Professional gardeners know that stretching before a big gardening session will prevent them from incurring any injuries on the job. The winter is a time when most of us feel stiff but by being in shape we can get a lot more done.
Another factor is wearing the right gardening gear. Rain boots that will keep your feet dry in all weathers in addition to long trousers and long-sleeved shirts to keep you warm and dry. You might also want to consider wearing gloves, a hat and sun glasses. Not only will these make you more comfortable but they will also protect you from the elements.
Having the right tools such as knee pads, a hoe, a shovel, a rake and fork will all help to make light work of the job. A wheel barrow will help to move plants, tools and soil from one aware to the next.
Gardening product essentials include insect control, ant killer, weed killer and insecticides. Small containers and sprayers are needed to distribute these products. Read the container to take a note of safety concerns and safe storage suggestions.
Finally, as you complete each task, be sure to take a break so that you can keep your energy up. Stop before you get too tired and remember that it’s essential that you stay hydrated as you work. It will help you to stay in good health and to be safe but productive. Gardening is to be enjoyed and with the right preparation and gear, it’s far more likely that you will.
