Hori Hori Garden Tool/Winner Announced

IMG_9394Per 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!

    Maybe this time I’ll be lucky. I stopped fighting the dandelions in my lawn to help the bees but I still remove them from my flower and vegetable beds. This tool would be useful.

    Hori Hori! I am enrolled at the Chestnut School for Herbal Medicine and I just added this tool to my growing Amazon wish list. They recommend it, too, as a great addition to your garden tool belt. Winning one would be awesome as tuition and supplies add up quickly. Oy!

    We are binge watching Last man on earth and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Both hysterical
    .
    P.S. I now have a healthy, bubbly, sour dough starter on hand at all times. Thanks for the simple tutorial.

  19. 19

    Brigitte says

    My battle with the weeds started this year before all the snow was gone! And it will continue until well after it starts snowing again. I refuse to use chemicals on my half acre, and therefore, pull them all! To say I could use this, is an understatement!

  22. 22

    Leslie says

    This is one awesome gardening tool! My kiddos might get mad if I take over their weed pulling business haha! In all seriousness this would be great to use in my gardens. Might just have to pick one up myself. Thanks for another great article!

  26. 26

    Sharon from Maine says

    Still cold here in Maine. Gray, overcast day. It’s not the day to be in the garden. The daffodils are blooming their hearts out. Spring may come yet.

    Imgine if I had the wonderful Hori Hori how wonderful my gardens would look!

    need that hori hori tool.

  40. 40

    Christy A says

    I told my mother I wanted a hori hori, but with my track record with accidents, she was afraid “diggy diggy” would really mean “stabby stabby” (and she doesn’t even watch Game of Thrones).

  42. 42

    Catherine Pica says

    Please don’t use your Hori Hori to commit Hara Kiri. I don’t have a TV, so I binge-watch my kitties purry purry.

  81. 81

  86. 86

    Connie M says

    Dang, I NEED one of these. Pulling weeds is so hard on my back nowadays, that I kind of don’t do it anymore. . . shame on me. This looks like a terrific tool, Kevin.

  88. 88

    Dana Freeman says

    I need this because I have a million weeds that need to go. Pick me!!

  89. 89

    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)+

  91. 91

    SARAH HANNAH says

    WOW! this if the first time I have seen a Hori Hori!!! Would work wonderfully in my yard!!

  92. 92

    Queenie Miller says

    JoAnne says

    What a great tool for all the weeds in my circle. Tn has too many weeds.

    Have always wanted to own the hori hori , but no room in budget, this would be a dream come true, thanks for the chance.

  96. 96

    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!

  97. 97

    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’

  98. 98

    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!

    kt mm says

    The only binge watching I am doing is the weather to figure out when to start my garden. I am a late bloomer. 😛
    I would love a Hori Hori tool. It sounds very artsy, and I would like my garden to be a work of art–like yours are.

  121. 121

    Becky says

    Although I have one of these (love it) I have someone in mind to gift it to. Perfect!

    Mary in Iowa says

    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.

  143. 143

    Lace Faerie says

    I would so love a Hori Hori! My gardens merely dozed instead of slumbered this winter and I am knee deep in weeds!

    Karin says

    My garden and lawn are 50 different lengths. I get one bit mowed or weeded, or weed gobbled and it rains. Then I get another bit done and it rains. However, I can enjoy cooking soup on all these rainy days.

  155. 155

    Lois says

    Oh, how I[‘d love a Hori Hori! My favorite “tool” right now, not for weeds, but for cutting up cardboard to go under mulch to defeat weeds, is an old serrated steak knife. I even ordered a back-up from eBay!

  175. 175

    Emily says

    My husband and I moved this winter to a new home. I’m starting over from scratch with my garden(s)!

    Thanks to you, I have made one of my mother’s gardens beautifully weed free with newspaper and mulch. You are a lifesaver. Since I don’t live with her, I couldn’t stay on top of the weeds. Now I don’t have to worry.

