What supplies do you need to start a garden?
I have a garden plot but it’s just dirt with some tanbark on top. what supplies do i need to prepare it? I just moved and i dont even have a hose.thanks

You will need to get a hose for sure! Also you will need at least a shovel and a rake. A rototiller would be good to rent or borrow if it a good size plot. Depending on the quality of the soil you might need compost mixed in . I would remove the tan bark instead of mixing it into the garden soil though other would just mix it in .you will have so much enjoyment! I had my first tomato yesterday from my garden .

If I were to start a gardening club at my school what kind of supplies would I need to buy for us to use?
Hypothetically speaking, that is. This is a project for my economics class. (However we do have a chance at actually getting this to happen) I need to know what kind of supplies to get. I’ve never done gardening before but the idea was proposed by my partner. I’ll handle how much to get and researching the places to buy/the cost…. but it would be really helpful if someone with experience in gardening could help me out in preparing the equipment/materials. Any tips would be VERY appreciated, too! Thanks a lot!!!

First thing would be to have your soil checked and see what you might be missing and need to add. Not sure how much they charge for that. With that done, collecting the needed supplies wont be cheap. Renting a tiller would be the best- you really don’t want to own one they break down a lot. Once the area is tilled, its time to add what the soil is missing, and u will need rakes- there are 2 kind, one fan, one straight tine. Actually you might need both. And lets don’t forget, the shovel’s to break up the clods. There are 2 types of them also – flat head and pointed, use both. The 2 shovel’s will help break up the soil. Ok now if your half dead now you will need to amend the soil with rake and shovel, Buy some seeds, and some fertilize that are made for them. Plant the seeds water them in. Oh, yea that’s one hose, length and water source? Next you will need markers to remember where what is planted, and if the plant is a vine, or needs a trellis, cage for tomatoes. Then you have to keep watering them if there is no rain, and if there is you have to watch so the seeds wont go where there not suppose to. Then watch it grow.
Richard asks…
What is a way to get donated plants and supplies to start gardens at my middle school?
I work for Jackson Public Schools in Jackson, MS and am planning to celebrate Earth Day on April 22 by planting flowers and need potting soil, flowers, etc. I cannot afford all of this on my own. Any suggestions?

Call around to your local nurseries. If they donate the things to your school, they can get a tax deduction for it, plus it’s free advertising for them.
