Okay, so I’ve been watching a lot of Monty Don lately, and I got really inspired to get my hands dirty and try to up my gardening game. It all started when i saw him using those tools, and I thought, “I need to get some of those!”
First, I did some digging online, trying to figure out exactly which tools Monty uses. It’s not like he has a specific “Monty Don” brand, right? He’s just got his tried-and-true favorites.
My Monty Don-Inspired Tool List
- A good digging spade: I noticed he always has a sturdy-looking spade for turning over soil.I go for the stainless * really did make a difference.
- A hand fork: For weeding and breaking up clumps of soil, this seemed essential.
- A decent pair of secateurs: Monty’s always snipping and pruning.I found a pair that felt comfortable in my hand.
- A trowel:I go with a solid * planting.
- A watering can:I get a big one.
I went to my local garden center.I found a spade that felt really solid, with a nice wooden handle. Then, I picked out a hand fork and some secateurs that felt comfortable.
The real test came when I actually started using them.I used the spade to turn over a patch of my garden that I’d been * took some effort, but the soil was turning over.
The hand fork proved super useful for getting rid of some stubborn weeds.I felt like a pro!
I used my new secateurs to trim back some overgrown rose bushes, and it was so satisfying to see the clean cuts.
I also planted a few new flowers, and the trowel makes planting really easy.
Overall, I’m really happy I took the plunge and invested in some better gardening tools. It’s made gardening more enjoyable, and I feel like I’m actually getting better results.
