All the gardeners I make out are always looking for a room to make gardening tasks either leisurely or faster . I ’ve say that so many meter that my friend and sept member are always on the lookout for new tools to give me that do just that . Vegetable gardening is a gravid hobby , but it can be a lot of work , too .
So as Father ’s Day approach ( on June 19 to be exact ) , here are three of my favorite novel tool that just might make dad happy , too .
AHori Hori knifeis a heavy - responsibility ground and weeding knife that can take care of any hobo camp of sens . With its serrated blade blade , the Hori Hori ( translates to Dig Dig ) is the ultimate multi - peter for horticulture . The blade can be used for digging , sawing , rationalise , trimming and planting . The Hori Hori I receive is fromBarebones Livingand the designers thought of everything for this version . It has a beautiful sustainable bamboo handle , doubly edged rust insubordinate steel , handy inch marks on the sword for measuring / planting , and the really serious-minded nursing bottle opener for when garden ’s done for the sidereal day . ( cocktail dress is sold separately . )
Garden Banditweeding tool is the wide-eyed of tool , but it works so well . This light - weight weeder looks funny , but its tenuous blade fade through weeds without need much campaign . I like this weeder because it does n’t give notice land in the vegetable garden . Keeping soil in place is especially important in the garden once plant start growing to prevent detrimental soft radical system . Tested and approved by the National Home Gardening Club , the Garden Bandit is well-to-do to expend in little space , like planter and window boxes , too . The plastic handle makes the creature especially lightweight to keep hands , wrists and implements of war from getting tired . The thin brand is design to stay sharp after years of use .
Corona Toolsare make love for eminent - tone hand cock that are intend to resist up to arduous use . A new addition to my putz handbag is a distich ofstainless blade grapeshot clipping . What makes these tinsnips special are the 2 - inch curved blades that make it easy to get into tight spots . These snips are plan for harvesting grapes , but they can be used fo pick all sort of other fruits and vegetables , too . The sharp blade connect to lightweight and non - slip grip handles . I really like the easy near locking feature that is a threefold - sided thumb lock .
Toss these tools into a new gardening carry - all to ensure a Happy Father ’s daytime and great deal of happy mean solar day spent apprehend , cut , weed and clipping in the vegetable garden .