    I’ve also been making my own butter since you posted the instructions and it’s wonderful!

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

    Julie says

    Watching the plants enjoy the cool (cold) wet weather here South of Boston – and trying to calculate how tall the average weed will get before I can get them under control. Would love some help 🙂

    Yuki says

    I heard about it, but never bothered to even look into this. It is a shame since I am from that country, Japan. So I, for sure would like to use it first time in my life since I have lots of, I mean lots of weeds to deal with.

    Hope I win.

    thanks.

    Kevin-

    I love your blog! I use a dibbler to plant my bulbs…(OK, that sounds weird.) Your garden is beautiful.

    Speaking of binge watching, I’m hooked on Nurse Jackie!

    Susan says

    We’re watching Deadwood, all 3 seasons.

    Thanks for the offering, Kevin. You’re sweet & generous.

    Susan Owens says

    Weeds? What weeds? Oh….those cute yellow things aren’t flowers? Okay, seriously, would love the knife.

  205. 205

    Susan Peacock says

    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.

  206. 206

    Doreen Docherty says

    My new garden in the Pacific Northwest (which relies heavily on Kevin’s advice) would love this tool. Question – can you eat cupcakes with it? Haha.

  207. 207

    Tresea Jackson says

    Would love one to rid me of all my weeds! Love your weekly messages, makes me want to stop working and go home and play in my garden.

  209. 209

    Rosser Tilley says

    I bet it would work on ailanthus sprouts…. whoever named that tree of heaven was looking in the wrong direction…

    Bobbie says

    This tool would be so helpful in my large gardens. I enjoy all your suggestions.

    Tracey says

    Hi Kevin! I sat through 5 episodes of the detour, gross but funny. I have had one of these in my Amazon cart for a while, might have to buy myself a mother’s day gift. Have a great day!!

  212. 212

    Sandy says

    I would love to have a hori hori tool to use between episodes of Downton Abbey seasons 5 & 6. Am catching up through a DVD collection.

  213. 213

    Brittany says

    Ooh! I’ve been wanting one of these; I have one saved on my wishlist even! I was waiting until around July to purchase. (I’m planning to use it to thin my iris beds)

  214. 214

    S says

    I hope I win it and my husband loves it so much that I don’t have to use it!

  215. 215

    Marianne says

    This tool could inspire me to get out and take care of business in the garden instead of cringing behind closed curtains!

  216. 216

    Mary Allen says

    WOW this would be an awesome tool to help with all my yard and gardening issues!

    Sue Smith says

    I need one too. I love the saw blade and the pointy end. Good looking tool.

  221. 221

    Pepper says

    This tool looks like a miracle worker! I seem to wage a never-ending battle against weeds!

  222. 222

    Karen says

    Talk about multi tasking….I could dig, chop, plant, remove weeds and check my hairdo with one tool!

  224. 224

    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!

  225. 225

    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.

  226. 226

    Suzanne says

    Yes, please. I could use this tool right now…heading outside to pull weeds and mulch my roses.

  227. 227

    Jean Charlton says

    Oh my, I’ve always wanted a Hori Hori! That aside, love the recipes for today. Gotta say you have mighty good looking parents.

  228. 228

    MaryBeth Hibbert says

    Never have had one of these tools. I’m 68 and love gardening….it’s a passion of mine!! What a great tool to help keep the weeds in tact.

  230. 230

    Dawn M Baldi says

    Not really binge watching much of anything. I would however like to try this tool out.

  231. 231

    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.

  232. 232

    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?

  235. 235

    Eve Robinson says

    Currently, I’m binge watching “The Americans”. I love your recipes and have tried some of them. They are delish!

  244. 244

    Sue Emden says

    HI Kevin, that little baby would come in handy since I’m in the country with over an acre & lots of beautiful flower gardens & veggie gardens & we take care of it ourselves. Thanks for your interesting, fun & delicious blog.

  247. 247

    Diane R. says

    Pick me, pick me…please. Oh how this tool would be loved and would save my back!

