container gardening.... tools you need

tools you need...

Watering can w/rose

Watering cans should have a long neck to help you reach pots easily. Large watering cans (more than 1 gallon) are heavy & harder to handle, so their design is important. Some watering cans have long crossbars that make them easier to handle.

Look for a good watering can w/a rose attachment on the spout so the water is delivered like a soft rain & not a torrential jet. A rose attachment also makes it easy to carry out foliage fertilizing.

Hose nozzles & sprinklers

Water wands are lightweight but sturdy metal or plastic spray wands that attach to hoses. Some are specifically adapted for watering baskets. Nozzle sprinklers have adjustable ranges & can be inserted into one large pot to cover several pots in a larger area.

Sprayer

A small sprayer (about 3 pints) can be used for misting, fertilizing, or applying insecticidal soap & pest deterrents. Sprayers that can be connected to garden hoses also are handy. A sprayer that has held insecticide or pesticides should never be used for anything else.

Pruning knife, shears, or scissors

Whether you need any or all of these depends on what kind of plants you have. If you're growing trees or shrubs, you'll need pruning shears. If you're growing annual flowers, you might need only a good strong scissors & a knife. A garden knife is versatile & works well for root pruning.
