For construct a beautiful garden we should require various garden tools. There are various types of garden tools are available in the markets for performing various types of gardening works. In India there are many manufacturing enterprises engaged in manufacturing, supplying & exporting of garden tools. They are manufactured these garden tools with international standard and with the use of very high quality materials also. And these garden tools are available in the markets at very cost effective prices and in various categories depending to its various tasks. There are some examples of garden tools which we are used for constructing and maintain our gardens are as follows:
Spading fork: It has flat or square tines and is especially good for heavy clay soil. Don't confuse it with a pitchfork, which has round, slender tines and is used to move straw or compost. Again there is a slightly smaller perennial fork. So much force is exerted on spades, shovels, and forks that they need to be very strong. Buy the best you can afford.
The same applies to rakes: Look for extra reinforcement at the socket and for straight-grained, dense wooden handles. Cheap rakes have flimsy handles that will pull out of the sockets under heavy use. I like a collapsible rake, which can be adjusted to various widths. This is useful between plants in beds.
Iron rakes come in different widths and may be straight or curved with long or short teeth. The teeth can be widely or closely spaced. Rakes can weigh as little as three pounds or as much as five pounds. The major use for iron rakes in home gardens is for pulverizing and levelling soil.
If you have a big garden, buy a wide, heavy rake you can turn to push or pull the soil. Or use it "teeth down" for pulverizing the top layer. If you have a small garden, buy a rake with sharp teeth. For heavy or rocky soil, select a rake with wide spaces between the teeth to simplify cleaning out clods and rocks.
