I have found that the kneeling pads that are sold in the stores aren't long enough. What I use now is a swimming pool noodle board. It costs under $4 and I can cut them in half to end up with two kneeling pads that lets me move along the length of a flower bed without having to get up every two feet.
I'd swap the little kneeling cusion for a couple of street layer's knee pads. Even the cheap ones are way more comfortable and convenient, as you don't have to drag em around every time you want to move over or adjust the way you're sitting.
Wow! Thank you! I believe my sister actually bought some of that stuff at Lowe's and it WAS crazy expensive. I'll have to ask here if it worked for her.
My favorite weeding tools. Similar to that hand mattock I have two hand mattocks that since they are marked US, I assume are WWII or Korea surplus. The other one, that I think is discontinued but someone should make it again. It was made by True Temper and looks in shape like a golf club. Essentially it works like the common shuffle hoe, I think you called it a stirrup hoe. It cuts in both directions but unlike yours it is opened on one side. Also, the common four tine long handled cultivator. Easily found a flea markets, garage sales etc. The tines are too long for weeding and four tines, is too many. They have been made in the past with three but they are hard to find. Easy solution-you using a metal cutting abrasive blade in your circular saw, you cut off the two outside tines and then shorten the two remaining ones from six inches long to 2-3 inches long.
Ok, 11 years since this video was made and we still have the same dreadful tools for pulling weeds. I can buy a robot to clean floors and pools but here technology seems stuck in the dark ages
For a new homeowner who's never had to maintain their own yard, this was a very helpful lesson. Thank you!
Demonstration is much needed.
Thanks from Australia!
This video is absolutely fantastic. I learned a lot.
Good review of multiple tools, appreciated!

Very informative. Easy to understand.
Learned a lot! I never knew the proper way my gardening tools are used for.
This has been the most helpful video i have seen in a long time, thanks soooo much!
Hey thanks for that video, I'm going to get me a Hula Hoe instead of the traditional flat hoe and I loved the foam pad, I have some to use!
I hope I'm as half as cool as these 2 dads someday.
What's the one called that's his favorite hand tool?
Great video, thank you!

This was so entertaining.

Is the ground supposed to be dry when you weed?

Is this set up so in early spring you can cover with plastic for a greenhouse effect, giving the vegetables an earlier start?
Thanks.
Try using a clam fork.... I have for 5 years , works like a hot damn , gets the weeds up by their roots.. leave nothing

Hacks N Cheats I thank you.
Smaller kinds of chickens that eat ants and other insects can be amazing pest control. And they even provide a very nice fertilizer.
Now, how can I keep anything from growing there ever again? haha

Everybody's got a weed problem ahahhahah
Put one of your ho's to work
