The World's Best Garden Tool: Hori Hori | Fresh P
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The world's best garden tool is a Hori Hori, a Japanese digging knife. Heavy steal forged into a slender trowel that's great for digging, prying and breaking up hard clumps. The serrated edge is perfect for sawing through stubborn weeds or hacking back some briars. Once you garden with the Hori Hori, you won't want to be without it. Ever.
This is a good Hori Hori with a comfortable handle: www.amazon.com/...

That was a really fun video,
I loved it. It was fun to watch.
I'll bet a Wranglerstar made Hori would be a great gift idea.
DEW W I was thinking the same thing about Cody making a Hori !!!
DEW W lol
You know, some family heirloom steel, homestead hickory handles and just a proper enough tool for a makers mark...
I bet you three had a blast putting this video together. Laughter is the best medicine.
Peace, good health, and stay safe.
Thanks Lemmik. We will. It was a fun and funny day.
I agree 100%. I've had my Hori Hori for over 3 yrs now and I love it! Mine actually helped spark a relationship... when I moved to my current home a neighbor came over to welcome me and I was working up a flower bed in the back yard. When she saw the Hori Hori she was like, "what the heck is that?!" and made some comment about it looking like a "Rambo knife". Anyway, the conversation continued and it turned out that she was a bit of a gardener also. After a few weeks of casual conversations, I ended up getting her a Hori Hori as a gift. I got a kiss in return! You can fill in the rest for yourself (;
Hori Hori love!! That's awesome. Do you take it with you when you're out and about? Like a puppy. I can see it working with the gardening gals.
nothing better than having fun with what you love to do. carry on fresh P
So true. Thanks. I will.
Oh my goodness, my two favorite smiles in the entire world in the same video. You two are just love served with a warn roll and perfect coffee in the morning. I have to admit that I laughed out loud and often during this video. You two are hilarious. I almost feel bad for Cody, but with you two around life is as good as it gets.
Thank you for sharing, thank you for giving me a smile on a Monday night, thank you for lifting my heart.
You two are the best.
Be love, be loved, and be lovable.
cringe
My two favorite UA-cam ladies in one video, life is good. Your smile, laughter and personalities just make it a better day, thank you.
Ahhh, you're so sweet.
What's not to like, beautiful ladies, gardening, music and knives....:o)
Good job ladies ....thanks for the video !!
Stay safe !
You're welcome. Thank you for watching. Maybe I should have included the outtake of my battle wounds; a blood blister from jousting with Mrs. W and a knot on my heat from Jack and the water bottle scene. Those Wranglerstars are tough.
If cody watches this im almost betting to belive next week that thing slices right threw those bottles man this was awesome! Glad to see ya back safe in the pnw :)
Thanks TAC. It was fun to shoot. I didn't understand the bottle scene but Cody assured me that you guys would.
Lol people test how sharp things are by cutting threw water bottles like that not sure why but thats the gig.have a good one. Gonna be a buisy month daughter turns 1 :( and mobe begining of next! Wooohooo
FUN!
Drink in every minute of her.
Holy crap this is great. Literally ran out to buy myself a hori hori after seeing this
You will LOVE it!
FRESH PRINCESS picked up the one made by fiskars, im convinced this is the best garden tool, definitely beats the machete I've been using!
Great video. Thank you for the laugh and silly demos.
You ladies are AWESOME! I love these fun videos as well!
it was a blast to film/edit. Thanks for being here.
You ladies are having too much fun. Pretty impressive when you stuck the tree (made me jealous). Before long you will be strapping folks to a rotating wheel and throwing knifes at the board blindfolded. Mrs. Wranglerstar can bring the bear. I bet she has already trained it and I know Cody can juggle chainsaws and axes. I have used retired kitchen knifes before and they worked good so can see the Hori Hori being handy as a side pocket.
That was fun... eyes a-twinkling... and giggles and laughter galore. Thanks Corinne! :-)
☺️
FRESH PRINCESS You absolutely cracked me up. :-)
Awesome sister-in-laws! Fun times! Good memories!!
funny! l!You two are great together , very creative! And looks like an amazing tool!!
It is. You need one.
Pretty cute use instructions! Can't wait to try my son's mother's day to me ... just arrived today!
Nice done Ladies!! Mrs Wranglestar, your laugh is worth a thousand dollar, take care to never loose it!!!!
The hori hori folk should hire y'all for advertising!
They wouldn't be able to manage us.
FRESH PRINCESS That's probably true! :-)
What an idea. You two are a hoot!
Great carving job. I like the Swedish Horses.
Hori cow! Love it. Thanks for the laughs.
You're welcome. I bet I got more laughs out of it. It was a hilarious project to film. And edit. Thanks for watching.
BTW Mrs Wranglerstar. THANK GOD FOR SWEDEN! For the 6th time this year I used my ne Husqvarna weedeater, I love it compaired to my old el cheapo. Runs so much better, has more power and easier to start. makes lawn work a breeze!
I thought she looked familiar
THAT, was funny. Good job fresh and Mrs. Wranglerstar. I like the fact that you can use the blade to pry. I need to keep my eye out for one.
You two are a hoot together!!! Wonderful video!!!!!!!
:D two cheese balls making a party out of it.
I love the bottle "cutting" part, that was too funny.
Very cute. Never heard of that tool before, thanks for the info.
I loved the carving scenes.. that was super funny..
We're such idiots!! I'm glad you liked it. It was hilarious to edit.
Funny you should post this while I've been hunting for a hori hori but haven't been able to find a good one at the stores where I've looked. Finally ordered online and can't wait to receive it. Fun, fun video!
Cool Marsha. I'm happy that I could help. Have you had one before?
FRESH PRINCESS No, Corrin, I haven't but I've wanted one. I have an antique spade that's all one piece so no breakage there but it's a bit too wide and not sharp enough for a lot of things. I think the hori hori will be extremely useful, especially to get the weeds that pop up in the gravel where my raised beds are as one example. I hate pesticides and am all for organic gardening but the weeds are killing me. LOL
You will LOVE it.
The thing I absorbed most from the video was love of family .....and fun.
Hope yer well young lady...stay safe !
I do adore those three. I'm so lucky.
ooook oook have to go add this to my wishlist and get my Mom one a as well! Good Quality tools seem so rare these days!
They are.
Fun for you, fun for us. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. Thank you for being here.
well... mrs. wranglerstar really got the hat for saying: That's not a knife......THIS is a knife... good video girls, I enjoyed it.
Oh good. Thanks for watching.
You two are verrry funny. Great video.
You two kids are a hoot soooo much fun a BIG thank you for a big laugh you sure are fun to watch. ..... next time sneak Jack in with you I am sure he would like that and be good as well, ( Jack reminds me of my grate grandson Wade) THANKS ... good music as well
Ah thanks Jim, we had fun. I have footage of Jack giving me a goose egg on the head...
:)
Very cool, liked the music too! Tooo cute! Thanks, enjoyed it!
You're welcome.
I guess the Hori Hori is going on my list of things to buy. Great video!
You'll thank me later. I put a link to a good one, that feels nice in the hand. It's under the video box. $30 for a quality Hori Hori is a good deal. You can find them for 15-20 but they're crappy. It's worth a little extra to get a solid one.
FRESH PRINCESS I will definitely get that one. Thanks!
I absolutely love this video! Never heard of this tool but I'm going to get one. Thank you! :-)
JuicingGardener (Sheryl Mann) Oh you're going to LOVE it.
Very funny and well thought out video ladies!
The final old western scene with the water bottles was priceless
;D
Great vid and I agree, a hori hori is my go to tool for everything in the garden. I love it so much I bought an extra just so I wouldn't be without. Two is one and all that.
Nice video Ladies, I wish my wife had have used one of those in the garden last year instead of my big bowie.
Another great video, thank you. Saw you on facebook, great pics.
Thanks.
That was so fun to watch!!! Glad you both survived the duel as well :) I also enjoyed both of you "horsing" around...You are both amazing :)
Ha ha ha.
Won't be long and we'll see the two of you on some Saturday afternoon infomercial. lol !
Never heard of it but you know I'll be looking! Thanks for a fun video.
ps...more cowbell, the puppies and these two chicas. I find it amazing that everytime I am looking at a tool or item y'all seem to have a video about it. ty...getting this for my bro for a present.
Looks like you both had a fantastic day!
It was a great day.
I'll try to be brief with this post. I'm 45, no kids, separated from my wife, currently live 250 miles from my nearest family, and have absolutely no reason to continue living where I currently live. I have a lot of reasons for wanting to move. I've been watching Cody's videos for about two years and yours since you started. Between you and his family's videos you all have me convinced that the thing I have been missing and seeking my whole life is the location and lifestyle you all have. I've decided to move, buy land, and hand build a small cabin to live in the rest of my life. I grew up living in the city and never liked it. I've lived in the country off and on for the last 25 years and much prefer it to how I was raised. I've begun selling my property, trimming my fat, and getting my ducks in a row ready to make my move. Within the next month I'll be debt free and have only my house left to finish remodeling and sell. Based on what I've learned from watching from Codys videos, and what I've read on the internet I have a fairly good idea of where he lives and at what altitude. As near as I can tell this area is perfect for what I want to do with the rest of my life. I'm planning on buying a Harley and traveling out your direction sometime around September to look at land, cities, jobs, etc. I have no friends or family living anywhere near you all to ask questions of. As odd as it sounds, the one thing that could be a deal breaker for me moving out to Oregon are the critters of the night. I'm a night person and like to spend time sitting on my porch and working in my garage at night. A big part of what I enjoy about the night are the sounds of the animals. Where I live in southern Missouri we have cyotes, fox, deer, the rare bear, rare mountain lion, and rare wolf. I'm very used to being outside at night and having a large critters sneak up on me and make their presence known. I especially love listening to the cyotes and fox at night. I also very much love listening to the frogs and toads singing. I won't be able to spend but maybe 4-5 days out in Oregon as it will take a few days to get there and back, and there are other places I plan on visiting out west also. My question of you is this. Being as I can only spend 4-5 days sleeping out in the woods in Oregon in September I won't be able to get real feel for the sounds of the night. Sounds also change with the season. Right now in Missouri the toads and frogs are singing at night and its a special time of year for me for that reason. Could you please tell me if Oregon has frogs and toads and if they sing at night there. I couldn't imagine living someplace where I never heard them again. We also have locusts here singing at night. Does Oregon have a locust season? Are there other critters and bugs that sing at night in Oregon during various seasons. I know it sounds odd that night sounds, or the lack of them could prevent a person from living someplace but I find with me it's very true. I need them like I need air, they are very important to me. Could you tell please tell what night sounds like in Oregon throughout the year. What you have to say could either encourage me to move northwest, or prevent me from making a huge mistake. Thanks P, I value your input and trust your advice. If you would prefer to answer me privately my email is joebonomono@gmail.com my actual name is Paul.
Paul, I'm not sure if you've been out west, but the PNW coastal zone is a temperate rain forest, the only other one that I'm aware of is New Zealand. So along the coast and the coastal range in the small patches of undisturbed forest, you will find ferns and moss dripping with moisture year round. Southern coastal Oregon has a meritime climate, averaging around 68 year round, growing more defined as you move away from the coast; the winters are mellow and the summers are often colder than inland. The frogs, lizards, newts and creatures that live in temperate forests abound. As do bear, coyote, bobcats, mountain lions, etc. I've lived here on and off my whole life and never seen one, but hunters find them all the time if they have dogs. Just beyond Cody and I to the east is high dessert. You can google the town of Bend to get an idea of what a developed part of the state looks like from the center. Here you dont have the amphibian noises because its dry, but you do get coyotes. On the very east of Oregon is a tiny town pushed up against the Wallowa mountains. Its high dessert rural, the two towns to google are Joseph and Enterprise. They're a mix of ranching and art. Wild, rugged and dry. Sunny rather than rainy. Because of this diversity Oregon and Washington and even Idaho have micro climates within microclimates. Peoples settlement patterns effect nature drastically, so the more industrialized a town city, the less diverse nature. Most of the state has deer/elk populations, badgers, bear, cougar, bobcat, beaver, squirrels, you name it. But not in cities obviously, or around areas with huge farmed plots. So think of Oregon and Washington from west to east, wet and super moist on the coast to high desert arid in the east. We live on the cusp of the arid part where pines and oaks live, with 30% more sun than the willamette valley, but not as much moss and ferns. I get the occasional frog in my garden singing to me, but the place is brimming with lizards. I hope that helps. I know I didn't directly answer your question about night sounds, but I feel I owe you an accurate portrayal of the diversity of the state and what you can expect. Crater Lake is in the southern coastal range, so you can google tat and get an idea. Land is big out here.
Can I point out a personal observations?
Thank you for your reply. I have not been out west as an adult, only as a child and I don't remember it. Its only been the last five years or so that I have given much thought to where exactly I need to be. I left Kansas City and moved to southern Missouri 15 years ago to look after my mom. She was in poor health. I never expected to be here very long as I didn't think she would live more than a few years. As it turned out she lived until 2 years ago. Now with her death and the break up of my marriage its time to finally move on. Whenever I've told people about what I'm looking for they always tell me Oregon. I started youtubing the things that interest me and repeatedly I found Codys videos and so I started following him. He's a guy who is living the life I would like to. I'm an introvert and don't really like leaving my property. I'm very content wandering around my yard talking to bugs, squirels, toads, and my trees. That may sound odd, but these trees are trees I planted and get my fruit from. The squirels in my yard aren't just any squirels, they are my squirels and they live in my yard. The same goes for the rabbits and spiders. It makes perfect sense to me to greet them and talk to them as I walk my property telling them its nice to see them, that they look good today, thanks for the peaches, whatever. I like to fill my day tinkering around planting, building, and repairing, basically everything Cody does. I've decided to just embrace this aspect of my personality and commit to it rather than work against it by living a more conventional lifestyle like I was raised. I've decided to buy about 10 acres because I feel that's the minimum I can be comfortable on and it should be large enough to provide what I will require for the rest of my life. I will need a pond, garden, woods, and a field. I'm interested in building my cabin from what I find on the property. I plan on timber framing and stone masonry. My concern has been how do I make a living on my property. I have a small monthly income from an inheritance, and a savings that can get me started and keep me afloat for a few years if I live frugally. I've decided to try my hand at growing ginseng. Ginseng seems to me to be the ideal crop because it will allow me to wander around my woods collecting stones, cutting limbs, and maintaining my small forest which is what really interests me. I think ginseng may be the thing that allows me to live how I want and make enough money to get by. High hopes, maybe, but I owe it to myself to try. A part time job may be required also but that's ok. Im totally fine with something relatively average as I have no desire to set the world on fire being a suit and tie guy. I've noticed Codys property seems to offer the woods, weather, materials, etc that I'm more or less interested in and will require. Missouri happens to offer that also but I feel like I've "been there done that" in Missouri. Its time to move past my home state, my moms death, my failed marriage, and start somewhere new. Like I said earlier, people always tell me Oregon is the place for me. I'm happy to hear you have frogs and lizards out there. I now feel pretty comfortable in thinking a trip out west to look around is worth my time. Codys videos have never really addressed the critters he has other than bats, cyotes, bears, deer, and bees. Those are all very important and I love them but I've been curious what about what else I would find. What would nigh time sound like, what would summer smell like, what would scurry under a rock, into brush pile, climb a tree as I walked around my property if I bought land like his. Those are all things that are important to me and are a deciding factor about where I finally end up. I require a big diversity of critters to talk to. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and give me an overview of your state. You have built my confidence and encouraged me to investigate further. If you care to add any more observations they would be greatly appreciated.
Nice product showcase ladies! Looks to have been a nice day of fun for you both too. - cc
She's always a joy to be with.
Gosh, that was great. You two are great together. I am going to have to get that tool. Thanks for sharing.
You'll LOVE it. Thanks for watching.
I doubt anyone wonders around their place after the Sun goes down...
I do.
Hey, backpackers: buy one of these! Great for cutting roots and tough enough for the rocky stuff, unlike the pathetically-plastic "hiking trowels" you'd usually see on the trail. Soil in the wilderness is NOT very soft, which is an important consideration for making Dakota fires, bedding areas, and... um... hygiene... conveniences. :)
I make knives. I'm definitely going to have to make a couple of these for my girlfriend and our friends for all of our gardens. Thanks for the info!
They will LOVE them.
Great video definitely getting Hori hori knife!! My garden should luv me..
Lol, crazy American ladies with knives. Excellent.