  248. 248

    Kate says

    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!

  250. 250

    Pat Miller says

    I love your post!! Look forward to reading it when it comes!! I would love a tool like that to help me out with all the weeds that seam to sprout out over night!! Thanks!!

    Janet Quinn says

    “Diggy Diggy”!! what an appropriate name for a tool that is used constantly (rogue thistles) since we all have unwanted plants in places in the garden!! I’ve worn out the current weed-digging tool!! Keep on writing! I have a file full (stomach also) of many of your recipes! Tasty & yummy-yummy!

  255. 255

    Barbara Zakrzewski says

    Hi Kevin,
    That is a tool I would love to have for use when I garden. I love your site and have used many of your wonderful recipes, useful tips, and thoroughly enjoy the tours of your home and gardens. When I first joined your website I lived at a different address. If I provided an address when I joined, how do I update it.

    Why am I so competent when it comes to growing weeds…..but my flowers don’t fair so well?

  277. 277

    Victoria Gumm says

    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. But the garden is looking good. Ate our first tomato this week. Am watching ‘Better Call Saul’. And keeping up with the ‘American’

    Fran says

    I would love this gardening tool. We have 5 raised beds and it would be very handy for maintaining them. However, I would like to comment on the extra-delicious scone recipe Kevin so graciously sent to me. Thanks for being so generous to your readers. Love your blog… keep it and the recipes coming.

  284. 284

    lori lanard says

    I need this 🙂 I use newspaper and pine straw to conquer the weeds but they have a way of sneaking back up come June and July . Send some honey bees this way too.

  291. 291

    Teddie Brown says

    Love reading your posts every month. Dutifully read every receipe and gardening tip. I live in NC so sometimes your timing is off from our gardening duties here. But we grow the biggest badest weeds and that tool would be a Godsend.
    Great idea!

    Laurel says

    I began removing the volunteer weed grasses, and in flight bird seeds landing everywhere and sprouting for over a month. A good rain helps to pull them out, however this hori hori may be the ticket to success.

    Here in our neck of the woods, I have cause to wonder whether we have more fire ants or weeds…at least the weeds don’t come chasing after us if we step on them!

    Love your blog and have been a fan for almost two years. Thanks for all your hard work to share so much really great information and photos. I love your writing style, too!

    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!

  318. 318

    Annalisa Villalon Kyvik says

    I love your blog and now my mother follows you too. You inspire me!!and I made your portabella

    Susy b says

    Bates motel! My favorite show…. I too, refuse to get rid of all dandys. Some in places not needed do have to go tho. But with those, i cut off and am drying the roots, dryed the heads a bit and pulled out the main flower to make dandy oil. 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.

    Susann says

    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. 🙂

  424. 424

    Julie R says

    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.

    Hi Kevin,

    our neighbors have nothing but dandelions in their garden. If I would live in a city I would send them the weed inspector. We have to control the dandelions all summer. A hori hori garden tool would be a big help. Thank you very much to let me participate.

    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.

    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.

  493. 493

    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!!

  497. 497

    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!

  498. 498

    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??

  533. 533

    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.

    I just signed up about 10 days ago and made the Rustic Onion Tart for friends. It made a great BIG hit and will now be a favorite. Thank you so much.

  573. 573

    Vickie Thomas says

    Don’t watch TV unless it looks like severe weather. Time is mostly outside or in the kitchen. Would really put the hori hour to work, if I had one.

  575. 575

    Maryann Massar says

    I could sure use this tool Kevin! My favorite thing to do on Mother’s Day is play in my garden! Just think how much damage I could do with this, LOL! Thanks for all the wonderful garden tips and recipes I get from following you.

  576. 576

    Jane says

    I’m a hori-hori-less master gardener, how have I made it through 55 years of weeding without this nifty tool? Would love to look at your reflection when I use it! (What do you mean, it doesn’t work that way?)

  578. 578

    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.

