Per the little number generator at Random.org, the winner of the Hori Hori weeding tool is comment #188, from Noelle. Congratulations, Noelle! To collect your prize, just send me a note.
This week, because spring has definitely sprung…because weeds are popping up in places where they can’t be smothered with newspaper…and because you might need a gardening gift right about now…I’m giving away a Hori Hori tool!
I wrote about the hori hori back in May of 2013. Here’s a quick recap:
I recently purchased a hori hori knife. It’s a famous Japanese gardening tool with a concave center (like a trowel), and a sharp, serrated edge. Would you like to see what this baby can do?
Note: In Japanese, hori hori literally translates to “diggy diggy.” And diggy diggy it does!
Results of recent trials:
First, I tested the tool on wild onions (Allium canadense — sometimes called “Onion Grass”) that dared to emerge in my Woodland Garden.
The pesky onions came up effortlessly, bulbs and all.
Next, I let the tool have its way with Burdock (Arctium minus).
The burdock came up without a hitch, and with its tap root fully intact.
And finally, I slipped Mr. Hori Hori beneath a dandelion. (I refuse to remove all of this Taraxacum officinale from my property, because it is important food for honey bees.)
That dandelion gave up without a fight.
The knife is made of sturdy stainless steel. It cleans up easily after a day of digging. Heck, after brushing away soil with my gloved hand, I could see my reflection in the Hori Hori blade.
Note: In addition to its value as a weeding-tool, Hori Hori makes a fine mirror.
Hori Hori even comes with a nifty sheath you can attach to your belt. When you think to wear one.
You might like to have one of these weeding tools, too. And that’s why I’ve purchased another Hori Hori to give away in a random drawing.
(Psst: Wanna buy your own Hori Hori? I purchased mine — as well as the one I’m giving away — from this online source.)
Random Drawing!
To enter the drawing, just scroll down to the end of this post and leave a comment. Say anything you’d like. Perhaps you’d like to tell me what you are binge-watching these days. At the moment, I’m hooked on The Americans, Mozart in the Jungle, and Bates Motel.
Already have a Hori Hori tool? Enter the drawing anyway. If you win, you can always give the gadget to a plant-minded friend.
The Rules
One comment per person, please.
Enter soon! This giveaway expires at 11:59PM on Sunday, May 8, 2016. As always, I’ll use the number generator at Random.org to select a winner. The winner’s name will be announced both here and on my Facebook page on Monday, May 9, 2016, so be sure to check back!

Nancy says
One can never have too many Hori Horis!!
Dana Freeman says
I need this because I have a million weeds that need to go. Pick me!!
Beverly Secondo says
I have been looking at this tool, ever since you mentioned it a few years back. Burdock, wild onion and spiderwort are the ever cropping up items that I never seem to get rid of. The wild onion seems to multiply right in from of my eyes, and I dig at them with a knife, screwdriver, and sometimes, just cut with shears, even though I know they will be back. Getting too old for this kind of work. (78 yrs)+
Kerre says
Anything to make weeding easier would be much appreciated!
SARAH HANNAH says
WOW! this if the first time I have seen a Hori Hori!!! Would work wonderfully in my yard!!

Tracy says
I’ve been researching Hori Hori knives for quite a while, based on your use of them. The next two months will be weeding hell, as you well know. I’m always worried the knives will be too big for my small hand, but you have rather small hands too, I see. I’d love one!
Ruth Lil. says
I have been binge watching UK show ‘Vera’ – a murder mystery show on Hulu, before I start another gritty and dark UK show in its second season ‘Happy Valley’
Lynne says
That looks terrific! I am plagued with wild onions too and they are so difficult to remove – if I leave the tiniest piece it will come up again, even stronger!
This looks like just the tool for the job!
Fingers and toes crossed!
Juanita trent says
I need two with as many weeds as I have. We have had a lot of rain

Not binging on anything but cranberry-orange-pecan breakfast scones. Don’t have or want TV. Don’t know when on earth I’d find the time, but this hori hori knife would make short order of a jungle of spring rain germinated weeds. A new tool always makes a tedious chore more fun.

Just binge watched Mr. Robot. So much fun!!

thanks.

