Equipment planning question

[breakersix]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]What are common, daily use, bulk items or equipment that there never seems to be enough of, or are always breaking or being lost, or are that obvious thing no one thought of until they were 30 miles out of town?

Alternately: The cyclical, quarterly, seasonal purchases?

Looking to streamline purchasing, and hopefully get some volume discount and a little backstock for a grow I've been invited to, in order to minimize interruptions.

Not seeking a detailed inventory. Just the 5-10 things a number of you guys have seen repeatedly forgotten, busted, or needed for every new grow.


Thanks for your time. [/FONT]

Since we are in the outdoor forum.. Shovel handles.Work Gloves. Other than that it's probably dictated by what peculiar equipment you are using in that grow.
You can always buy quality if the budget permits.

Scissors, pruners, a litany of irrigation parts, sun tan lotion, rolling papers, gorilla tape, twist ties, and burritos. In that order.

Oh yeah, always have a backup pump if you use pumps for watering.

Good partners that you can trust . I second the backup pump and burritos

If you're doing big plants, I run out of zip ties, trellis material, bamboo and t-posts