  579. 579

    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. Happy Mother’s Day to your Mom who raised such a terrific guy (even if you aren’t her fave).

    Cindy says

    Boy, could I use this! After all this rain stops, the weeds will be ten foot high!

    Lu Narine says

    I am grateful for all the give-aways you do Kevin. I am a beekeeper, so I am happy to hear that you leave the dandelions for their early foraging. You’re so cool.

  584. 584

    Marye says

    I don’t have a hori hori tool! (Would love to win one!)

    Thanks for the plug for honey bees…. my hive died over the winter but a new swarm arrived in April…. still buzzing strong. Bless the bees and the weeds.

  585. 585

    Joan S. says

    I’m a Game of Thrones fan but this tool seems as if it could tackle the Gang of Thorns in my garden. Lovin’ your emails.

    Pearl Geiger says

    I really enjoy your newsletters. and I am saving my newspapers to use in the garden now instead of putting them in the recycle garbage. I would love to win the hori, hori.It looks like a good tool to own. thanks for the opportunity .

    I don’t have a hori hori or a diggy diggy, but I do lots and lots of digging weeds on my acre.

    Susan McAuliffe says

    Have been dealing with weeds the past two weeks getting the beds ready for spring. That tool would be loved and cared for at my house. I feel lucky so I will prepare a special place in my garage for my new hori hori knife.

    Not binge watching anything right now but started watching a new 6 part series called ” Night Manager” on AMC. Very good show so far.

  600. 600

    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!!

  602. 602

    Annie says

    I’ve had this on my “wish list” since I read your first article in 2013. Currently binge watching NCIS but a friend was just telling me how great Game of Thrones is so I’m going to give it a look.

  603. 603

  611. 611

    Mary Beth says

    I just moved from a house that has hard clay soil to one with loam, which is very diggable dirt. A diggy-diggy tool would make it easier to work there.

  613. 613

    Marie Gordon Gardner says

    Ooh! Shiny. Mine is so old that my sheath has fallen apart and I am constantly cleaning off the rust with WD40 (obviously this was before the stainless hori horis came out). The ruler is nice too!

  615. 615

    Dee Lansing says

    Love that tool. I hate weeds…..love your gardens and recipes…..a truly fantastic blog….don’t ever stop. I am currently watching net flicks Marseille

    terry rettig says

    I’d love to win this wonderful tool to give to my son who just joined a community garden in Brooklyn, NY. At the moment he has few if any gardening tools.

    On another topic I love just about all of your recipes that I’ve tried. The lemon cupcakes are sublime!

  620. 620

    Kathleen says

    I would love one. I have lots of weeds this year in California. I am not complaining as that means we finally got some rain but to bad the good stuff does not grow like the weeds. Have a good day…

  621. 621

    LJ says

    I love getting a new tool and I especially adore old farming hand tools. I have heard rave reviews about this one from a friend. Hope I win! Love your website, referred my garden club friends to it.

  622. 622

    Carol Ann Gregg says

    I have been binge watching “Castle” but I am not sure this useful garden tool will help with that. My flower beds need a spring cleaning. Oh, I’ll bet it could help with that. Thanks for the great give away.

  623. 623

    Leslie in NV says

    Hope this is the winning number! That tool would be so auspicious for digging into “Sierra cement” or the clay soil of NV!
    Made the light & lovely orange juice waffles for May Day! Perfection! I did my usual beaten egg whites rather than cornstarch, & added a pinch of cinnamon!
    Love your humor, your helpful hints-thanks so much!

    I surely must be the one and only to deserve this tool since I’m doing a lot more hand gardening this ;year. one outta 612.

  630. 630

    Mary says

    My mom is 90 years old and still maintains a large garden. She does her weeding using an old knife that my grandmother actually used for the same thing when I was young. The knife is over 50 years old. It would be great to have this toll and it last just as long.

  633. 633

    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.
    Many thanks for your wonderful blog! xo

    The Hori-Hori looks wicked… which we need after all the rain, wind and storms blowing all kinds of seeds thru the air… if we wanted them or not! I will need to get one even if I don’t win. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your Mom have a wonderful Mother’s Day. We just celebrated my Mom’s 92 birthday. I’m so lucky she is close by so I can see her anytime I want. Have a beautiful great day.

    I’m fairly confident that I cannot survive another gardening season without this tool!

  667. 667

    Wendy McBride says

  682. 682

    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!

  683. 683

    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.

  684. 684

    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.

  704. 704

    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?

  705. 705

    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!

  706. 706

    Lori Schmidt says

    Love your blog, it is a wealth of information, thank you. Would love one of these little diggy diggy goodies!!

    After last years contest, I purchased my own Hori Hori knife. It has been my best friend on my 2 acres. Built a raised bed garden for my Mom last weekend so a nice Hori Hori knife would go great with it!

  710. 710

    Pam says

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

  711. 711

    Porter says

    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.

  713. 713

    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!

  714. 714

    I’m in the middle of rescuing a neglected native garden, so the hori hori would be very handy.Given the California drought, it’s surprising how many weeds keep going!

  753. 753

    Beverly Nolan says

    Not binge watching anything while the sun is showing it’s beautiful face longer each day and calling all the weeds out to play-help hori hori!

  754. 754

    Brigitte 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.

  756. 756

    R. L. Bradley-Slaughter says

    This tool would be great to remove some of the weeds out of my strawberry patch and the rock garden. Kevin your parents look great and you are blessed to have them.

    I have another Japanese weeding tool (can’t remember the name and it’s too early (and dark) to run out to the shed) that my Mom uses and got as a gift for me, but I’d love to add another to my arsenal.

    I’m also watching The Americans and also AMC’s The Hotel Manager. Can’t forget AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead either. All are great series!

    I enjoy reading your blog! I discovered your blog by finding your article on using newspaper under mulch. I used newspaper last spring and my garden beds still look weed free. Thanks for all your helpful garden tips.

    A gardening friend of mine would love one and so would I. 🙂

    I love that it translates to diggy diggy.

    Day lilies are battling dandelions…. I need a tool for the job, when I’m not busy watching the adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63!

  780. 780

    Cyndy Franz says

    I battle with dandelions in my yard every year and I don’t want to use weed killer on my lawn. I would love a Horizon Horizon knife to get to the “root” of the matter! I really hate being the ugly stepsister on the corner!!

  781. 781

    Julie M. says

    I would love to have these just so I could say the name frequently. For example, “Honey, my hori hori and I are heading out to the garden”.

  782. 782

    Dan Burns says

    Would love to have that Hori Hori. Binge watching highway through hell.

  783. 783

    Jan Libby says

    Just watched This Old House last night and they recommended the hori hori for all its usefulness. Should I not win, I certainly will purchase one.

  784. 784

    Diane says

    I’m already thinking about where I would use the Hori Hori. I need it! Good luck to me!

  785. 785

    Melissa Nehr says

    Never saw one of these before but very excited to find out about it. About 8 years ago I bought a whole bunch of (and I mean a whole bunch of) daylilies assorted colors from a Daylily Farm. And with it came weeds! Every variety you can think of! Would be nice to get into that Daylily Garden attack some of those weeds with ease.

  786. 786

    Patricia says

    Really, really enjoy your bogs, Kevin. I’ve been using a butcher knife for years for my weeds, but the horizon horizon links like it would be an even better tool. Have a great Mothers Day weekend!

  787. 787

    Lisa says

    This tool would be super for the dock weeds in my garden whose tap roots are relentless! Thank you for this chance!

  788. 788

    Anne Morse says

    I worry that the tip of the tool may bend in my clay soil.. but would love to test it!

    Linda says

    I’d like one of these. We down South have quite a few more weeds than you do up North, I do believe. Would like to get one.

    Tina says

    For my husband on Mother’s Day. What is a mother without father? It didn’t happen. Plus, he is The Pricker-Slayer ’round here. He doesn’t know a dogwood from a locust. But he knows what prickles a bare foot.

    I have a ton of uses for that great tool! Most of which are dandelions! I’m enjoying “Call the Midwife”, at the moment!

  808. 808

    Cerise Terry says

    Living in Sarasota,Fl. I have to weedy weedy All year round. I do it all by handy handy ,no chemicals ,so a hori hori would be a helpy helpy.

  809. 809

    Carrie says

    This looks amazing! Right now my husband and I have been binge watching Dexter, but I am really wishing the rain would stop so I can get out and into my gardens!

    With so much rain lately, I know the weeds are just getting a huge head start!

    _T_T_ says

    Hori hori, diggy diggy! Man, do I have a metric fluckton of dandelions in my yard. Diggy diggy for me me, please!

  812. 812

    Kit Leroy says

    If the hori hori can remove burdock, sign me up! this nuisance weed has been the bane of my existence for years!

  814. 814

    Joan says

    So many weeds… so little time. Help hori hori so I can watch the Midwives.

  815. 815

    Lynne says

    Love the diggy diggy tool. Could use it right now …. along with extra energy….to de-weed my veggie grade. Before the newspaper of course!

  816. 816

    Ina says

    Need my garden rotto tilled this year, maybe I could use the hori hori as a last resort.

  820. 820

    Laura says

    I would love to try this tool to get a handle on the weeds in my garden. As far as dandelions go, we enjoy eating them. Raw when they are young and cooked as they get older. Just make sure you don’t pick the ones that a dog may have visited.

  821. 821

    Carol freer says

    I sure could use a knife like that. It would make gardening easier.

  823. 823

    Monica says

    This is a great tool. I gave one to my father years ago! Thanks for the opportunity to win one.

  828. 828

    Sue B says

    I’m beginning to “harvest” my plants from jugs. I think they should have been put on the south side of my house (next year). Great idea! The tool would also be a great idea ( for me).
    Thanks!!

    I think it will be a cold day in —– to win with this many entry’s. But will try and would love to. Watching Brewers loose to Cin. Go Brewers.

    badger gardener says

    I love, love, love my Hori Hori knife and am learning to never walk out into the yard without it. Will gladly share one of these magnificent tools with a friend if I win. I haven’t had time for binge watching anything lately but appreciate reading everyone else’s current faves so I know what to look for when it is binge time.

    kay wolters says

    This would be so amazing I am redoing My gardens to simple and beautiful……calm and hummingbird and butterfly heaven….I would use this tool to get rid of the always pain creeping Charlie, grass that I was promised would stay in one place, Not, and a few more invasive plants

    Jerelyn Sehl says

    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!

  849. 849

    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.

  850. 850

    Carol says

    I was looking for ways to avoid using landscape fabric and took your advice about using newspaper. I haven’t completed the whole garden yet–arthritis in hands, knees, etc. That Hori Hori would be a great help in completing my gardening chores. Thanks for the offer, and for all the WONDERFUL advice you give!!

  851. 851

    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.

  853. 853

    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.

  854. 854

    Cheryl says

    Finally, summer therapy has arrived, gardening. Thanks for who you are and how you change the world for better. hope to win the Hori Hori!

    Quite an interesting tool. If it can remove Burdock and its tap root, I must buy one of these. Enjoy your newsletter so much. :>)

    Janet says

    diggy diggy is the best! We had a different Japanese garden knife and it was a multi-use treasure. I really look forward to receiving your e-news and have enjoyed making many of the recipes, along with your delightful tutorials. Thanks!

  884. 884

    Barbara says

    What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift this would be! Although my mother doesn’t garden. She shops. And i doubt a “diggy-diggy” tool would be of any assistance at all as she’s digging for sales on the Clearance racks. 🙂

  889. 889

    Kathy J says

    Binge watching I wish I could be so lucky! We just purchased my husband’s parents house and I swear they planted the weeds on purpose!! I could really use that magical tool!!