Weeding in my Edmonton, Alberta garden helps take my mind off the 88 000 evacuees from the Ft Macmurray fires 5 hours north, who are beginning to arrive. Would love a new stress buster tool, Kevin! Red Cross is taking donations at http://www.redcross.ca by the way. This is the city next to the oil sands, the economic driver of an entire country, heart breaking.

I would LOVE to have one of these!!! I sooo enjoy your blog, Kevin!
Helen says
I definitely could use this tool to keep the wild violets, privet, mimosa, and other ornery things out of my garden! Would work great on those pesky wild violets!
I am usually on HGTV unless it’s a re-run I’ve already seen at least 2 times!
Susan Clark says
Would love this handy tool as I have just started being part of a community garden. This tool would be so handy removing the unwanted weeds. No binge watching but do watch a lot of Disney Movies with by Grandson nickname BUG.

Vicki Byrum says
I have been wanting a hori hori for years. Thanks for offering this prize, Kevin! I let the Dandelions grow in my lawn, and I just overseeded with White Dutch Clover. When it blooms the bees are all over it, and it fixes nitrogen into the soil. Plus I get to enjoy the smell of freshly mowed clover once a week or so.
Jillian Urban says
Kevin, your site is an inspiration! Last fall I expanded our garden to make room for more yummy vegetables, flowers, and herbs with a petite hedge of Alpine Strawberry plants. I grew them from seed myself so I could afford enough to get a handful of sweetness each day. Seeing there is a holster for that tool, I would still have a hand free to snack on my berries. This could work out quite well. Tell me, do you know where I could find a nice holder for the margarita in my other hand?
Jacque says
I’m binge-watching Call the Midwife! So many babies!!!

Hi Kevin, I have been enjoying your blog for the last three years. Been using many of the recipes and gardening tips you have shared. This spring I put down newspaper under my mulch. It was very easy. My husband who doesn’t like to spend a lot of time working on the lawn or flower beds even helped. He said I hope this works, because it is easy to do in spring. Well, he just doesn’t want to hear me complain about the grass and weeds in the flowerbeds! He won’t pull the weeds, that has become my job. You how if you do a job a couple times it is now yours for life! 😉 Best to you and the Silver Fox!
Cheryl says
Happy Mother’s Day

This took seems perfect for getting weeds out of our dry, clay-like Southern Arizone soil. Putting up shade cloth today, we hit 100 degrees yesterday for the first time this year.

Beth says
I am really enjoying your blog. Today I am about to head out to process more compost from my huge bin, I enjoy sitting among the birds and squirrels, sorting out the worms and unfinished bits from the finished compost, and knowing that my garden will get the best possible food. I have a no-grass garden, and feel guilty about removing dandelions because the leaves have medicinal uses. I plant many other plants to feed birds and bees, and treat grass as a weed! I would love this tool!

Sure could use this, as in trying to get all of weeds roots, i cracked the wood in my OLD ” weedpuller”. So its pretty much a goner i think….. Thank you for the giveaway. Nice!!

Jeanne McIntyre says
I am so looking forward to the rain stopping long enough to work on building my new raised garden bed. Being almost 70, I don’t find it hard to get down to the weeds, I just find it hard getting back up. Raised beds should help with that. Right now I am binge watching my canner with Watermelon Jelly being processed. When seedless watermelons were on BOGO, I couldn’t resist. My family keeps telling me it is like “Summer” in their mouths.

Hey there Kevin … now that I’ve seen this tool at work and the great job it does, to have it would certainly ease up on arthritis in my hands and fingers!! over the years ‘Ive learned to leave the weeds that aren’t in my way, so the ones that I can’t let over run my flowers I still dig out by hand. And as for digging up dandelions … never they are the first food for our pollinators!
Having a horri horri would make me happy happy. 🙂

This Hori Hori tool would be a great help in the garden. The other name for it, diggy diggy reminds me of my old dog Duke, who was my pet when I was a little girl. He was a mix of hound and beagle and loved to dig tunnels in our backyard. He could have been called diggy diggy = ) He was the same size as Lily the beagle. Thanks for the chance to win such a useful tool.

suz says
these days, i’m binge-watching the weather channel mostly, because we’ve had so much on-off rain. if it’s raining or about to, i’m off to plant-shop. if it’s going to be nice or at least dry, i’m checking things off the outdoor to-do list, although i can barely keep up with the grass-cutting in between rains. your fab giveaway would really help with cleaning the garden beds and starting new ones. –suz in ohio.
susan says
Cool prize. I would love to win this tool. I’m ready to get to working in my garden. We’ve had lots of rain and unseasonably cold weather as of late.

