    We used the 2 gallon one often, but just bought a 15 gallon one for the weeds in the rocks which are our yard. The Hori-hori looks neat, but my growing space is too small to have a fancy tool! I do want a Green Stalk for my greenhouse. We finally got a fan installed and our misting system needs to be fixed along with the timer! We just replaced the valve for watering with several hoses. Have you found one color of Green Stalk over another having an advantage?



  2. gilles rossignol on January 19, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    thank,s it,s the first time i saw those apron, we just ordered 2



  3. Border City Living on January 19, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    Cannot wait for greenstalk to ship to Canada. I literally can see the US from my city.



  4. Brush and Bramble Farm on January 19, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    Not gonna lie… I went and bought them all ๐Ÿคฃ except the apron. Don’t quite "need" that one



  5. Annie Cochrane on January 19, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    I got the cobra head and hori hori knife after Jess’s earlier tools video – I use the knife all the time, and the little cobra head pairs well with my niwashi weeder. So with these three the weeds, planting and some cutting, is totally covered. Unfortunately we cant get the green stalk planters here in New Zealand.



  6. Helen Penner on January 19, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    Lol oh yes …I remember doing exactly that…stop mix more ba k to spraying



  7. Bruce Anable on January 19, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Thanks for doing this video, iโ€™ve been doing garden for about 12 years and Iโ€™ve never heard of this Tool HORI-HORI. Iโ€™m now thinking about getting one some come with sheath



  8. twins548512 on January 19, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    I found your YouTube channel a couple days ago and I feel like itโ€™s going to be a binge for me!! I just ordered your book too! Congratulations! Your so encouraging and inspiring as wellโ€ฆ Iโ€™m working a first garden for myself and itโ€™s been amazingly rewarding! Thank you for so many tips and the endless knowledge!!



  9. Jennyโ€™s Hobby Farm Ohio on January 19, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    I thought about the Roo Apron for about a week and finally ordered myself one through your link, thanks for the suggestion!



  10. Shelly McDonnell on January 19, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    I did get a dibber and a cobra head for in close weeding and I needed a better hole digger. I will try this dibber.



  11. Florence Lindsay on January 19, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    Where you find that apron I love it can you let me know thanks ๐Ÿ˜Œ



  12. Shannon Clement on January 19, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    We love Donald Trump



  13. Monica M. on January 19, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    When both you and Gardener Scott are claiming they will not garden without a hori-hori then I know it’s time I look into buying one.



  14. Jacqui Doyle on January 19, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    Look at Bear being all regal in the background…. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚



  15. Michelle bate on January 19, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    I went and bought the lard Cobra head weeder and I have to say that it is by far the best garden tool I have ever used! you all must buy one!



  16. Beth Heerten on January 19, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    I love my hori-hori knife. Great for planting small bulbs and little slips of things. I also love my hoedag. Makes working in my clay based soil easier.
    I put your book on my Mother’s Day list.



  17. The Jackalope Farm on January 19, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    Been using a hori hori for years, it is an absolute must have on my garden tool belt. She’s right guys, get one! You wont regret it!



  18. tim patt on January 19, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    I’m not a new gaedner, but my wife bought me your book. I like having a reference eight at my finger tips at all times.



  19. Lois Clardy on January 19, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    Just came upon your videos today…. LOVE them! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of them in the days to come. For now, I’m about to order me some tools. ๐Ÿ˜‰



  20. Nana Jan on January 19, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    My neighbor and I have found that a good garden tool for scratching up, lifting weeds is….are you ready for it? A spaghetti serving tool. You know the claw-like utensil you use to pick up drained spaghetti from a pot. Yes, it seems strange, but the claw shape actually works. lol Necessity is the mother of invention.



  21. Silver Moon on January 19, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    Do those green stalks hold up under hard strong winds. Are do they blow over??๐Ÿค”. We get strong winds ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค”โค๏ธ



  22. Flora Guard on January 19, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    WoW๏ผ๏ผThese tools are really good๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ



  23. Oko Organics on January 19, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    Thank you. God bless you!



  24. Whispers In The Wind Tarot on January 19, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    binge watching your vids, I am so buying that book.



  25. MaggieBFF Blue on January 19, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    I have watched your channel for a while and you are an inspiration! We bought a small piece of land in Brazil and I’ll practice all the great information that you have shared with us so gracefully. I can’t wait. Thank you very much.



  26. Lisa Bakos on January 19, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    I just picked up a one gallon sprayer at Home Depot for $5



  27. Yvonne H. on January 19, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    I just added your book to my Christmas list.



  28. Rae 87 on January 19, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    I got my dibber from a thrift store a few years ago.



  29. X squad on January 19, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Sending this to the hubs right now ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚ Thanks!
    My daughter walked in the other day and said sheโ€™s my favorite I like her talking about your show!



  30. JM S on January 19, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    Am I the only one who thought the rivets on the dibber looked like googly eyes at first?



  31. The Citystead on January 19, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Love the Barebones hori hori, I always recommend the ultimate one because of the pommel on the handle it’s nice to have a hammer. People with smaller hands might be interested in the AC Lenord hori hori it is a little bit smaller and lighter.



  32. Ashley Allen on January 19, 2022 at 6:52 pm

    I’d love to buy one of your shirts but I’m hesitent to get something that won’t fit. What size do you wear in the tshirts and sleeveless shirts?



  33. Danielle Sims on January 19, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    My family and I are loving your channel! We are pretty much newbies โค๏ธ im a homeschooling momma of 5, but I have 4 girls and 1 boy lol. my 7 year old enjoys seeing your boys helping you, as he loves to help me do all the things too.



  34. X X on January 19, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    I have my peepaw’s dibble, it’s really special to me. ๐Ÿฅฐ



  35. Cherryparfait41 on January 19, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    My daughters surprised me with a Roo for Christmas. I did send them a pic because I thought it would really suit me, but never expected them to treat me!
    Itโ€™s so fun when my budding gardeners back my crazy gardening spirit!



  36. Sheila Butts on January 19, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Love, Love, Love your Book.. I look through it all the time. The pictures are Beautiful, and great information.. God bless you and your family..

  42. Renee Meyers on January 19, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    Ordered the Roo Apron for my daughter in laws birthday & Mothers Day (she & my son made me a grandma) and just got notice that the Roo people have been overwhelmed with orders ๐Ÿขwider why??๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’ž



  50. Cherryparfait41 on January 19, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    The BB Hori is much cooler than my plastic handled one (that I LOVE) that I often leave dug in the dirt. Maybe, I could get better at putting it away..๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜
