Outdoor Gardening For Everyone

 

Gardening has provided me and my family many health benefits. Not only we grow our own food that is free from chemical pesticides, but also in a way it has help us in our physical activities everyday. Maintaining your own garden is a tedious job too. You have to make sure to remove unwanted weeds on your garden bed everyday, water the plants and trim the flowers. One of our neighbors, just recently decided to have her own garden. She is a retired teacher now, and stays at home with her pet dogs and cats. But, she said she wanted to do something that will exercise her body and keep her mind occupied all day long. So my husband and I suggested that she make her own little garden at the back of their house, since, there is still a space for backyard gardening.

To get her started, my husband made garden beds for her and I also gave her some pots that we are not using anymore. As an additional gift, I also gave her a 3-piece garden tool set. The kit contains a hand trowel, hand fork and potting spade. These 3-piece garden set is made up of a polished stainless steel head and weatherproofed hardwood handle. Using the kit that I gave her, we also helped out in planting the seeds that she bought at a gardening shop. She was very thankful for our help and gifts, so in return she prepared a snack for us and some healthy drinks. Now, aside from her pets, gardening will be her past time while staying at home. Her children and grand children sees to it that they visit her every weekend. And for sure they will be very happy to see her new garden.

My husband and I left her with a big smile and a thankful heart. We are also very happy knowing that one way or another we were able to help in ways that we can. Life is a cycle of give and take. Whatever you give to the world comes back to you ten times. So make sure to give your kindness and love because in the end you will definitely be rewarded.

Selecting the Right Tools

 

A lot of people nowadays are very practical and independent. As much as possible people do not want to seek or ask help from other. One of the main cause or reason is that, they are too shy thinking that they are disturbing others. So, even if they do not know anything, they would still try to fix it. In the end instead of fixing it, they would ruin it more. In every household, it really helps to have your own set of tools. For many younger men these days, owning a well equipped toolbox is something that only their dads do. What they do not know is that, good tools purchased early in life can also be a smart investment. The sooner you purchase the basics, the longer you will be able to use them and the more cost-effective they become. 

 

A man should always be self-reliant and he should also have the tools and the right knowledge how to tackle basic projects around the house. But there are cases where women needs to be knowledgeable too, especially for those who lives alone or if there husband is always out of the country because of work. They can not always wait for their husbands to get home just to fix things up, they have to at least do something. A handy woman beats any available handyman when it comes to home repair because women are more aware of their surroundings and take a little bit more care to not damage things.

It is also the same in gardening, one must have at least a basic gardening tool to be able to effectively take care or maintain their own garden. The key is to buy only good tools from name-band manufacturers. Just like the 3-piece garden tool set which is manufactured by Emily's plants, they also sell other gardening supplies, plants and containers for your gardening needs. Always remember that quality matters, good tools work and bad tools don't.
