There is no doubt in my mind that you will love This is an easy way to garden, even when the soil is hard and clayey.

I mean it. I will do my best not to sound too hyperbolic or just plain nuts in my review of this amazing tool, but I will try to do it. A new instrument changed my relationship to gardening for the better. Worming is one of the things I hate more than anything else. Whenever I see it, I feel like it is It is a dreadful task to weed. I didn't know what this thing was until I got it. At first, I was very disappointed with the package when I opened it Despite its small size and light weight, it is very powerful. I think it would be used to spread frosting on However, it performed so well on my severely overgrown vegetable garden that I was astonished at how smoothly it cut through the Even when the soil is dry and packed, clay is not an issue! A thing like this glides through even the toughest weeds like butter over hot biscuits. I cannot believe how effortless it was! My favorite part of weeding was actually enjoying it! My plans are to buy a few more of these because I have not used it enough to determine how long it stays sharp, and frankly, at the low price, I would prefer to buy a couple to have on hand than have to sharpen it every time I want to use it.

A USPS delivery dummy was placed directly in my path behind my garage door, but it was not visible to me. This is the first time I've run over it, and it wasn't damaged! I once again witnessed the genius of Japanese tool design when I used it for the very first time. It takes two sharp edges to do your job well. I just instinctively knew how to use it. The roots of grass tufts were taken up by the fingers and shallow rooted weeds scraped out. There's only one negative unless you're working on the ground, you have to stop.

Sickles are not to be underestimated. Has anyone ever tried clearing out guinea grass 7' tall? This plant has extremely tough stalks dotted with tiny, clear spines that are nasty, as well. Even though I tried a heavyweight Ontario machete, it wouldn't cut through. The stalks were hard to cut After switching to a Japanese sickle made of Tosa steel, which I bought in Japan, the job was Using a sickle with a swath that is angular is much more effective than hacking at a 90-degree angle A machete is used to cut the wood at a 45-degree angle. How could someone have foreseen such a thing? There are many ways to use this tool For small jobs such as clearing brush, I use a sickle. I like that it's compact and gets into small spaces near From the lathe to the tool itself, this is a typical Japanese tool of impeccable quality It features a wood handle and an ultra-thin blade The blade is made of carbon steel and is sharp.

Due to my lack of experience in outdoor maintenance and yard keeping, I am new to home ownership. Currently I have several areas around the house where shrubs and old beds have to be removed, and I have a nightmare of a back yard where hundreds of saplings are growing from invasive Chinese It was important to have something I could get down on the ground and dig away at the roots of the small weeds and saplings when the ground was There is a lot of clay in my Aww, look at how cute this little monster is. When I tested this machine on clay soil it plowed its way into it so quickly and easily. It was actually sharp enough to cut through some really challenging roots. Due to the angle of the blade compared to the handle, I'm able to roll under roots with ease and pull through with enough force to avoid It's also perfect for digging an area for planting if you just need to dig a hole quickly. As a result of the awesome price, I am ordering a second one, since this little gem might be hard to replace if it were to go A gift like this would be a great addition to any gardener's collection.

When I was young, I would simply pound the soil with whatever tool and my hands felt no pain. Now that I am old, I feel the effects of the abuse I had when I was young. Get this incredible tool that breaks up soil and opens holes so you don't have to use your hands to plant. I love how well this was made and sharp!.

Despite being a good tool, I find the 10" handle to be disproportionately short for the size of the blade. 12 or 13" allows you to accomplish a lot more in a shorter amount of time. In general, I also prefer hand hoes with a straight edge because they are easier to control. It might just be a preference, but if you are working in a circle around yourself to weed, an extra two could help The difference made by the handle being longer makes a substantial difference in the clearance.

Despite its small size, it is light in Using the tool is very helpful if you have to weed between Due to its sharp point, you can focus on the weed and protect surrounding plants without damaging them. Besides painting the tool handle orange, the only thing I changed was the size of the handle. In the past, I had a bad habit of laying it down and having to look for.
