My favorite gardening tools!

items A list of my favorite gardening tools! Because we live in Minnesota and can't plant until the end of May or June, we start our seeds indoors. Look for some tips and tricks within the recommendations!
Good soil is a must for healthy plants. We use it for starting our seeds inside, but also mix in some quality soil when transplanting outdoors.
Back to the Roots 1CF Garden Soil
These are no joke. We have mulch in our plant bed and it's not pleasant kneeling on little pokey bits of wood. Save yourself the pain and just get a knee pad!
Foam Kneeler Light Gray - Room Essentials™
Can't go wrong with a basic trowel! Great for basic planting, but also for removing stubborn weeds.
Fiskars Ergo Trowel
Ok, hear me out. A spray bottle, really? YES! And here's why: BUGS. They are everywhere, and many like to eat your plants. Of course we don't want any nasty chemicals on our fresh fruits and veggies so I'm going to give you my super (not so) secret b...
16oz Garden Spray Bottle - Room Essentials™
We like using these seed pots to get our plants going. We aren't huge fans of plastic (though we have some trays that we got years ago and are still reusing). These are biodegradable and get planted right into the ground when they're ready!
Jiffy-Strips 50pc Peat Pot Strips
This is a great option if you're limited on space. There are plenty of fruits and veggies that don't take up a lot of space that would fit well in here, but it would also make a super cute lettuce and herb garden!
Tangkula Outdoor 5-Tier Planter 4 FT Vertical Elevated Raised Garden Bed Planter Box Kit for Backyard Patio
A must have if you have any climbing plants. We use a trellis for green beans, peas, cucumbers and melons.
96" Winchester Vinyl Trellis - White - Dura-Trel
Make sure you have a good pruner on hand. We don't just use them for keeping things like raspberry bushes looking great, but they are also handy to have when unexpected things start growing. We get little trees that pop up and really need that extra ...
Fiskars P341 Bypass Pruner
We bought a wagon a couple years ago and it's one of the best things we've ever purchased! It's wonderful for moving plants from the house/garage to the garden, moving bags of mulch or dirt, and also for bringing in all the wonderful produce we grow!
Mac Sports Double Decker Heavy Duty Steel Frame Collapsible Outdoor Utility Garden Cart Wagon with Lower Storage Shelf and 150 Pound Capacity, Purple
This is such a handy tool. We use it to get debris out of our landscaped areas in the spring and also for getting the garden ready to go.
Black & Decker LSW221 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Cordless Sweeper Kit (1.5 Ah)
This is new for us this year. We were composting through our trash company, but they stop providing compost so we decided to do it ourselves!
FCMP Outdoor IM4000 37 Gallon 8 Sided Dual Chamber UV Protected Quick Curing Tumbling Composter Soil Bin with Ideal Aeration - Black
Probably seems like an odd thing to have one a gardening list, but there's a good reason! Bug spray! Keep those buggers from eating your plants by mixing 1TBS Dr Bronners with 1 cup of water and spraying your plants regularly. You can also use Dr Bro...
Dr. Bronner's 18-In-1 Hemp Baby Pure Castile Liquid Soap - Unscented - 32 fl oz
