    Well it depends on what you are wanting to do. For just general upkeep you will need a mower, weed eater and rake. But if you are wanting to plant anything you will need a shovel (spade) and a garden rake. You can leave the old mulch there and add new it is better for the soil you can also turn the mulch into the ground using a shovel then add your new mulch. Hope that helps Good luck..

    I agree with Sara, but will add that you’ll probably need a hose and nozzle also. Have fun!

    Sara, good luck with your garden in TN.
