The vegetable garden-weed control by hoeing

[Survive2Day]

Hello! Thanks for the video. Stupid question from a city boy, but won't the weeds just come back in a day or two? Or do the weeds take longer to come back? I am thinking with the weed just left on the soil, doesn't it just take root again?

[MrLarryHorse]

Is that a stand of garlic next to the onions?

[axiomatic272]

@MrLarryHorse Yes. its our garlic. W haven;t bought any garlic for a decade, we save teh best of our crop and plant in October. We'll be harvesting it in 1 or 2 weeks, will certainly make a video about the garlic. It took us ages to work out the best way to clean and plait (or weave) it and we were planning to share that with the youtube gardening community.

PS signed in as axiomatic272 but its Stephen and Julia (she's standing behind me as I type!)

[MrLarryHorse]

@axiomatic272 This is my first year with garlic, I'm in the Midwest U.S. and I have about a month for mine.  I did 8 varieties. I've pulled some for Spring garlic and used them in marinades and stir frys. Really good.

Never seen a hoe like that. If I find one of those my father might get a decent present this year =D

No boredom here. That would describe my videos. Yours are informative, and witty and fun to watch.

Your videos aren't boring at all!

I find hoeing quite meditative, just me the hoe and a gazillion $%&*** weeds :)

Hi, Can you add a video about various gardening tools that you and Julia use? I'm in the USA and noticed you use different and better tools than we have in our local hardware stores. Thank you.

P.S. Your video's are NOT boring!

@LSUTigerMom The hoe here is made by German company Wolf, their special thing is detachable heads that clip on to their handles. I bought the head and fixed it to a cheap handle here. I assume that if you Google on Wold garden tools you will find the hoe.

@LSUTigerMom I just checked, the tool used here is a 'Wolf push pull weeder' you should be able to find one easily.

apart from that, our only garden tools we use are regular stainless steel spade, forks, trowel, rake and African hoe (often sold as the Chillington hoe).

The one thing I would recommend to any would be vegetable gardener is John and Sally Seymour's outstanding 'The Complete Book of Self Suficiency' . we learned all we know about gardening from that book plus experience.

@LSUTigerMom I didn't think they were available in the Sates, but it seems that Amazon does carry the Wolf-garten line of tools. I tried to add the link, but keep getting an error.

[LSUTigerMom]

@docsimonson Thanks for recommending Amazon! I checked their website and they DO carry the hoe and handle and different attachments, too.

[docsimonson]

@LSUTigerMom My pleasure. Hope your garden is awesome this year!

[LSUTigerMom]

I need a hoe like this! Thanks for the video! I have lots of morning glories coming up in a bed and this would make quick work of removing them! P.S. I'm in the U.S. and love listening to your wonderful accent.

cool

[CelticSouthland]

I have never used that type of hoe, but I might try one now.

Thanks for the nice video!

[ceadeses]

None of your videos are boring! I could listen to you two all day and be perfectly entertained and educated! Buy the way my friends sister was a hoe and she didn't look anything like that.

Good video~

You should see my lettuce/greens bed, it's so overrun with mustard greens that I have to clip mustard leaves every day just so the lettuce gets some light! It's so thick that a legion of ladybugs moved in, to dispatch with the aphids (next up, all the turnip greens!) Oh, I recently wrote a song about the country music scene : ) When it's posted, I'll tell you about it : )
