Welcome to Good Gardening! In our week 11 discussion, we wanted to know what kind of garden tool our good gardeners need. We have received many applications. Here are some of the ones we liked...
Esther Colwell must have read the post this Friday when I started scraping the remaining mold off the gourd vines the following Sunday with my trusty hori-hori, a typical Japanese tool also called a utility knife (レジャーナイフ) . , rejā naifu ) or "sansai knife" (山菜ナイフ, sansai naifu). "It" is an onomatopoeia of the sound of digging. However, Esther also uses one.
It was given to me many years ago by my Aunt Marian, who also loved gardening,” wrote Esther. “It's great for tough weeds like dandelion root, blackberry and poison oak.
Monica Richards, a certified permaculture specialist, wrote that the only thing she uses is herself, a "scum".
On social media, we've heard Emily Stover praise the "halo saw," a precise removal tool that can be used from a standing position, the same position that GNN founder Jerry Weiss-Corbley uses on the mini. a rake to remove debris around the trunks of important plants.
“He who sings in summer dances in winter” is an Italian proverb.
