Today I received a gift of a traditional Korean garden tool, called the Homi. Big thanks to my friend Tom who sent these to me! While it is a new tool to me, these have been used in Korean gardens for 5000 years. In 2019 they became one of the hottest selling garden items in the USA, as American gardeners discovered how great they are to use for all kinds of garden tasks, from planting to weeding.

That looks way more practical than the stupid little garden shovels everyone uses.
That's a great tool! We still have a few more weeks before I can start thinking about planting.
Glad your initial assessment is a good one. Enjoy!

* Yeongju is a city famous for apples.
Because of the angled blade, when you make a trench, it automatically moves the dirt to the side without having to shovel it up like with a trowel.
You need a partial sun cover to place over them to help them harden off more slowly. But it would be a challenge with all the wind we have been having.
Those are made from high carbon steel such as leaf spring for automobiles, heated on the furnace and hammered (also uses pneumatic hammer) to form the shape. All of them are hand-crafted so there might be some slight design difference between products from different forges.
I'm buying one!
I don’t need any other gardening hand tools but the homi. It does everything you need to do more efficiently and easily. Why this kind of tools wasn’t invented in the west is beyond me!
Hello
I am a writer for south of Korean broadcasting station.
Our program is planning a broadcast with the theme of <Korean goods introduced by foreigners>
I was looking for a video source and found your YouTube video.
Can I use this video as a broadcast material?
I promise to cite the source and use it. please.
한국 호미를 여기서 보다니. ㅋㅋㅋ 극한직업이란 프로그램에 오늘 7월9일 방송된거 보고 온 분들 많을듯
As long as i am right, people also use homi( not hands) covering dirt after putting the little ones in the ground
A great opportunity shows our traditional gardening tool! Thank you explain Homie in your video in English!
