Fall planting season is just around the corner so make sure you have the right tools to make your container gardening more efficient. Here’s the scoop about our 5 favorite gardening tools that we can not live without!

Garden Knife: Julie and I never plant without our garden knives. The knife can cut through roots in an outdoor pot without any problem. The serrated edges also can open bags of mulch or soil if you don't have scissors handy. The garden knife is also a perfect tool for planting bulbs in flower beds.
Potting Scoop: We love the large potting scoop because you can add new soil quickly to a planter.
Hand-held Pruning Saw: If you have really, really stubborn roots we suggest a hand-held pruning saw. We call this the “magic knife”. We don’t have to use it often, but it sure makes work quicker when those plants are super rooted and won’t come out easily any other way.
Nitrile Gardening Gloves: We are big fans of nitrile gardening gloves because they are not bulky and you can pop them in the washing machine.
7-Gallon Tubtrug: When we go onsite to plant, we load all these tools into a 7-gallon tub trug. We have these tubtrugs in every color. We usually bring at least 3 of these when we plant and use the empty ones for the old plants that we are removing from the planters. These are also very handy when you are weeding a flower bed.
