Plant Life ~ T1 ~ Pg 74

These are all the things I used for my garden this year.
  • Shovel, made from wood and metal, used for turning the soil and general digging. Used mostly in the spring and fall, not much in between.
  • Rake, made from wood and metal, used for mixing manure and Epsom salt in, also used to remove grass and weeds initially, used to make plot level, and to create rows for planting. Used mostly in the spring and fall, not much in between.
  • Trowel, made from plastic, used to dig small holes to drop seeds into and to dig up weeds and loosen soil after planting seeds.
  • Cultivator, made from plastic, used to loosen soil and help remove weeds.
  • Weeder, made from plastic and metal, used to help remove weeds.
  • Fence posts, made from metal, used to frame the boundary for my garden.
  • Duct tape, used to repair the fence.
  • Chicken wire, made from metal, used as a fence.
  • Wire cages, made from metal, used to contain and support plants as they grow
  • Stretch tie, made of plastic, used to hold plants in place.
