Tools for the Gardener.... Alati za vrtlar ....

So you’ve gotten the garden bug and sallied off to the garden center to pick plants. Tako ste dobivši vrt bug i sallied off na vrtni centar izabrati biljke. Wait just a minute; before you leave the garden center, better run through a check list and see if you’ve got all the garden tools you’ll need to make your garden spring to life. Čekajte samo minutu, prije nego što ostavite vrtni centar, bolje vožnja kroz provjerite popis i vidjeti ako ste je dobio sve vrt alate koje će vam trebati kako bi vaš vrt u proljeće života. We aren’t going to break the bank here; no power tools and even a few you can craft yourself. Mi se ne ide na break banke ovdje, no power tools pa čak i nekoliko možete craft sebe. We’ll touch on a few items that could be considered luxuries, but only if they really make the job easier (or more fun…). Mi ćemo dodir na nekoliko predmeta koji se mogu smatrati raskoši, ali samo ako su stvarno je jednostavniji posao (ili više zabave…).

We can make this list a lot more organized by breaking the jobs in the garden into four main categories: Možemo napraviti ovu listu puno više organizaciji raskinu poslovi u vrtu u četiri glavne kategorije:

• Tilling Tilling
  Tilling covers soil preparation and moving; basically plowing and carting. Tilling pokriva priprema tla i pomicanjem; osnovi ore i Karting.
• Cultivating Obrada
  Cultivating is any job we do to maintain the garden, like weeding or pruning. Obrađuju se bilo koji posao radimo na održavanju vrta, kao što su weeding ili čišćenje.
• Planting Sadnja
  Planting covers how we get the plants in the ground Sadnja pokriva kako ćemo dobiti biljke u zemlju
• Watering Snabdij vodom
  And finally, that most important task, watering (which explains itself…). I na kraju, da je najvažniji zadatak, navodnjavanje (koje objašnjava sebe…).

Let’s break it down… Let's break it down…

TILLING

Assuming you’re not doing an acre of veggies, your most important tilling tool is a good shovel or spade . Uz pretpostavku da se ne radi jedan ral od veggies, vaš najvažniji tilling alat je dobra lopata i ašov. This is the work horse, a real jack of all trades that hits almost every category (I have never tried to water with a spade and do not see an immediate need…). Ovaj je rad konja, pravi utičnica svih obrta koji hits gotovo svake kategorije (Nikad nisam pokušao da se vode sa lopata i ne vidim potrebu neposrednog…). There is no point in going cheap here. Ne postoji točka u idući jeftini ovdje. This is a lifetime purchase if done well; you will be back here in a year or two if you screw up, so buy the best you can afford. To je životni vijek kupiti ako učinio dobro, od vas će se vratiti ovdje na godinu ili dvije, ako vijak, pa kupiti najbolje što si možete priuštiti. I am a big fan of all metal spades; I have had the one I am currently dating for a decade. Ja sam veliki obožavatelj svih metala lopate, ja sam imala jedan ja sam trenutno dating za desetljeće.

I am using this tool in a professional capacity AND using it for my home garden; I have dug trees and shrubs, transplanted and split countless perennials and grass, cut sod and roots, and even hammered a few stakes with it and I foresee several more decades of the same (I hope I hold up!). Ja sam koristeći ovaj alat u profesionalnu sposobnost i koristi se za moje kuće vrt; sam dug drveće i grmlje, transplanted i Split bezbroj Višegodišnje biljke i trave, cut busenje i korijena, pa čak i hammered nekoliko stakes s njim i sam slutiti još nekoliko desetljećima isti (Nadam se da ću držati gore!). A spade offers more versatility; the narrower blade and shorter handle make it easier for work in a small (or established) garden. A lopata nudi više svestranost, uži i kraći blade handle olakšavaju rad u malom (ili osnovan) vrt. The shovel is a better choice for digging that big hole (and for saving your back), but why choose? The lopata je bolji izbor za kopanje da je velika rupa (i za spremanje Vaših leđa), ali zašto odabrati? I have both and suggest you do as well. Imam oba i predlažemo da učinite kao dobro.

