Even inexperienced Gardener
Needs Mechanical Aids

What equipment do you need
to take up gardening for fun?
Experienced gardeners advise
beginners that the most import
ant gardening rule is not to
overestimate yourself. Don't
bite of more than you can chew
is a good rule.
Start by selecting essential
tools, fertilizers. and seeds for
easy-to-grow flowers and vege-
tables. Invest in special tools
and complicated gardening plans
after you acquire know-how.
Garden tyros might start with:
l. A lawn mower. Buy hand
model or power model as your
pocketbook and the terrain die
tates.
2. Rakes. You need one OF iron
for breaking up soil. cleaning
walks and gathering twigs and
winter debris: another of bam-
boo or flexible steel for light
lawn raking.
3. Diggers. Get one spade fol
! turning soil. planting shrubs anc
trees. You will need good old
fashioned hoe for cultivation: 9
hand trowel for planting anc
.transpIanting and lastly. a hant
cultivator to clean up leaves ane

and vegetable beds.
4. Shears. Two pairs. one for
pruning. the other for lawn edges
and hedges. will be very helpful
Don't waste time with a cheap
one.
5. Hose. The new plastic mod
els are lightweight and econom-
ical. Try the new plastic or can
vas soakerS. Use plenty of water
on your garden and lawn.
6. Fertilizers. For better
healthier lawns, more colorful
flowers. and bigger yields of veg
etables. use early. Garden supply
dealers. seed stores. and nurseries
will help you select the proper
types for your garden.
Z. Seeds. Your seed catalogue
or favorite seed store carries Q
complete line of flower and veg.
etable seeds adapted locally.
