As a beginner, the gardening equipment and tools section of your local DIY store can seem a little daunting, so start with the basics. You don’t need a lot to start out with, but the key is to buy individual items that are perfectly suited to you.

Digging and cultivating brings hidden weed seeds to the surface. If you would like more information to help you along, click here:
