rain and again anytime water hits them. Thank you, I really enjoyed this video. Do you find you need support for the zinnias?

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Hi, My apologies for the tardy response. I'm so glad you enjoyed my "Tools" video! The curved grass edger is a Sneeboer tool, from the Netherlands. Here's a link www.gardentoolcompany.com/products/sneeboer-garden-edging-knife-with-steps?variant=763657691&currency=USD&srsltid=AfmBOoogECWwB322MTPemZDz37cXpj8yWg8G0qWf4P_CDEMc6ScatsyAvqI&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c The Sneeboer tools are not cheap, but of the finest quality. They make great gifts for the gardener! The height of the metal supports for the hydrangea are 42". They probably sink into the ground about 6 inches. I had taller ones that were too tall, so we cut them down. I do need support for the Bennary's Giant zinnias, even though I trim them down earlier in the summer to make them bushier. I just stake the entire bed with twine and garden stakes in a grid pattern. The zinnias that I have growing alone or among other flowers are generally of a shorter variety and do not need staking. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Rosanne, where do you find your perennial spades? I have been looking for one and haven't found one. I've found short-handled shovels but not spades. Thanks!

Hello from New Zealand! My husband and I have just bought our first home and we have a lot of weeding to do in our property! I found this video and thought the introductions to the tools were very useful. Thank you for sharing your favourite garden tools. Could I suggest listing down the items / products you feature in your videos down in the description box so it's easier for your viewers? I just thought that would be very useful. Thank you!

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Greetings to New Zealand! What an exciting time for you and your husband. I like weeding (to a point 😊); it clears the mind. Good tools help. Glad you found the video useful. All the best with your new home!

Where do you purchase the weeding tools? Do you sharpen the tools once it became dull?

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Hi, We've purchased our tools from multiple places, but our favorite tools are Sneeboer, a Dutch company. Here's a link to a website that carries Sneeboer. www.gardentoolcompany.com/ Yes, we do sharpen our tools when they become dull. Other than shears or pruners, we sharpen tools once a year at most.

Thanks for this informative video! Who makes your rose snips?

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Glad you enjoyed it. The snips were from Smith and Hawkin many years ago. I have seen similar ones in garden stores from time to time. Most now seem to have straight blades.

[@mykvass]

just found you ! Love your tool video , boy are you organized ! I do have a question you may be able to help me with. I have some deep rooted lilies from the previous owner of this garden that have multiplied way too much and I'm trying to remove them so they never come back...I cannot just pull them uplthe leaves because they break and the bulbs are still around for the next year. What tool would work in this case without digging up my plants around them ? thanks

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

Thanks! Regarding your question, the answer really depends on how deep the lily bulbs are, and how close other plants are. If they are deep, and you have a 5 inch area to work with, I'd use a trench spade (one of my top three tools). I'd also do it early in the spring, before surrounding plant foliage gets too large. If the bulbs are not too deep, I'd use a trowel. Hope that helps (at least a bit 😉).

[@leojulie8502]

Love your tool shed! May I ask about the organizing rack? Is that a particular system? Thank you

I noticed you have a dog . I have two labs and they like to dig up my plants or dig up in any free space . Any tips how to stop them from digging up ?

[@Exquisite-Gardens]

I'm glad to say we don't really have that problem anymore. When Dolly was a puppy, we did not let her in the garden unsupervised because she showed too much interest in some poisonous plants, like the Calla Lilies. So, because she was closely watched when she was little, she never really got into digging holes, or had the opportunity. With other dogs we've had in the past, or even our wild rabbits, I fence in the valuable plants or vegetables (with 2 ft chicken wire) to keep them safe from intruders. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
