Renting Tools
Getting a garden in shape requires a range of different tools, including some large equipment such as earthmovers, lawn rollers, trimmers, and power seeders. Many of these tools are expensive and difficult to store, and gardeners might need to use them only once or twice. Purchasing specialist equipment for a single job is not a cost-effective solution, so gardeners should consider renting these products instead.
 
Getting the Children Involved
The hot summer months are the perfect excuse to encourage children to switch off their video game consoles and take more of an interest in nature and growing things. Children are sure to take delight in helping out in the garden, pulling up weeds, watering flowers, and digging in the dirt. Allocating a small part of a flowerbed or allotment for children to use is a great way to get them interested in gardening, especially when they start to see flowers and vegetables growing that they planted.
Stores and online retailers offer special child-sized tools, such as spades, forks, and buckets. Many of these are made of metal, but there are also lightweight plastic ones. These tools are safe for young children and allow them to take part in the fun.