If you do have that big area, or are just establishing a bed, roto-tilling is a good method but a quick word here; I do not feel that buying a roto-tiller is a good investment. Ako ste da je veliki prostor, ili su samo uspostavljanje krevet, Roto-tilling je dobra metoda, ali brzo riječ ovdje, a ja ne osjećam da kupujete Roto-Muring je dobra investicija. Renting for the weekend to knock out that new garden makes much more sense, as yearly roto-tilling breaks down the composition of your soil (more so in clay soils). Iznajmljivanje za vikend da kucam da novi vrt čini mnogo više smisla, kao i godišnje Roto-tilling break down sastav vašeg tla (više na taj način u clay soils). Repeated tilling also brings up weed seed that eventually decays if left in the depths of the soil strata. Ponovljeni tilling također će se ukloniti sjeme da na kraju raspadi ako ostavi u dubini od tla strata. This may not sound like a big deal, but consider crabgrass. To nije svibanj zvuk poput velikog posla, ali razmislite o crabgrass. It can lay dormant at depths of up to three feet for 100 years, waiting to infest your bed and dive into the lawn. To može položiti spava na dubini do tri noge za 100 godina, čekaju da nasrtati vaš krevet i roniti u travnjak.

The secret life of worms Tajni život crva

I like to establish the bed with one good tilling and then let the worms do the rest. Sviđa mi se utvrditi krevet s jednom dobrom tilling i zatim pustite da se crvi učiniti ostalo. If you have provided organic matter and decent moisture they will come (adding a box or two of night crawlers from the bait shop don't hurt any, either...). Ako ste unijeli organske tvari i pristojan moisture oni će doći (dodavanjem okvira ili dvije noći pretraživači iz mamac shop ne ozlijediti bilo koji, bilo ...). Worms migrate through the soil throughout the year, climbing from below the frost line in the spring to tear into the surface layers in the summer, diving back down in the fall to wait out the winter. Worms migrirati kroz tla tijekom cijele godine, penjanje od ispod line mraz u proljeće do suza u površinske slojeve u ljeto, ronjenje natrag u jesen čekati iz zime. They have a daily cycle as well, going deeper to escape the heat of the day. Imaju dnevni ciklus kao dobro, ide dublje kako bi izbjegao heat of the day. As they move through the soil they break it up and reconstitute it as castings, which actually add fertilizing nutrients to the soil. Kao što se kretati kroz tlo oni break it up to reconstitute kao i odljevaka, koja zapravo dodati Oplodni hranjiva u tlu. Let’s see a roto-tiller do that! Let's vidjeti Roto-Muring učiniti da! So as you can probably guess, my favorite tilling tool is a box of worms. Tako se kao vjerojatno možete pogoditi, moje najdraže tilling alat je okvir od crva.

Mattock Motika

Breaking up the soil can be very difficult in clay situations, and working around established trees can leave you frustrated with the roots. Razbijanje tla može biti vrlo teško u clay situacijama, i koji rade oko osnovana stabala može ostaviti frustriran s korijenima. The right tool for both jobs is a mattock . Pravi alat za oba radna mjesta je motika. It looks like the offspring of a pick and a hoe and handles both these tough jobs and a lot of others. Izgleda da je potomstvo od pokupiti i motika i radi na obje ove teške poslove i mnogo drugih. I do not own a pick; the mattock covers those bases nicely as well (I am VERY fond of tools that multi-task). Ne posjedujete pokupiti, motika pokriva one baze te lijepo (Ja sam vrlo fond od alata koji multi-task).

