Gardening is my life, pretty much. I have never found a use for the hori hori that sits abandoned in my greenhouse.
My most useful newish tool is a border spade with steps. It cuts through soil like a knife through butter. Creates a clean hole that is the perfect size to drop in a plant.
Don’t destroy common milkweed! The butterflies need it!
Borage will grow if you just scatter seed. But if you want to be pre use about it, simply like the rather large seeds into the dirt with your finger.
The hori hori tool is cute. I think it’s unnecessary.
For removal of larger weeds, a mattock is the thing.
This is all amazing. And I didn’t know what a border spade was until right now, and now I want to invest in one!
I don’t want to get rid of the milkweed!! We love the butterflies in my house. It was just planted by the previous owners all over the one raised bed we have here, and I’m trying to add new narrow leaf milkweed to other areas of the yard (it’s native here in my part of SoCal) and am trying to time it right to remove the other milkweed after migration season. I want to plant herbs and food in my raised bed and the milkweed takes over there!
I recently got my hori hori and totally forgot about it. Gardening in the heat of Texas is not for the faint :-( . Now I know what to actually use it for. Thanks Erin!