Need Need Need to have a Hori Hori Knife! Have 1.7 acres in a Northeast Mississippi lawn, and have planted about 600 azaleas, shrubs and trees; this week am planting seven Coral Drift Roses in a semi-circle in front of a semi-circle of Lime Glow Barberri out in the “living fence” separating our property from the neighbors. It’s all about perennials with varying color, texture and height; with five benches and a flagstone walkway. Retirement to small-town Water Valley is fun, but it’s working us to death! Love your emails.
jean says
I need more of Lily…..she’s adorable.
She looks older (like me) and in need of all the help she can get with garden tools that work!
Hori Hori…:):)
Glenn says
“a weed is only in the eye of the beholder”

Love the tool!! And it looks like it doesn’t take huge clumps of grass with it either. Working on a trellis for moon flowers beside my hot tub!
Jane Marino says
We are battling poison ivy and bittersweet in a formerly wild and wooly peninsula separating our home from the neighbors. And I hate using chemicals. A Hori Hori knife might be just the tool I need!
Barbara D says
Would luv to give it a try!!! Hopefully it would make my life a little easier by giving my back a break since it would be a faster process!!
Janice Foster says
love the looks of it . Bet it gets the job done.
Kyle says
The honey bees should bee in heaven with all my dandelions!
Sheryl says
I am having a hard time getting started in the yard and garden this spring (maybe because it gets nice, then it snows, then it rains, then the chickens get out and dig up the few things that are coming up on their own…), but I am ready to go…and this tool would give me great motivation to get serious!
Sharon says

Just let me go after those pesky wild onions! They are as close to everlasting as any sequoia!
Love your newsletter!
Jacqueline Gorter says
We dug up most of the garden today and still have not been able to remove all the weeds, your diggy diggy knife sounds awesome.
Kathleen says
Mojave Moon says:
It’s that time of year again in the desert! A Hori-hori will fix everything. Any tool that saves time by being effective allows me to give garden tours, plant, propagate, give gobs of plants away, and just sit and talk to folks, which is the most fun of all! Can’t we somehow “rig” the random winner picker??
Helen H. says
Would love this tool. When the rain and my bad back keep me out of the gardens, I am binge knitting for my grandchildren’s Christmas presents.
Jan says
Great newsletter! Kevin. I’ve used many of your recipes and tips. Would love the tool. Presently am hooked on reruns of “House”.
Tina Knowlton says

Rose Hadidian says
Hope I win. Happy Mother’s Day to all.
Linda Witt says
Since reading your blog, I’ve gone from being a terrible gardner to one who can atleast sound like she knows what she is talking about. There is hope for me. A hori hori tool would make me look like I know what I’m talking about. Thanks for all your great advice.
Sherry Pace says
Sounds like just the tool I need to remove the dreaded poison ivy! I don’t like to go near it because I am very sensitive/susceptible/allergic even, but every landscaper I know just wants to spray chemicals…Thanks so much for your generosity.

Helen Gildea says
I am an obsessive weed chaser. Each year I choose one weed in partiicular that I try to eradicate. Going after them before the germinate the next season. A Hori Hori tool would certainly help cut down on the swearing and frustration of having the tap roots break off!!
Linda says

It’s even spring in the high plains, at least until this weekend!!

Lots of weeds I could use this on.
Mary says
Love your site! Happy Mother’s Day!
phyllis says
Kevin, I have an idea for your next recipe post… Edible weeds! You plucked up three of my favorites with that lovely hori-hori. The onions, burdock and especially the dandelion are all extremely delicious and so nutritious. They make a gorgeous salad. This is truly a topic worth exploring.

Have a beautiful great day.