Spading fork Spading vilica

A spading fork is a wonderful tool for transplanting and aerating; and aerating; two together make such a wonderful device for splitting grasses and perennials that I have always had two hand forks (stab them back to back at the point you want to split and work the handles apart). A spading tanjura je čudan alat za transplanting i aerating; i aerating; dvoje zajedno čine takav prekrasan uređaja za cijepanje trave i Višegodišnje biljke koje sam uvijek imao dvije ruke viljuške (zabiti ih natrag natrag na mjesto koje želite Split i rad i ručke pored). They will also do the job of a manure fork, sorting hay, mulch and the like, at least for a smaller garden. Oni će također obaviti posao od đubre tanjura, razvrstavanje sijeno, mulch i sl., barem za manji vrt.

Garden Carts Vrtna kolica

Garden carts, with the wide set bicycle wheels, are steady as a rock but don’t dump well and the wide wheel base can be a pain. Vrtna kolica, sa širokim skup bicikl kotačima, nepomičan kao stijena, ali ne izvatkom dobro i širok razmak osovina može biti bol. While I own a traditional model, I have my new favorite, what we in the trade call a mulch monster , sort of a hybrid of the two other designs. Dok sam vlastitu tradicionalni model, imam moje nove najdraže, ono što smo u trgovinu poziv mulch čudovište, kakav hibrid dviju drugih projekata. The wheelbarrow body (good for dumping) is set on two garen cart type tires set about a foot apart (good for stability). U kolica s jednim kotačem tijelo (dobra za odlaganje) postavljen je na dvije garen košaricu tip gume skup o pješice osim (dobra za stabilnost). The best of both worlds… Najbolje od oba svijeta…

CULTIVATING Obrada

The original cultivating tool was probably a stick, but it wasn’t long after that someone invented the hoe. Izvorna obrađuju alat bio je vjerojatno jedan stick, ali on nije dugo nakon što netko izumio je motika. It’s still one of the most invaluable tools in your line-up for keeping those gardens weed-free, but so many to choose from. To je još jedan od najvažnijih alata u vaš neprocjenjiva line-up za čuvanje vrtova čistiti one-free, ali toliko da odaberete iz. The old traditional draw hoe works, but not as well as some of the more “modern” designs (not a lot of new breakthroughs in hoe design in the last hundred years). Stare tradicionalne draw motika djela, ali ne kao i neke od više "moderne" nacrtima (ne puno novih breakthroughs u motika dizajn u posljednjih sto godina). The draw hoe necessitates really breaking up the soil surface and we’ve discussed how that can affect weed seed; it’s also a lot more wear and tear on you! The draw motika necessitates stvarno razbijanje površine tla i da smo je objašnjeno kako se to može utjecati na sjeme trava, ona je i puno više odjeće, obuće i suza na vas! (It’s usually used walking backwards and can lead to the occasional trampling). (To je obično koristi hodanja unatrag i može dovesti do povremenih trampling).

The next evolution was the scuffle hoe, with the blade pointing forward and perpendicular to the ground. Sljedeća evolucija je bila gužva motika, s blade pokazuje prema naprijed i okomita na zemlju. (It’s often shaped like an arrowhead). (To je često u obliku arrowhead). You walk forward and scuffle it along in front of you, cutting the weeds at the surface and displacing only a little soil. Vi hoda naprijed i tući ga zajedno ispred vas, rezanje kukolj na površini i displacing samo malo tla.

At last we come to my favorite, the double action hoe. U posljednja nailazimo na mojim omiljenim, dvostruko djelovanje motika. I promised that some tools you could build yourself and this is one of them. Sam obećao da neki alati biste mogli izgraditi sebe i to je jedan od njih. It’s really just a strap of metal bent in a twisted horseshoe shape, so that the bottom of the horseshoe rests flat on the ground and the two ends extend back in a 45° angle to bolt to a handle (or broom handle or stick or…). To je zaista samo naramenica od metala savijena u obliku potkove s upletenom, tako da je dno od potkova počiva na stan u prizemlju i na dva kraja produžili nazad u kut do 45 ° vijak s ručkom (ili drškom metle ili stick ili…). Sharpen both sides of the flat so it cuts on the forward stroke (like the scuffle hoe) and on the back stroke (like the draw hoe). Izoštravanje obje strane stana tako da presijeca na potezu prema naprijed (kao što su gužva motika) i na kretanje unazad (kao što su to draw motika). Now we’re doing the job almost twice as fast. Sada mi radite posao gotovo dva puta brže. (I'll get a picture of one here soon) (Ja ću dobiti sliku o jednom ovdje uskoro)

