My favorite weeder = circle hoe!💥
My favorite garden hose 🐍 Flexzilla light green, flexible, strong and sturdy it lasts for years and years. I gave away my other hoses.
I have a great hand trial that I have had probably 11 years and it’s still going strong. Buy quality and you don’t have to replace all the time.
Twine or the stretchy green tape for tying plants
Thank you, wonderful advice!!!!
I’d say a wide tine garden fork. Great for weeding tap rooted weeds, digging plants while preserving their roots, and for shoveling mulch.
A trowel for planting
Great advice. I would add kneeling pad. That's what is hard for me. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jenny great video!!! The only thing I think you missed would be pest control I had a terrible time with Japanese beetles and aphids last year.
I would like to add to the list a root Slayer shovel, OMG this tool I've had for about 3 years now and has been the most amazing tool! I got mine on Amazon but I think I've seen them in tractor supply recently. Also one of the most helpful things I use in the garden is a 5 x 6 piece of thick plastic to put all the winter cleanup like branches,leaves, etc and I can just drag it around. The plastic slides really easily. . I'm finding out the plastic lasts longer than a tarp as the tarps tears easily and don't last as long when dragging it around.
This may sound unusual but in Georgia we have hard clay, lots of rocks and lots of roots. So it made it much easier for us to get through some spots with a mattock. We put in a fountain and clearing out that hole was so much easier with a mattock. I even have a small hand held one. Slightly different because instead of the pick side it has a fork. I’m sure it has a name but great as well.
Hi Jenny and Jerry! Your both Very informative- I love how you suggest different scenarios and products for predicaments we sometimes unexpectedly find ourselves in! P.s. I Love the wifey/hubby Garden Team y’all have! You are a great example of a healthy beautiful God Loving Couple /Momma & Daddy❤️
I just bought a mini chainsaw- 6 inch. It’s great for trimming and clearing!
You are awesome, great tips,love to see your garden cart
I like using a good kneeling pad. I also love Kinsman Co. I just bought a great container from them so when I harvest my vegetables. It has drain holes in it for spraying them off with water.
Great video! I'm glad you thought of this before Spring Planting/Pruning. The only thing I know you missed is Head Covering. Man or Woman a good hat is needed. I use Fishing Hat. It comes with a flap to protect your neck in full sun and the hat has UV protection. These hats are available Online and Sporting good stores.
Great information 👍
III love the tool box nice reminder I seem to be scared to use fertilizer !!! maybe because so many out there it can be confusing but the one thing my 72 year old knees love I
are kneeling pads …. Is that an old person need ??? I couldn't get by without them Janice from Vermont zone 4
Wondering what sorta compost you use for your flowers
