New Garden Tool
I can’t imagine gardening without tools especially the good ones that really do the job. I have all kinds from all over. I particularly like the hand tools from Japan and Korea. I studied Bonsai while I was in Okinawa and I tried to have all the tools I needed. I find the mini rake/spade handy for transplanting seedlings to the garden or even in pots. I particularly like the scythe which I always use for weeding and if I need to remove the vines from the garden. It is really a fantastic tool for that because I can do it in a little amount of time. It works just like the sickle and I both like to use them especially in weeding.
The knife I just bought works just like the “hori-hori” knife with one advantage which is a measure engraved on the knife for measuring depths of planting as recommended by experts. It is made of stainless steel and has a leather holder as an added bonus so I can always keep it with me while working in the garden.
It is made by Craftsman and I like it very much. I can use it for digging transplants, weeding, cutting soil bags, etc. It’s a very versatile tool.