Cultivator KULTIVATOR

The cultivator comes in two different flavors; long handled and hand models. The KULTIVATOR dolazi u dvije različite podvrste; dugo obrađeni i ruke modela. The long handled one is better on the back and the schedule, but the small one is the tool of choice around delicate plants and tight spaces, like containers and window boxes. The long obrađuju jedan je bolje na leđima i raspored, ali jedan je mali alat za izbor oko delikatna biljaka i široka prostora, kao što su posude i prozor kutije. If you are using a draw hoe, the long handled cultivator is redundant, but if you prefer the faster hoes, it’sa good tool to loosen that baked-on surface layer in the depths of summer. Ako koristite draw motika, dugo obrađene KULTIVATOR je suvišan, ali ako želite, brže hoes, it'sa dobar alat za olabaviti to pečena na površini sloj u dubini od ljeta. I have both and they both get a work-out. Imam oba i oba su dobili posao-out. The hand model usually comes in a set with a trowel (we’ll cover in planting tools) and a long pointy spear with a fork on the end that you have wondered about, I’m sure. Ruke model obično dolazi u setu sa trowel (ćemo pokriti u sadnju alata) i dugo pointy koplje s tanjura na kraju da ste pitali o, ja sam siguran. Well, it’s an asparagus fork, (for cutting the spears below the soil level) and before you throw it out (no, we don’t all grow asparagus) it does a famous job of digging dandelions and other tap-rooted weeds, so keep it! Pa, to je šparoga tanjura, (za rezanje koplja ispod razine tla) i prije nego što ga baci van (ne, ne sve rastu šparoge) čini poznato posao kopanja dandelions i drugih taknite-ukorijenjen korovi , Tako da i dalje ostane!

My new favorite tool is called the Weed Wrench , and it’s for those woody weeds that take over the edges of the property (I take particular delight in ripping out invasives like Japanese barberry, burning bush and multiflora rose). Moj novi omiljeni alat zove se čistiti wrench, i to je za one drvenastog kukolj da preuzmu rubova imovine (ja proći određeni užitak u vrlo dobar iz invasives kao japanski žutika, gorući grm ruža i multiflora). This orange painted steel lever has jaws that grab the trunk of the offending tree or shrub and ripe it out of the ground roots and all. Ova narančasta slikano čelične poluge je ralje da zgrabite prtljažniku zahvaćenih stablo ili grm i zrelih ga iz zemlje i sve korijene. I have demonstrated it for customers (I have removed a 12', 2 “caliper Robinia psuedoacacia in less than 15 seconds), only to give it up to them and watch them decimate the wild growth at the edge of their yards with increasing glee and abandon. Ja sam pokazao da za kupce (ja sam uklonio jedan 12 ', 2 "kalibar šestar Robinia psuedoacacia u manje od 15 sekundi), samo da je do njih i pogledajte ih desetkovati divlje rast na rubu njihovog dvorišta s povećanim radost i odustati.

The true beauty of this tool is the ability to clean up those waste spots without bulldozing or clear cutting, both of which remove the good guys right along with the bad (and the bad ones all pop back from the roots and choke out the natives). Istinska ljepota ovog alata je mogućnost čišćenja otpada onih mjesta bez bulldozing ili jasno rezanje, obje od kojih je ukloniti dobro dečki desno uz loše (i onih loših sve pop natrag iz korijena i zagušiti se u natives) . The Weed Wrench allows for keeping those native habitat plants that the birds and butterflies count on and getting rid of that weedy look by thinning, not cutting. The čistiti wrench omogućuje čuvanje one native stanište biljke koje se ptice i leptiri računati na dobivanje i riješite se da zakorovljen gledati po thinning, ne rezanje. Not a must have tool for most gardeners, but I love mine so much I have a medium AND a large (and they now make a kid’s model; how cute is that?). Ne mora imati alat za većinu gardeners, ali volim mine toliko sam srednje i velike (i oni sada napraviti dječjom model, kako je slatka da?).

The other part of cultivating is cutting and pruning, and there is plenty to look at here. Drugi dio obrađuju se rezanje i čišćenje, a tu je obilje pogledati ovdje. The spade may be Tool Numero Uno, but the pruners (or secateurs ) run a very close second. The lopata svibanj biti Alat Numero Uno, ali pruners (ili škare) izvoditi vrlo blizak drugi. There are a lot of different types out there but if you are only going to buy one pair of shears get a really good pair of by-pass cut shears. Postoji mnogo različitih tipova tamo, ali ako se samo ide kupiti jedan par shears dobiti stvarno dobar par by-pass cut shears. I have been a big fan of Felco #2’s since I started in the industry; they are the standard in the biz. Ja sam bio veliki obožavatelj Felco # 2, jer sam započeo u industriji, to su standardni u biz. Replaceable parts and blades mean you can bring these back to new in a few minutes (and we’re not talking about rebuilding a carburetor) so like your spade, you should have these for life. Zamjenjiva dijelova i lopatice znači možeš dovesti natrag na ove nove u nekoliko minuta (i nismo se govori o obnovi jedan karburator), tako kao što je vaša lopata, trebali ste ovih za život.

Now a lot of rose aficionados swear by the anvil style pruners, and many a perennial gardener wouldn’t part with their ikebana shears for all the tea in Japan, but for an all purpose, one shot deal, these will work on anything up to the size of your pinky. Sada puno ruža aficionados zaklinjem se na nakovanj stilu pruners, i mnoge perennial vrtlar ne bi dio sa svojim ikebana shears za sve čaja u Japan, ali za sve namjene, jedan je pucao posla, te će raditi na ništa do veličinu vaše rumen. Then what? Onda što?

From pinky to thumb size the right tool for the job is a pair of loppers. Od rumen do thumb size pravo alat za posao je par loppers. These look like pruners with 2' handles and come in the by-pass and anvil variety as well (my allegiance to by-pass remains unwavering). Ovi izgledaju pruners s 2 'ručke i dolaze u po-pass i nakovanj raznolikosti kao i (moje izjaviti by-pass ostaje unwavering). Anvils do have a little easier action and now can be found with a ratcheting gear that allows cutting ease for those who may suffer from arthritis or such, but the cut is cleaner with the bypass type and cleaner means less chance of disease or fungus. Anvils učiniti imaju malo akcije a sada lakše mogu naći s ratcheting opremu koja omogućuje rezanje jednostavnost za svibanj one koji pate od artritisa ili takve, ali cut je čišći s zaobići tip i čistiji znači manje šanse od bolesti ili gljiva.

Pole pruners solve that “I’ll get the ladder out and prune those trees…just not today.” problem. Pole pruners riješiti da "ću dobiti ladder out obrezuj i onih stabala… samo ne danas." Problem. Most extend out to18' or so, letting you lighten up those lower tree limbs, and most of the people I talk to with “problem shade” only need to lighten up the bottom 20' or so of their treescape to be able to really garden to their hearts content! Većina proširiti izvan to18 'ili tako, vi ste olakšaj se one niže stablo udovi, i većina ljudi sam razgovarati s "problem hladovina", samo je potrebno da se olakšaj na dnu 20' ili tako njihove treescape moći stvarno vrt na njihova srca sadržaj! So if you have ANY trees, this is a must have tool. Dakle, ako imate bilo kakvih stabala, ovo je jedan mora imati alat. But what if we have to cut something larger than our thumb? Ali što ako smo na cut nešto veći od našega thumb?

