10
00:00:30,613 --> 00:00:34,013
Speaker 2: us this morning some of your favorite tools for getting

11
00:00:34,053 --> 00:00:35,533
Speaker 2: your hands dirty at this time of year.

12
00:00:36,293 --> 00:00:36,853
Speaker 4: Well, there's a.

13
00:00:36,773 --> 00:00:39,333
Speaker 3: Couple of things that you know most most gardeners that

14
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:41,533
Speaker 3: have been doing this for ages. No, for instance, what

15
00:00:41,573 --> 00:00:44,493
Speaker 3: a trenching spade is. A trenching spade is one of

16
00:00:44,533 --> 00:00:48,333
Speaker 3: those thinner, narrow spades that's quite long. But the cool

17
00:00:48,373 --> 00:00:51,373
Speaker 3: thing is it digs quickly and deeply, and it makes

18
00:00:51,493 --> 00:00:55,893
Speaker 3: wonderful straight If you're like trench places where you can

19
00:00:55,933 --> 00:00:57,533
Speaker 3: plant trees, trenches that's the word.

20
00:00:57,573 --> 00:00:59,053
Speaker 4: Yeah, where you can plant your trees.

21
00:00:59,173 --> 00:01:00,933
Speaker 3: So that I don't really want to talk too much

22
00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:03,973
Speaker 3: about it, just saying this is something that really saves

23
00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:04,493
Speaker 3: your back.

24
00:01:04,933 --> 00:01:07,533
Speaker 4: And your arthritis. I can tell that for free.

25
00:01:08,373 --> 00:01:10,413
Speaker 3: So that's number one. Number two weeding. If you want

26
00:01:10,413 --> 00:01:13,253
Speaker 3: to talk about weeding implements. Everybody will know what a

27
00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:17,013
Speaker 3: hole is, but there is there is a fabulous one

28
00:01:17,013 --> 00:01:19,333
Speaker 3: that I got from a Dutch guy that I met

29
00:01:19,373 --> 00:01:23,813
Speaker 3: at the Meggis. No not the Meggis, the garden festivals,

30
00:01:23,853 --> 00:01:27,133
Speaker 3: you know the stuff there Elleslie garden shows and Meggie

31
00:01:27,173 --> 00:01:30,133
Speaker 3: was theirs too, and that was yap snay boy. He

32
00:01:30,293 --> 00:01:33,333
Speaker 3: has a hole from the Netherlands that you can get

33
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:36,133
Speaker 3: in New Zealand, which he calls the Royal Hole, and

34
00:01:36,173 --> 00:01:39,573
Speaker 3: it has a wonderful pool head on it, but also

35
00:01:40,013 --> 00:01:43,893
Speaker 3: a three timed other side that you can actually cut

36
00:01:44,213 --> 00:01:46,413
Speaker 3: literally down to the roots of all your weeds.

37
00:01:47,013 --> 00:01:48,973
Speaker 4: This is fabulous stuff.

38
00:01:49,293 --> 00:01:53,653
Speaker 3: I mean it's not terribly cheap or anything, but boy,

39
00:01:53,773 --> 00:01:55,533
Speaker 3: they work for decades and work.

40
00:01:55,853 --> 00:01:57,693
Speaker 2: So just to explain this again, So you've got the

41
00:01:57,773 --> 00:02:00,533
Speaker 2: traditional hole on one side, and then on the other side,

42
00:02:00,573 --> 00:02:03,333
Speaker 2: it's like one of the three fingered implements, isn't it.

43
00:02:03,493 --> 00:02:05,973
Speaker 3: That's right YEA that goes deep into the soil and

44
00:02:06,053 --> 00:02:08,493
Speaker 3: takes all the roots out that you don't want there

45
00:02:08,773 --> 00:02:09,973
Speaker 3: of the weeds and this.

46
00:02:09,933 --> 00:02:13,013
Speaker 4: Is the good turn it over where you go. Excellent stuff.

47
00:02:13,253 --> 00:02:16,933
Speaker 3: Nice number three And we've talked about this before. Actually

48
00:02:16,973 --> 00:02:19,693
Speaker 3: people ask me a lot also on Sunday morning, how

49
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:22,773
Speaker 3: do you cut these blinking flex leaves that constantly go

50
00:02:22,853 --> 00:02:28,573
Speaker 3: over the drive. So the Japanese have invented the sharpest

51
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:32,813
Speaker 3: tool in the toolbox. It's called the knee washy flex knife.

52
00:02:32,973 --> 00:02:36,973
Speaker 3: Knee washy is the thing, and it is sharp as

53
00:02:37,253 --> 00:02:40,133
Speaker 3: it's got tiny teeth sticking downwards, and you're going to

54
00:02:40,173 --> 00:02:43,733
Speaker 3: be so careful with it because it really really causes

55
00:02:43,773 --> 00:02:46,253
Speaker 3: troubles if you don't watch out with your finger. But

56
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:49,253
Speaker 3: you can cut literally even the dead flex leaves are

57
00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:50,733
Speaker 3: cut in a wivvy.

58
00:02:50,813 --> 00:02:52,053
Speaker 4: No problem at all.

59
00:02:52,253 --> 00:02:53,093
Speaker 2: Oh, very nice.

60
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:55,933
Speaker 3: Finally, finally something I'm going to give you one day,

62
00:02:59,453 --> 00:03:02,013

63
00:03:02,093 --> 00:03:05,133
Speaker 3: nice ninety degree bend and it is actually made here

Speaker 5: if you like, and it is ninety degree angles, very sharp,

68
00:03:17,373 --> 00:03:20,653
Speaker 5: and it is really quick to use for ripping the

69
00:03:20,733 --> 00:03:22,973
Speaker 5: roots out of weeds, and the pointy end can of

70
00:03:22,973 --> 00:03:24,213
