I peed myself laughing when Kate walked across the garden with the electric guitar lol👍

Loved Kate walking behind you so funny especially when she scared you 😂

My daddy mowed our half acre of grass with a push mower and edged with scissors. ❤

Ohhhh need a hori hori knife ..what a good piece of kit 👌

Enjoyed the video 👍 nice to see Emma and interesting the different tools people prefer and need to use, we only have a front and back garden i lkve my hand tools and sectors i adore but my husband's are shovel spade lawnmower and strimmer there the most used but i ❤ having them all just incase for that job🤔

Nice to see the sunshine in Scotland 😊! This is a great video. We're moving in a couple of years to about 4 acres. But I've already been getting rid of things. It's tough to decide.

Thanks Emma i have the little weed puller but never knew thats what you do to get the weed out, it came in a set of threee hand tools i used it to dig and thought useless….haha. I wonder where i put it, no wonder it was hopeless. Fun video Elly & Kate

Your videos are so good, even though I had to wait two blooming days to watch it. Getting home from an early shift, making a cup of tea, and giggling at your tool descriptions really brightened my day. I think I need a weed burner, but a little bigger, to deal with the brambles.... best put the fire brigade on speed-dial :)

Me too, Hori hori is the go to at my garden plot and in my yard.

Hilarious and informative, enjoyed it immensely 😂

😂😂❤❤Kate’s so funny! I have a 2 acre property so I have a riding lawn tractor, unmotorized mower, hand trowel, shovel for planting larger potted plants, hand rake, snips/scissors, lopper for branches, and rake for mulch. Storing tools - now that’s a challenge cause some are in a box, the garage, and the greenhouse. When people give me ‘new’ tools I usually gift them to other gardeners cause even my hori hori doesn’t get a good work out.

Such a fun video! Kate did well with the props!

Love Kate's playing around. My most used tool is my Hori Hori. Second is probably a pitch fork for making compost and moving material. Couple wheelbarrows, lawnmowers and trimmers get used a lot too.

Glad I’m not the only one who says “ooh! The Claw” each time I use it 😂

This is hilarious! I live in a very hot, subtropical area in the US, that also experiences 7-8 months of drought. When neighbors move in from cold climates, they purchase a zillion garden items for the garden and/or lawn care. It only takes 12 months before they have hired a maintenance service, and the equipment/tools sit in the garage untouched. LOL 😂 I deal with the difficult conditions by working in the yard for only 6 months, and then leave everything alone the other 6 months except for occasional mowing.

Great collaboration between you and Emma, thought it was going to turn into a horror movie with Kate and her chainsaw! Loved seeing the difference between gardening tools versus allotment tools. I have lots of tools from when I had the garden that I rarely use now. Great update, thanks very much 😊

So sorry I missed the premier 😢😢 I bet it was a right giggle too! Loved this colab and it was fascinating seeing the differences in tools needed for garden v allotment lol the only tool I’d add is a pair of scissors other than that you covered every base!❤

If only we saw Kate's facial expression! 😅 your reaction 😅. Lots of love to all and for those in the states Happy 4th of July

spray paint the handles of the hori hori knives a florescent orange. You will find them easier.

I can run my whole garden with a hand shovel (trowel) and a garden fork. But my battery powered tiller does make spring and fall much easier! I also love my collapsible trash can for collecting weeds, and a bucket wrap for my tools (goes around a 5 gallon bucket).

My most important piece of kit are my workmen’s trousers with built in knee pads. I can work on my knees weeding without any discomfort!

Love watching your videos from SW Oregon, USA. We're a bit warmer here in the summer (38 / 17) We don't get any rain at all from April to October. Just fire weather. Keep up the education laced with a good bit o humor!

This was such a fun video!

And also what about a garden trug or hod for gathering produce in or collecting weeds as you move around the garden. And for all we just have a 50’ x 150’ piece of property, we own a garden cart/wheelbarrow that I use a lot!

