My 5 Favourite Tools in the Garden



There are so many different types of tools that can be useful when growing vegetables, and over the years a few have become my favourite.

    A much better variant of the wire weeder, IMHO, is this tool:

    I have linked the commercial version, but mine is made from a similarly shaped wooden handle and a loop of metal strapping salvaged from a pallet. I use it constantly, have had it for 20 years or so, and am only on my 2nd piece of strapping. The handle is made from cedar, which is very soft and light, but a bit of filler epoxy has kept it going so far.

    Ima just skip this and go watch some Indian dudes build an underground pool with their hands. If they don't need tools neither do I.

    Where did you get the scythe from? We bought an abandoned property in Kerry and I need to clear lots of overgrown ground.

    In my opinion you are a gardener – scientist with very innovative (and sometimes very simple) ideas. I love your approach because it seems to me that you don't want to teach everybody but you only share your knowledge. In spite of this i learned a lot of things!…Greetings from northen Italy (Castana, Oltrepo pavese, 60 km south of Milan)

    After your years of experience, is there advise you would share about greenhouse designs you favor?

    Thank you very much for this video. I have a question: Are you using a specific app on your phone to keep tract of your data? Thank you!

    I am very curious about the data entry software you were using. I would like to see more about it : what it is, how you use it etc. Thanks for the great vid !

    What app or program do you use to keep track of your growing notes? Asking for a farmer friend who needs something besides muddy scraps of paper! Thanks!

    I keep a pointy switch blade knife clipped to my covies where i can get at it quick! It has proven indispensable in the garden cutting stems, twine,scraping stem ends for cuttings…and if a wild squash bug ever tries to attack me ,well he just better think twice!