Saws are the tool for bigger limbs and trunks and like most of this list there are different saws for different jobs. Pile su alat za veću udovi i kupaće gaćice i kao što je većina tog lista postoje različite saws za različite poslove. For homeowners a folding pruning saw will handle most jobs up to 2" and larger stuff should be tackled with a bow saw (up to 8"). Za kuće jedan sklopivi čišćenje vidio će nositi s većinom posla do 2 "i veće stvari bi trebalo rješavati s pramca vidio (do 8"). Sure, there are buck saws and double-buck saws (those are the ones that the two magicians are always trying to saw that girl in half with), even chain saws for you real he-man lumberjack types, but most of the cutting and pruning in the garden can (and should) be done by hand. Svakako, postoje mužjak saws i dvostrukim mužjak saws (to su one koje su dva čarobnjaci su uvijek težak to vidio da djevojke u polovina s), chain saws čak i za vas pravi on-čovjek lumberjack vrste, ali najviše od svega i rezanje čišćenje u vrtu može (i treba) biti učinjeno po ruci. I have a tree surgeons saw (Felco 62; I am brand loyal to the good stuff) that I love with all my heart. Ja sam vidio jednog stabla kirurga (Felco 62, ja sam brand vjeran dobre stvari) da sam ljubav sa svim srcem. This thing has cut branches from pinky to bicep size and has even been pressed into service to cut PVC and it is still WICKEDLY sharp; this ranks up with the Weed Wrench on my tool list and, yes, it’s not cheap, but I can combine most of my pruning saw and bow saw duties in one tool. Ova stvar je cut grane od rumen na bicep veličine i čak je postao u servis kako bi cut PVC i ona je i dalje zla oštra; ove redove sa čistiti odvrnuti na moj alat za popis i, da, nije jeftin, ali ja može kombinirati većina mojih vidje čišćenje i luk vidio dužnosti u tool jedan. And my saw won’t wake neighbors out of a kind sleep at 9:00 AM on a Sunday morning like that chain saw… I moje vidješe neće probuditi susjede iz jedne vrste spavati u 9:00 sati na Nedjelja ujutro kao da lanca vidio…

Clean-up is last on our cultivating tool list but its high on the list of things to do to keep the garden looking great. Clean-up je posljednja na našem popisu, ali alat za obrađivanje svojih visoko na popis stvari koje treba učiniti kako bi zadržali tražite veliki vrt. Our garden cart or wheel barrow comes in handy here, as do the rake family. Naš vrt ili kola kolo nosila u ruci dolazi ovdje, kao što učiniti rake obitelji. Our first must have rake is the garden rake, or bow rake. Naš prvi moraju imati rake je vrt grablje, grablje ili luk. This is the one with the steel teeth; hopeless for getting the leaves off the lawn but perfect for smoothing the soil after weeding or hoeing. Ovo je jedan s čeličnih zuba; beznadan za dobivanje ostavlja s travnjakom, ali savršeno za zaglađivanje tla nakon weeding ili hoeing. The great leveler, as it were. Veliki leveler, kao što su bili. The other rake is a lawn rake, that bamboo thing Dad thrust in your hands on a crisp autumn morning as he gestured to the ten acres of front lawn (hey, it seemed that big…). Drugi je travnjak rake grablje, da bambus stvar tata potisak u vaše ruke na prhki jesen ujutro kao on gestured do deset acres, ispred travnjak (hej, činilo da je velika…). I get the question, “Steel or bamboo?” a lot, and while I can be a bit of a traditionalist about a lot of things, I have only had one steel rake fall apart in my hands. Ja se pitanje, "Steel ili bambusa?" Mnogo, i dok ja mogu biti malo a traditionalist o puno stvari, imam samo je jedan čelika rake fall apart u moje ruke. The honor roll of bamboo rakes I have sent to that great leaf pile in the sky is almost without counting; steel wins hands down. U čast svitak od bambusa grablje sam poslana na veliki list gomila u nebo je gotovo bez prebrojavanja; čelika pobjeda ruke. “But it rips at the lawn…” So what, it’s lawn and a little light root pruning is good for plants. "Ali to rips na livadi…" Zato što je travnjak i malo svjetlo root čišćenje je dobar za biljke. I recommend 2 rakes so you can use them like big mitts to pick up piles; try it… Preporučujem 2 grablje, pa možete ih koristiti kao velika mitts da pokupite hemoroidi, pokušajte ga…