Sue Thomas says
I would give one as a belated mother’s day present for my cousin. She is in France til August so there is plenty of time. I am really appreciating the one I got for myself this week!
Rita Rohleder says
I would love to win this very useful tool. It would be greatly needed. My yard is full of weeds, etc. I have ordered lots of plants in the past through the mail and online and I believe that some of the weeds came with these plants. I did not have these kind of weeds before. Some of them I have never even seen before.
Laura says
I entered your contest for this in 2013 and I’m pretty sure we had to share it on FB. An out-of-town friend saw the post and gave me one as a Hostess gift when he and his wife visited us that summer. It has been a life saver – well a carpel tunnel saver as I jab it in the ground instead of doing the twisting action I do with other tools. Everyone should have one especially if you have the same problem with your wrist bothering you. I wouldn’t do without it and would love another one to keep in another area of the property to be more convenient. Glad you posted where to get it as I was just thinking last week or ordering another one for myself.
Elizabeth King says
Hi Kevin. I am living in a Senior’s apartment building & this year my neighbour & I are having a raised vegetable garden for the first time. I have had gardens in the past but not in recent years. We are quite excited & I know we could put this lovely tool to good use.

Carole says
I used a Japanese pull saw for woodworking, and if this tool is any indication the hori should diggy diggy better than anything I currently have in my shed.
We finished bingewatching all episodes of Doc Martin, every White Collar episode, every Harry Potter film, and now we’re looking for the next quest. Are you planning a cable show in the near future?
Randa says
Whether I win or not, I always love to read about all the tools you use in your garden. I don’t know if all my dandelions would feel safe with such a shiny tool in my shed, as I do use the roots for tinctures which I use for indigestion. Such a dilemma – a hori hori or medicinal dandelion roots!
Lori Schmidt says
Love your blog, it is a wealth of information, thank you. Would love one of these little diggy diggy goodies!!
Julie says
What a great weapon in the War on Weeds! I’d love get one….make my Mother’s Day!

Pam says
Awesome tool! Will be planting our raised bed veggie garden this weekend with finers crossed!

Hoping I don’t float away down the nearby creek with all this rain! Could really use a hori hori when the land is dry again.
Merle says
The Japanese created so many simple yet useful tools.
Christine Pop says
That hori hori looks really really useful! Looks like it would also work well for planting small bulbs or seedlings. I love that it is marked as a ruler as well, very helpful when planting. And the serrated edge would be handy for little pruning jobs or HACKING SLUGS TO A GOOEY GRISLEY DEATH!!!!! Kevin pardon me for getting carried away! I’ve clearly been watching way too much Dexter.
Btw, thank you for the giveaway! Its like a free lottery ticket! What fun!
Nancy says

I would love to win a hori hori. It would make a great addition to my gardening tools. Today I spent about 6 hours in my yard. Cleaned out three beds, planted tomatoes, squash,peppers, cukes, green beans, radishes, leek, and a bunch of other stuff. Yes, I am exhausted and am in bed waiting for sleep to catch me and renew my energy for tomorrow. I need to work for three hours and then back to the yard.
Katy Lamb says
What a great tool to go foraging with, something I’m trying to get into more.

I just binge watched all 17 episodes of a glorious thing called “The Time In Between”. It’s in Spanish, but of course you can get English captions. Exciting and gripping story set in the time around the Spanish civil war and before WW 2 starts up. The lead actress is stunning and her clothes are amazing. I highly recommend it!
Carissa says
What an amazing little tool. I’m struggling with cleaning multiples beds that never were cleared last year–so lots of weed build-up. Alas. I might just have to get one of these for myself.
Carol says
I was looking for ways to avoid using landscape fabric and took your advice about using newspaper.

Thanks for the offer, and for all the WONDERFUL advice you give!!
Anne Pollock says
It is so nice of you to share this tool with us. It looks amazing. Thank you.
LilyGrace says
Sadly, I have not even attempted to go out and weed my flower garden yet. It’s been cold and rainy — and rainy and cold. Perhaps, winning this tool will inspire me to get out there.
And it is very kind of you to always be giving things away for free.
Ceal Whalen says
Just moved into my house and can’t wait to “hit the yard” – planting fruit trees, big above-ground veggie area, and anything else I can get my hands on. This tool will make my life so much more fun.
