    I guess that I'm probably called a well seasoned gardner and I agree that you did highlight some very useful tools. The following is just what I like . No use for a holster, I have a stirrup hoe which I use on occasion .Not big on it but it's useful and nice to have in the toolbox. I have 4 different hoes and I use them all just depending on what I'm doing. The same with 4 different rakes, and 4 different shovels, 4 different trowels and I use them all depending on the activity and soil conditions ect. The twine is a staple here and the hori hori knife I hardly ever use. A scissor works much better to cut the twine and is safer. I'm not excited about the raised garden beds. I am using repurposed concrete that has been broken up into pieces from a driveway removal. I have many garden beds and I probably have 180' or more of bed edging. The beds I have are 4"-5" high and I image they retain soil moisture much better than taller beds. For this gardener your best recommendation is the asparagus knife and I'm scratching my head why I have never bought one. Just never knew about it which is amazing to me so thank you for showing the old dog a tool he will be purchasing soon. The right tool for the right job makes so much differenence so not a fan of one tool for all purpose. For sure I could make a go of it with one hoe, one shovel, one trowel and one rake.
    When did you go to no dig gardening? I just got done last week transitioning to the no dig gardening method. Will see how that works out. Charles Dowding in the UK who is on YouTube lit the match for me on no dig. He also showed me what and how a dibble is used. An indispensable tool especially for no dig. I made my own similar to the one he uses but they can also be purchased online. I'm fired up here in central Iowa, USA to get growing.
    Many Thanks Nichole! I love your presentations and the diversity of subjects that you cover.

    I don't cut asparagus spears below the surface. I just snap them off. Where they break is the tender point.

    " Rambo Lady " .Love you get to try my garden knife, and I bet you would want to keep mine..
    Trust me, mine better .Mine is easier than their knives.
    Some tomato strings are junk and I'm not using strings every again for tomato support.
    Florida weave for bell peppers is great.
    Wish you could test my garden knife and guarantee you will see it's easier and effective .
    I'm going make a asserages knife
    Thanks again, and also great learning .
    I do listen to tools

    Those garden beds look amazing – so crushed that, like so many US products, they only ship locally, not even to Canada. 😢

    As a tool connoisseur, I'm surprised I've never heard of an asparagus knife. But now I have FOMO and will order one. But WHY are we supposed to cut them below the surface? I cut mine pretty flush. But is this why I'm getting more spears on the perimeter of last year's harvest rather than the middle? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for the great content!

    great info! btw, that plastic netting behind you is so unfriendly to wildlife (especially snakes that are so important and beneficial to your garden) and environment … I recommend sticking with metal wire mesh fabrics

    It’s good to know Nicole that you don’t require so many tools to garden , thanks for the tips 👍🏻

  20. seriously? really?

    I coveted a hori hori knife for years until my son gifted me the tool a few christmases ago. They are a bit pricy but will last a lifetime and can be passed on. Its a substantial and sharp tool so you'll need to wear the sheath and holster it when not in use. It cuts twine, measures planting depth, can be used as a digging trowel for setting in plants and bulbs, has a blade for cutting tender shoots and stems and the serrated edge is a mini saw blade for pruning small branches and woody stems.

    Great video, but … you and your tools are just too clean to take you seriously. I really do like your videos. Thanks.

    Thank you for this video. Will have to investigate the asparagus tool. My gardening go to tools are a hodag and #7 Felcos.

    I love this chick. She doesn't apologize for background noise or lighting. Doesn't say this is easy.( my biggest peeve with utubers). No bro science. Legitimate information. Doesn't act dumb or try too hard to make jokes. Her sour dough video for advanced was hilarious to me.

    why do you have to cut asparagus below the soil? I never have…. I just break it off.