PLANTING

Our spade heads the list yet again, cementing its lead as the tool to have. Naš lopata glave popis opet, cementing njene vode kao alat da. The spading fork can work here as well. The spading tanjura može raditi i ovdje. Have a spade or fork handle lying around? Have a lopata ili tanjura handle ležanje okolo? (I told you to use the pry bar to lever out those rocks…) Sharpen the point just below the D handle and you now have a dibbler, or dibber, just the tool for planting bulbs! (Rekao sam vam da koristite zabadati nos bar na poluga iz one stijene…) izoštravanje je točka upravo ispod D ručkom, a vi sada imate dibbler, ili dibber, samo je alat za sadnju lukovice! (If you don’t have the handle, the pry bar does double-duty.) The trowel, that little hand spade, is the perfect tool for planting window boxes and containers, or moving those little volunteer seedlings or any of those other little jobs that are so much of the joy of gardening. (Ako nemate, handle, zabadati nos bar se dvaput dužnost.) Trowel, da malo ruke lopata, je savršen alat za sadnju prozor kutije i posude, ili pomicanjem one malo volonter sadni materijal ili bilo koju od tih drugih malo poslovi koji su toliko je radosti u vrtu. Get that little set you’ve had your eye on (and don’t toss the asparagus knife…) Nabavite set malo da ste imali Vaše oči na (a ne bacanje u šparogama nož…)

WATERING Snabdij vodom

This is the most important job in the list; you can plant and till and cultivate all you want, but if the watering isn’t done then you may as well just watch TV. To je najvažniji posao na popisu, možete posaditi i njegovati i do sve što želite, ali ako je kanta za zalijevanje nije učinio onda svibanj i samo gledaju TV. A bonsai apprentice in Japan is given his shears and wire and all the rest of his tools on day one, but he is not allowed to touch a watering can until the fifth year of his apprenticeship. A bonsai šegrt u Japan je dao njegov shears i žice i sve ostalo svoje alate na jedan dan, ali on nije dozvoljeno dotaći kanta za zalijevanje do pete godine svoje naukovanje.

Watering is the lifeblood of the garden so pay close attention to the needs of your plants and make sure you have the tools to provide for them. Navodnjavanje je lifeblood u vrt tako da plaćate zatvoriti pozornost na potrebe vašeg postrojenja i provjerite da li imate alati dati za njih. Let’s start with that watering can. Počnimo s koje kanta za zalijevanje. If you only have a few pots and window boxes, this is probably all the watering system you’ll need. Ako imate samo nekoliko lonci i okvire prozora, ovo je vjerojatno sve navodnjavanje sustav trebat će vam. Don’t skimp and get those plastic cans with the plastic roses that never survive the first season. Nemojte štedjeti i dobiti one plastične limenke s plastične ruže da nikada nije prezivjelo prvi sezone. I got my can at a flea market for ten bucks and it was probably 25 years old when I bought it. JA je dobio moj buha može na tržište za deset dolara ili eura i to je bio vjerojatno 25 godina kad sam ga kupio. It’s now 32, and although it IS worn I’ll wring a few more years out of it and then it’ll become a planter (ever see a plastic can you wanted to do that with?) To je sada 32, i iako je nošen ću stiskanje nekoliko godina iz nje i tada će postati vlasnik plantaže (ikada vidjeti od plastike mogu ti htio da uradi da s?)