I like gardening but I've never seen or considered one of these tools. I may indeed make one.
I see you've done plenty of cooking videos and they all look very nice (the thumbnail pics), so I'll be watching those.
It's really good that you and your family are doing these sort of things, and especially sharing them with the world. Big thumbs-up.
Wolf Jaw Forge You just made me smile. Thank you. I love it. Did you say make one? How cool.
Well, I will add it to the (rather large) list of things to make. I have a coal forge so that's how I will do it. A piece of vehicle leaf-spring should work well. Might have to be next year now. Tons of stuff to do before Xmas.
Would you send me a photo when you complete it? I know that's a tall order, but I'd love to see it.
Merry Christmas.
Indeed I will. Thank-you and merry Xmas to you all as well.
Just ordered one of those Hori Hori , can't wait to get it in the mail. Looking forward to using it in the garder ;)
This was one funny video. Haha. Very creative!
You can thank Wranglerstar as the mastermind. We both have a high cheese factor, so this is what happens when we brainstorm together.
You two come up with some good stuff for sure.
lol loved the show down great video girls
Love the dalla horses. I lived in little Sweden Usa aka Lindsborg ks for a long time where there where dalla horses on every house

GREAT camera work!! And how refreshing to see happy women working together, having fun together. Any recommendations on where to buy a Hori Hori?
Beth, I put a link to a quality Hori Hori under the video box. It's Amazon, and it's a good value. There are cheep, knock offs ont he market, but this is the one I have, the handle is comfortable and the steel is good quality.
FRESH PRINCESS Yes, Joshua Roth makes FANTASTIC tools!
Good stuff, love the humor.
Thank you!! This was a great video showing off what you can do wither this knife and highly entertaining!! I will definitely be getting one of my own.

So funny! Great video. Thank you because I did not know about this tool and now I am looking forward to getting one. 👍👏
You'll love it.
That garden tool looks tough as nails!!
I might look delicate, but I can put the hurt on tools and I've yet to damage this one. It's bomber.
Looks like you had a good time trying to one up Mrs. Wranglerstar. I guess I'll have to do a Mr. Wranglerstar and see if I can make one.
You totally can. She's some seriously stiff competition.
That video was awesome! So much fun to watch, and you finally got to do some woodworking too ;)
I keep looking on your shoulder to see if your chick is sitting there ;)
Great video!
So glad you girls discovered your Hori Hori's. Now, settle down. ;o)

Thank you for watching and saying hey. I'm glad we could make your day. That's great.
HAHA that was amazing - you two are absolutely beautiful in every single way.
Love it! However, I will pass on it. I would lose a few fingers for sure. I am NOT good with knives. I cut myself in the kitchen A LOT. LOL Love your videos....Yes..BE LOVE AND GROW FOOD! :D
Very fun video! I never knew about them!
Love this video! Now I need to get a Hori Hori

Wauheee Wauheee Whaaaa! Loved it.
Oh good.
Loved it...Ill try to get caught up on your vids I've been so busy, congrats on all your new subs I remember when there was 600
I still can't believe it.
You could get Cody to put a fine edge on it and you'd have a survival tool.
LOL! That was great!
Great video you two! I've wanted a Hori Hori for a good long while now and you just made me want one more! Ha ha.
Sorry ;)
Well you ladies had fun making that video. 🤣😂🤣😂 . I always liked using a knife in the garden. Never knew they made a militarized one that could double as a garden tool. Oh... Thats right..... Asian..... Like the staff the sectional staff, the tonfa, the nunchucks.... And yes now the Hori Hori
I need to get a Hori Hori!
Fun video!
Great way to get your sister to help around your home...
They're so crafty.
I can't stop laughing. I really enjoyed that video
Great fun girl's and my compliments on a funny vid, good job by the cameraman as well:)
I have one just like the woman with the cross. I love it.
Thank you for uploading the video.
BTW, "Hori" means "dig" in Japanese. Asian people repeat a word once
like "Hori-Hori" ,"Mei-Mei (nickname for a girl)" to express their cuteness.
Yes, this digging tool is as cute as kitty.
Oh I LOVE this, thank you for sharing. And teaching me something. I love Japan. You are lovely-lovely!
:)
