Answer 1

My basic tools are much fewer than 15.

One Spade
One hand trowel
One garden fork
A Wheelbarrow
A leaf rake
Good hand pruners
Lopers - for the stuff too big for hand pruners

Anything else is a luxury.

for pictures of tools, and descriptions. I have 2 trowels, one for digging out weeds and planting things,and one for planting bulbs; a small spade for digging out larger plants to transplant, a spading fork to dig potatoes, bulbs, etc and for dividing perennials. I have a shovel for digging up my garden, a scoop shovel for moving gravel, manure, and other things. I have a hay fork for turning my compost pile. I have a pair of pruners for cutting back things and deadheading plants. I have a pruning saw and a bow saw for pruning and cutting up things. I have a garden rake for smoothing my soil and moving gravel around. I have a leaf rake for leaves and other garden detrius. I have a mattock for digging up heavy weed clumps and rocks when I am digging a new planting bed or planting a tree. I also have a pick for when the mattock isn't big enough. I have a pair of pruning shears for clipping my evergreens. And a wheelbarrow. There are a few more tools in my toolshed, but those are the ones I couldn't garden without.

Answer 3

Fifteen? Why spend all your money on tools. I'd rather spend money on plants and seeds. Here's my list of necessary implements:

Two good hands, strong back, good old dirt, pruners (mine are Corona,) 6" drop forged trowel, leaf rake, shovel. "And that's all I need." Steve Martin, The Jerk. (I think that's the movie.)

Think you get the "picture" and the importance of each are self explanatory.
