The Hori Knife is my favorite gardening tool
It’s good to know Nicole that you don’t require so many tools to garden , thanks for the tips 👍🏻
You're so welcome! Happy summer to you!
I coveted a hori hori knife for years until my son gifted me the tool a few christmases ago. They are a bit pricy but will last a lifetime and can be passed on. Its a substantial and sharp tool so you'll need to wear the sheath and holster it when not in use. It cuts twine, measures planting depth, can be used as a digging trowel for setting in plants and bulbs, has a blade for cutting tender shoots and stems and the serrated edge is a mini saw blade for pruning small branches and woody stems.
I aspire, one day, to grow and eat such delicious food like Nicole.
Absolutely love these videos 😊
I'm so glad!!
Hi Nicole,
Having the right tools can surely help a lot.
Happy spring True Food TV! Great to start seeing some new content again!
I saw one great tool you have but didn't mention, the Worx Aerocart. I hope you like yours, I've had mine now for several years and love it. So versatile.
Love my Aerocart and have had it for years, along with a gorilla cart. Both are so much easier to move around than a wheelbarrow
Hi Nicole, found your channel from YT suggestions, I love your work, it's really educative & helpful, thanks mate.
I’m blown away you have the same Japanese knife I have! I love it!! Best gardening tool I got!
Just a note, hoes and shovels should be sharpened! I think about 35 degree angle. But go 25 degrees, it'll cut better. Just use a file. Like if there's roots, a sharp shovel works so much better. A regular hoe, it cuts through any type weed easier.
Fortunately with no dig veg gardening, I rarely need to cut out any big roots.
Thank you for this video. Will have to investigate the asparagus tool. My gardening go to tools are a hodag and #7 Felcos.
❤❤❤ thank you for the video ❤❤❤
WellDone!
Ohhh, can't wait for those Jersey tomatoes a d corn!!!!
overalls, muck boots, knee pads, sun hat, sunglasses, and podcasts from bluetooth earbuds
You should add some ollas or ollas balls and rainbarrel irrigation
@0:59 OMG I laughed sooooo hard!!!
My most used is a miniature trowel and the stirrup hoe.
I like long arm stainless steel garden fork.
Wow..! U still look young❤️❤️
As a tool connoisseur, I'm surprised I've never heard of an asparagus knife. But now I have FOMO and will order one. But WHY are we supposed to cut them below the surface? I cut mine pretty flush. But is this why I'm getting more spears on the perimeter of last year's harvest rather than the middle? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for the great content!
I don't cut asparagus spears below the surface. I just snap them off. Where they break is the tender point.
you are so easy.😍😍😍
Those garden beds look amazing - so crushed that, like so many US products, they only ship locally, not even to Canada. 😢
I love this chick. She doesn't apologize for background noise or lighting. Doesn't say this is easy.( my biggest peeve with utubers). No bro science. Legitimate information. Doesn't act dumb or try too hard to make jokes. Her sour dough video for advanced was hilarious to me.
She and her 2 sisters have put a spell on you
Auntie, I carry a knife like that when I go out drinking in Chinatown.
Hi ur work is amazing. I want some tips about gardening.
video idea: Raised garden beds Vs Natural gardening without beds, to mimic nature.
What about a round shovel, retractable hose, wheelbarrow, a pair of good pruner and watering wand??
I use a drip irrigation. Never need a shovel for no-dig gardening. Pruners, yes, but only for tomato leaves. I can do everything else with the hori hori.
I'd love to know the brand of that garden car/wheelbarrow. It'd be perfect for my small garden
I have never heard that you are supposed to cut asparagus below the soil line, do you know why it is that you are supposed to? I was taught to just snap it off where it naturally breaks so that you don't get any of the woody part, if it has started to become woody.
Can't wait to start gardening but we still have snow here in the Midwest , also what's the name of those pretty yellow flowering plants behind you
This time of year is torture! We're all so eager to start, right? The yellow behind me are forsythia (I didn't plant them; they were here already when I moved in).
@@TrueFoodTV ohh lucky they are beautiful plants though
Love my stirrup hoe. Pretty much the most used tool in my garden besides my hands. Get one if you don't already have one and thank us later.
yessssss
" Rambo Lady " .Love you get to try my garden knife, and I bet you would want to keep mine..
Trust me, mine better .Mine is easier than their knives.
Some tomato strings are junk and I'm not using strings every again for tomato support.
Florida weave for bell peppers is great.
Wish you could test my garden knife and guarantee you will see it's easier and effective .
I'm going make a asserages knife
Thanks again, and also great learning .
I do listen to tools
