Favorite Gardening Tools for my Culinary Herb Garden
By admin | April 16, 2006
Garden Tools: I know that you probably have your own favorite tools that you’ve used for years in your garden, but believe it or not, particular tools don’t matter much to me. To grow herbs takes only the basic garden tools and I don’t seem to have much need beyond a trowel and some clippers. I have a shed full of various gardening implements and, to tell you the truth, I don’t remember where most of them came from. Perhaps from yard sales or family, there are just too many shovels, spades, rakes and picks to choose from.
There are some gardening tools that I do rather like, but it seems that I never use them! My wife found at a thrift shop a rather nasty-looking turf cultivator thingy that looks quite dangerous. I think about it a lot, but have never used it! Of course, with my attention going to my culinary herb garden, I’ve neglected the lawn, but oh well!
Today’s reading from Culinary Herbs: Their Cultivation Harvesting Curing and Uses focuses on a look at some of the author’s herb planting tools. Let’s have a look at some old-time herb growing tools and techniques. Feel free to use these illustrations as you see fit:
