Gardening is a versatile hobby and every gardening season there emerges a new toy for the avid gardener. These are usually designed when gardeners perceive a need and there is nothing available in the market to satisfy that need.

Tool cleaner and lubricant: Cleaning and keeping your gardening tools in working order is quite a job and often ignored by many gardeners. The fact is that tools are expensive and you need to maintain them regularly. A silicone based cleaner cum lubricant that is not runny and does not stain should do the job.

Gardening Gloves: It is a personal choice whether to have gardening gloves or not. Some gardeners cannot work without them and even have different gloving for different jobs. Women fond of gardening find is a convenient accessory for keeping their hands protected from cuts, bruises and hardening from handling tools.

Organic Soil: You need this if you are growing plants in pots and an alternative to using garden soil in containers. Organic potting soil is healthy, living soil containing compost, worm castings and live organisms. It eliminates the use of fertilizers for plants to make it through the season. However, it is not expensive and hard to find.

Cold Frames: Each spring your seedlings will grow large enough indoors or in the greenhouse, if you have one. This is the time to move them out but they may not be strong enough to withstand the cold outside. You need to harden off young seedlings, which is a system of gradual exposure to wind, sun and rain. Cold frames are designed to insulate young plants when temperatures drop and at the same time allow them to acclimatize to the outdoor climate.
