Raised Garden Bed Tools

Men and toys--it's a cliche because it's true. But women like gadgets too. And women usually organize their tools--though men can point to tools blindfolded and know which is which. What toys do you need for a DIY raised garden bed? We've asked the advice of several men and women. Here's a short list, and several of them work for a raised bed garden kit:

• Level for soil in the above ground garden
• Sod stripper for clearing space for raised garden beds
• Rented hand tamper for the soil
• Spade
• Pitchfork
• Shovel
• Rake
• Trowel
• Rototiller for the cleared soil and the initial soil you place in the bed