great info! btw, that plastic netting behind you is so unfriendly to wildlife (especially snakes that are so important and beneficial to your garden) and environment ... I recommend sticking with metal wire mesh fabrics
I'd love to c u harvest raspberries or blue berries 🎉😊😊
I guess that I'm probably called a well seasoned gardner and I agree that you did highlight some very useful tools. The following is just what I like . No use for a holster, I have a stirrup hoe which I use on occasion .Not big on it but it's useful and nice to have in the toolbox. I have 4 different hoes and I use them all just depending on what I'm doing. The same with 4 different rakes, and 4 different shovels, 4 different trowels and I use them all depending on the activity and soil conditions ect. The twine is a staple here and the hori hori knife I hardly ever use. A scissor works much better to cut the twine and is safer. I'm not excited about the raised garden beds. I am using repurposed concrete that has been broken up into pieces from a driveway removal. I have many garden beds and I probably have 180' or more of bed edging. The beds I have are 4"-5" high and I image they retain soil moisture much better than taller beds. For this gardener your best recommendation is the asparagus knife and I'm scratching my head why I have never bought one. Just never knew about it which is amazing to me so thank you for showing the old dog a tool he will be purchasing soon. The right tool for the right job makes so much differenence so not a fan of one tool for all purpose. For sure I could make a go of it with one hoe, one shovel, one trowel and one rake.
When did you go to no dig gardening? I just got done last week transitioning to the no dig gardening method. Will see how that works out. Charles Dowding in the UK who is on UA-cam lit the match for me on no dig. He also showed me what and how a dibble is used. An indispensable tool especially for no dig. I made my own similar to the one he uses but they can also be purchased online. I'm fired up here in central Iowa, USA to get growing.
Many Thanks Nichole! I love your presentations and the diversity of subjects that you cover.
What size jute twine do you like best?
Which make is your hori hori knife ?
Ive been told hori hori translates to diggy diggy.
Hor hor dig dig?
Jolly is an Irish name!
Hori Hori is the tool of tools
Many are trying out hydroponics, either indoors or outdoors. Can you dive into the world of hydroponics for us?
Check out @Hoocho for all your needs
Have you ever used a scuffle hoe? I like it better than the stirrup hoe, let’s you reach under plants easier!
I agree. Versatile. The stirrup hoe is very light and can't help in heavy dirt.
Rambo part 5😂
Asparagus knife? What about the Hori Hori , that looks like it's never been used?
Don't be fooled -- I give it a nice cleaning at the end of each season. ;) And yes, you can use the hori hori for asparagus but you have to be so careful not to cut the crown.
why do you have to cut asparagus below the soil? I never have.... I just break it off.
🎉
Why buy an asparagus knife when there is a Hori-Hori knife that seems so versatile... Isn't it?
Why not cut the asparagus with the super fancy Japanese knife that can do everything?
You absolutely could, but you have to go carefully because it's a big blade - it could damage the crown.
That metal is going to leach into your soil. Probably won't kill you and your plants look terrific but still not for me. I farm in a very hot and pretty dry location and raised beds take more water. I just make raised beds with compost and wood chips in between. I can see advantages to using raised beds if you are in a very wet climate or your soil is contaminated in some way. I have a spot I use large fabric pots with the bottoms cut out as raised beds, over a former rock driveway from previous owners
Let's put some dirt on those tools!!!😊
Ha! I'm glad they look clean to you! :))
@True Food TV,the holster makes you look a bit like a Garden gunslinger out there, in my honest opinion?.
Is that good or bad? 😜
@@TrueFoodTV Good!.
Where is the cobra head tool 😑

Hi crush...😊
Channeling Lara Croft!
That hori kori has never touched earth. Or even twine.
It's a useless stupid tool nobody can find a use for.
Looks cool though!

Initially I started watching, where I'm thinking such a pretty lovely lady. But, consider the chest like the engine compartment. Then the abdomen, that's the fuel tank, lubrication system that supplies the engine with fuel, then all the components to supply the chassis. Which the head is the CPU system. But, what can't be seen is the Soul which gives the vessel life. Without the soul, the vessel doesn't operate. If you do not use good fuel, lubricants, nutrients, etc., the chasis squeaks, the engine runs rough until it doesn't run any more. So one needs high quality fuels. But, got to look after the soul so it can live longer and still capable of getting a new vessel in later times as resurrection, 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁 😆

Great video, but ... you and your tools are just too clean to take you seriously. I really do like your videos. Thanks.
I never seen a HO holding a HO before.
