    Years ago I asked my dad how he keeps his garden looking so good. He got one of these tools out of his garage and showed me how to use it. I bought one for myself and have been using it ever since - definitely my favorite garden tool!❤️

    Oh Wow Vanessa that is an awesome tool. I will be getting one of those. It’s hot and humid here in Tennessee too. Your garden looks great. A lot of work I know.

    Love a stirrup hoe. My mom used to have a tool that was like a stirrup hoe but more like just a straight razor. Super sharp, had to be very careful but it made super quick work of weeds as well. Great tool!

    I will definitely be getting a stirrup hoe for my garden. So much better than trying to pull all the weeds out! Thanks for the video.

    thank you for this video, I bought one and as soon as it came used it to clean out around my climbing rose - worked great!

    After watching your video, I ordered the hoe. I have seen them before, but was not sure how to use it. This hoe is the bomb! It is SO easy to use and I can get so close to the plants! Before I was using a grubbing hoe and wearing out my shoulder. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

    Quick question: Do you struggle with mosquitoes? If so, how do you get rid of them?
    I live in GA and mosquitoes are making my gardening life, miserable.

    We use a sharpened hoe for mint (we raise for root stock and for oil). This looks like it might be a little lighter in weight and have the advantage of bi-directional.

    I had one of these and lost it in our move. Could not think of what to call it to find a new one. Where did you find it? Thank You!

    holy molly, what weather do you guys have in August? here in the Northwest we're just getting some hot summer temps...in the high 70's low 80's. I've also seen this tool called an 'Action Hoe'; it is super great when mid-spring weed seeds are starting to sprout.

    Funny, pretty sure it's end of July all over the world. My little one heard you say that and asked what it was somewhere else. Just had to share.

    How often do you have to read that section? And why not use a sieve fabric which would prevent the weeds from germinating in first place?

    • @TheCraftyGemini
      @TheCraftyGemini  4 роки тому +7

      Weed fabric is the worst. As it degrades in the elements you'll be pulling up chunks of it for years to come. Easier to weed and keep it mulched and you're adding natural organic matter to the soil instead of a synthetic fabric that degrades over time.
