I used to have an allotment where i used the large garden fork and a hoe, i miss it so much, but now i am growing veggies in the garden along with some ornamentals and i use my favourite hand fork most often, but i also have a trug full of hand tools, string, gloves, a chopstick etc

I really enjoyed this! So funny at times. Brilliant collab ladies. I must sit somewhere in the middle of you both. I know you don’t view my vegetable plot as a garden but it’s part of my garden/home, so I do weed it thoroughly and I spent 2 hours yesterday dead heading. I don’t fit the form over function for my vegetable garden. I like pretty too. I’m a bit obsessed. I do have a hori hori, a lovely gift, but it’s not completely practical for me as I’m left handed. The serrated edge is on the wrong side for me, so generally I prefer to plant out with a trowel. I love the wolf Garten hoe that Emma has for breaking up the hard top layer of capped beds. I also have the hand tool handle, so have a small claw/cultivator and a larger one for the longer handle. A mattock and my trusty rake. I have a manual mower and a cordless strimmer, as my lawn edges extend a fair way from electric sockets. Also love my hedge cutter and have several secateurs and snips. The favourite tool I have access to though is the mini digger. Makes big jobs so much easier! I realise that’s not an every day tool for the masses Again.. love this ladies. I nearly fell about laughing at the humour of this. So mischievous 😂🥰🥰

I'm with you on the Hori Hori! I'm on my third one. I will wear the serrated blade all the way flat. When I first got this home, since it's on a corner, I have a sidewalk going up each Street. The grass was out of control. I literally sat down on the ground and my neighbors probably thought I was crazy but I took my Hori Hori and cut along the edge of every sidewalk to cut the sod nice and sharp!! I don't need one of those expensive gas operated or battery operated grass edging tools, when I'm only going to use it once to get everything straight. Now I just keep it touched up all the time with the string trimmer. I should buy a file and actually create teeth again on it but it's okay. I use the more dull Hori Hori for planters I dont want to damage in any way. Also use my Hori Hori in holes for sawing roots. Like you, I use it everyday. My 2nd favorite tool is the "Stirrup Hoe!" I have a full size one I can use while standing and I have a hand sized one. I saw Charles Dowding easily walking casually through the garden disturbing his weeds with it!! It's glorious. It's shaped like a stirrup of course. I attempted to make one DIY. I took a handle and I tried to attach a metal band that would be just as effective at slicing the top layer of soil off, but nothing was as sturdy as buying something made for the job!! Another bonus.. The Stirrip Hoe is exactly as wide as a brick paver. All of my inground flower beds around the house have bricks for the edging. I can easily take that tool and create a nice moat, to lay those bricks down in. If you ever need to get rid of some Sod quickly by peeling it away, she's your new tool!! It's similar to the hoes you have shown, but can go much deeper and also has nice sturdy corners for tight spots. You can go ahead and take all my other tools away! *In the end, the best tools that we have, and all we need, is our hands! Question: I'm really really interested in getting a pair of Felco's, but with that type of investment I wanted to know what size you use, Eli?? I have small hands as well. I've been watching Laura from garden answer used the whole line (and sell them from their online shop) for years now. But I'm just not sure! Which number do you like??

Hori hori, secateurs/snips, kneeling mat and gloves are the things I use constantly. I do have a dibber but tbh I just use the hori hori. Plenty of other tools get used when needed but if I could only have 1 tool it would be the hori hori, for sure. My newest tool is the broadfork and that's actually been a great addition for my compacted soil which trying to practice no dig. Oh and I'm all for thin gloves in size small but they can be so hard to find! And sometimes a small is not a small! Wilkos used to do a Junior glove which was perfect but now my go to is Briers green bamboo ones in small - try those Eli - so good.

