Book 29, Question 13
What tools does a young gardener need?
A small set of tools is enough to start.
A trowel digs small holes, a hand rake smooths soil, and a watering can with a gentle spout waters seedlings. Gloves protect hands, and a hat shades your head. A bucket carries weeds and tools. Clean and dry tools after using them, and put them away, since tools can be sharp or cause trips.