Upturned hoses are something to look for as they provide a gentle cascade rather than a hundred little jet streams of water. Upturned crijeva su nešto da izgleda kao oni pružaju blagi cascade nego sto malo jet potoci vode. Like any other garden tool, hoses should be lifetime purchases (well, close). Kao i bilo koji drugi alat za vrt, crijeva treba biti doživotno kupi (dobro, u neposrednoj blizini). Buy good rubber hoses and stow them appropriately and they will last indefinitely; there are so many good storage systems out there now that you can find something in your budget (With 200' of hose I’m eye-balling those new self-winding numbers). Kupite dobre gumene cijevi i stow ih na odgovarajući način i oni će trajati indefinitely; postoji toliko dobra sustave pohranjivanja koje su se ondje sada možete pronaći nešto u svoj proračun (s 200 'nogavica sam oku-gruda one nove self-navijanje brojevi ).

Remember, stowing appropriately does not include coiled on the ground, no matter how neatly you do it. Zapamtite, stowing na odgovarajući način ne uključuje namotan na zemlju, bez obzira koliko lijepo ste to učiniti. A spray head or wand is a must and I’m really fond of these dialing nozzle types that turn the hose into a lot of different tools. A sprej glavu ili dirigent štap je mora i sam stvarno fond od tih vrsta biranje nos da uključite crijeva u mnogo različitih alata. Mist for wetting seed flats, shower for general watering, full for filling the watering can, flat spray for a water broom, jet for shooting the significant other from the other side of the yard; the list goes on and on. Magla za vlaženje sjeme stanovi, tuš za opće navodnjavanje, puna za punjenje kanta za zalijevanje, stan sprej za vodu metle, jet za gađanje na značajan od drugih s druge strane dvorištu, popis ide na i na. This is my third place nod for cool tool, try it, you’ll like it. Ovo je moj treći mjesto za drijemanje cool tool, pokušajte ga, bit će Vam se svidjeti.

Finally in the water category, we have the sprinkler. Konačno u kategoriji vode, imamo sprinkler. SO many types; I bought one with a dialing head (it worked on the wand) and I hate it. Toliko vrsta, ja kupio jedan s biranje glavu (to je radio na dirigent štap) i ja mrzim. Leaks like a sieve. Leaks kao sito. The old stand-by for me is the pivoting head type with adjustable return; I can close it down to a 10° arc and adjust the length of spray with the set screw. Stara stand-by za mene je pivotiranje glavu tipa s podesivim vratiti; mogu zatvoriti ga dolje do 10 ° arc i prilagoditi duljinu sprej s utični vijak. That in itself makes it a good all-around choice, but you should look around and find the sprinkler that works for your space. Da u sebi ga čini dobro All-Around izbor, ali ti bi trebao izgledati okolo i naći sprinkler da radi za svoj prostor. Maybe it’s not a sprinkler at all. Soaker hoses are a great way to deliver the H²O and good for the environment; no wasted water (and they can’t see you watering during a restriction…). Možda to nije sprinkler na sve. Soaker crijeva su sjajan način za dostavu H ² O i dobro za okoliš; ne izgubiti vodu (i ne mogu vidjeti vas navodnjavanje tijekom ograničenje…).

Selecting your garden tools should be a fun and personal process; we’re all going to develop a cool tool list of our own. Odaberete li vaš vrt alata trebao bi biti zabavno i osobne proces; smo sve do odlaska razviti alat za cool listu vlastite. I have stuck (adamantly) to hand tools; power tools are a subject of topic (and debate) for another day. Ja sam zaglavi (adamantly) u ruke alate; power tools su predmet temu (i rasprava) za drugi dan. Buy the best you can afford and maintain them; cutting oil and white lithium grease are what passes for love with your tools. Prodaja najbolje što si možete priuštiti i održavati ih; rezanje ulje i litij bijela mast su ono što prolazi za ljubav sa svojim alatima. I always remember what my grandfather said, “Buy the best and you’ll always be happy with your purchase. I uvijek zapamti ono što je moj djed je rekao, "Kupi najbolje i da ćete uvijek biti zadovoljni s kupnjom. ” He was a wise old man… "Bio je mudar stari…