I barely use my shovel to be honest! It’s funny how everyone has different ways of working. I use my pickaxe waaaay more than the large shovel, it’s so much quicker to move and break up a large amount of soil. I also use my hoe to stir my compost heap. I bought a couple of wet willies as a joke, but very quickly realised how amazing they are for being very precise with where I plant my seeds. I use them when potting and sowing all the time! The penknife and blade sharpeners are also used loads. What about the trusty watering cans, wheel barrows, buckets and knee pads? Things I couldn’t live without! The knee pad doubles as a small stool, and I also use it as foot stool to reach just out of reach places. Very handy! Things I don’t use as much as I thought: soil moisture and ph checker, the sieve, the large fork, the stiff rake (I use the leaf rake more)

This is hilarious! I live in a very hot, subtropical area in the US, that also experiences 7-8 months of drought. When neighbors move in from cold climates, they purchase a zillion garden items for the garden and/or lawn care. It only takes 12 months before they have hired a maintenance service, and the equipment/tools sit in the garage untouched. LOL 😂 I deal with the difficult conditions by working in the yard for only 6 months, and then leave everything alone the other 6 months except for occasional mowing.

I can climb well, but I've fallen off ladders too often because the ground gives way) . I also have fencing tools like wire cutters and pliers. As well as most of the stuff you have!

Tried to watch this during my lunch break and kept having to stop as I was laughing too hard 😂 so relatable! Mattock is an absolute must where I live. Heavy compacted clay soil. Sometimes it's the only way to get a weed out of the sunbaked clay 😅 I've been dying to get a hori hori, but haven't been able to afford the one I want just yet. My hand trowel gets the most use out of all my tools at the moment, followed by my secateurs. I hate mowing, so my home garden is lawn-free. Only the nature strip that's Council-owned by maintained by residents (me) has an assortment of weeds that the council considers to be lawn haha Garden fork and shovel are probably my most commonly used of the big tools. Not often needed, but when I do, it's because I need something bigger and stronger to do a tougher job. I also adore my watering can. It's a posh one as you would say, it actually comes from the UK, and cost an eye-watering amount for an Australian, but I can't go back to a plastic watering can that ends up disintegrating in the summer sun after using this beauty I have now. 😁

It's fascinating seeing tools from other areas of the world! The thing you and Emma call just a "hoe" is a shape I've never seen before, and the shape I know as a hoe is more similar to Emma's "draw hoe", which is a term I've never heard before! The one I know is mostly used for chopping down through clods and truly stubborn weeds...although I don't have one myself. I don't actually buy tools until I have a specific need that I can't accomplish with what I already have. I'm definitely taking notes for things I might want in future, such as a hori hori, and now a flamethrower like Kate's! And a fork that's strong enough not to bend out of shape when I find an unexpected tree root has been on my wishlist forever. But so far I don't have any tools of my own that I don't use.

Fantastic video ....love your sense of humour & fun .... Its very true though .... if you have a garden ....you do tend to only use certain tools ..... How often do you clean /maintain your tools please ? 😊😊😊🌻🌻🐝🐝

Hiya, I’ve brought a huge polycarbonate greenhouse and I’d just like to know if my plants will still ripen and do as good as a glass greenhouse because I had a glass one but it got completely broken and it devastated me so I thought I’d try out polycarbonate greenhouse and I want to have planters going along my garden too similar to yours but I haven’t had any experience with a polycarbonate greenhouse and I know you have so I just thought I’d ask you! Thanks so much for your videos I’ve learnt a lot these past few weeks from your helpful videos!

@eliandkate 5 ай бұрын
The polycarbonate greenhouses these days are really good, much much better options than any of the ones back when I bought mine I’d say there should be no difference between your experiences then and now 😍 Obviously the same stuff still applies as with any new greenhouse regardless of materials, you’ll need to take time to learn its foibles but it should be grand 😁

Great collaboration between you and Emma, thought it was going to turn into a horror movie with Kate and her chainsaw! Loved seeing the difference between gardening tools versus allotment tools. I have lots of tools from when I had the garden that I rarely use now. Great update, thanks very much 😊

I know I need a new shovel! I broke my favourite one the other day out in the garden while using it. The handle snapped in two and gouged my leg: I got a huge blood sample from the scratches and now lovely colours of black and blue are showing up. 😢😂😂
