For readers of my book Seed to Plate: A Homesteading Gardening Guide & Cookbook, this page is your dedicated resource section. I’ll be adding and updating tools, links, and recommendations here as a companion to what you’re learning in the book.
Having the right tools on hand is one of the most important steps to a successful garden. There are so many gadgets and products people recommend, but truthfully — you don’t need a ton. I’ve kept this list simple, practical, and realistic.
Every tool I mention here is something I personally use in my own organic garden.
I highly suggest getting these items before the gardening season begins. I can’t stress this enough — once the season is rolling, it’s often too late to wait on shipping or run to the store.
Some things you can find locally at big-box stores, but I’ve also linked most items through Amazon for convenience.
These are my affiliate links, which means the price stays the same for you, and I earn a small commission that helps support this website. Thank you for supporting what I do here — it truly means more than you know.
