Gardening Hori - Hori Hand Tool

Hori - Hori hand tool
Hori Hori are commonly referred to as “the ultimate hand tool” and while none of our garden team members have chosen this as their weapon of choice for day-to-day gardening we all own one. This tool is great for digging but its also a knife, which is fun for having around because theres always things that need to be cut around. And the knife has some measuring markings on it, so you can use it for plant spacing which is super convenient especially when youre not super experienced yet and want to get it just right by measuring the distance between your plants. Hori Hori also come with a thick and heavy wooden handle that can be used for pounding. The wider tip of this tool is also great for relocating plants delicately from one part of your garden to another.
Gardener Tiffany likes to take her hori hori camping with her so she can use it to pound in tent stakes, dig holes for hiding poop, and for always having a versatile larger knife around.

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