Brilliant

Eye opening!! My shed is full of doubles. Stuff i brought with me after the divorce, and then stuff from my dad's garden... It's useful having two (at least) of trowels, hand forks, secateurs, etc. it means i can leave them in different areas instead of having to walk up and down looking for stuff. However you didn't mention the most useful tool. The one you've had for ages, which broke, and so you mended it with a bit of 2x1 and some gaffer tape!! I'll bet everyone has at least one!!!

Fab video Eli and Kate and So many tools that we use but only rely on the one as the go to tool. 😂

Hori hori, secateurs/snips, kneeling mat and gloves are the things I use constantly. I do have a dibber but tbh I just use the hori hori. Plenty of other tools get used when needed but if I could only have 1 tool it would be the hori hori, for sure. My newest tool is the broadfork and that's actually been a great addition for my compacted soil which trying to practice no dig. Oh and I'm all for thin gloves in size small but they can be so hard to find! And sometimes a small is not a small! Wilkos used to do a Junior glove which was perfect but now my go to is Briers green bamboo ones in small - try those Eli - so good.

What a great video! Thanks!

Lol 😂 Fab video. I'm definitely team hori hori, especially after changing all my veggie beds from in-ground to raised. My husband is team 🎸 😊 Having said that, I have ONE hori hori, he has about 15 guitars 🎸 !!!

Fun video ❤ Love you guys.

Got my first zucchini out of the garden this year and first peppers this morning.

Ron needs a hori hori! That is just his type of tool. I on the other hand need the flame thrower. The weeds in the neighbour’s driveway are way too time consuming to work by hand. And yes, I have permission to garden and tend to the neighbour’s property. 😁😁😁

Great video as always. I tend to get a lot of tools donated as an allotment gardener. So I have 3 spades 4 forks and 2 hoe's which just means more to leave lying around. I like you love the Hori Hori Knife and use it all the time. But I will be asking for the Japanese Hoe for my birthday this weekend. Thanks for the content

Emma’s weed puller: I have one that we used primarily for harvesting mussels off the rocks when we lived at the coast. Now I use it as a weed puller 😂

What a fantastic video! Informative, entertaining and just … feel good. Off to find Emma’s channel now.

LOL! The Brits love their tea so much, they keep in their sheds! (I am the rare American who drinks hot tea, but I’m not that obsessed!). 😂

Great video really enjoyed it, you can never have enough tool that you don't use or need 😁😁

I have orchards and big trees and hedges. So i have hedge trimmers, chainsaw (now my housemate has moved out, i need to learen to use it!) mini chainsaw, 2 kinds of long extendable loppers, a claw basket on a pole (for picking apples. I can climb well, but I've fallen off ladders too often because the ground gives way) . I also have fencing tools like wire cutters and pliers. As well as most of the stuff you have! My gamechanger this year is a pull along garden truck with fold down sides. Much better than a wheelbarrow for "stuff" rather than soil or compost.

I barely use my shovel to be honest! It’s funny how everyone has different ways of working. I use my pickaxe waaaay more than the large shovel, it’s so much quicker to move and break up a large amount of soil. I also use my hoe to stir my compost heap. I bought a couple of wet willies as a joke, but very quickly realised how amazing they are for being very precise with where I plant my seeds. I use them when potting and sowing all the time! The penknife and blade sharpeners are also used loads. What about the trusty watering cans, wheel barrows, buckets and knee pads? Things I couldn’t live without! The knee pad doubles as a small stool, and I also use it as foot stool to reach just out of reach places. Very handy! Things I don’t use as much as I thought: soil moisture and ph checker, the sieve, the large fork, the stiff rake (I use the leaf rake more)

Nice dibble. My hubby made me one from an old croquet stick.

Pruning saw, swoe, muck fork, border fork and spade, lump hammer and sack truck instead of wheelbarrow less lifting quarter acre garden with raised beds for fruit and veg.

Great collab video. I use an ice scoop for shovelling soil, might use a screwdriver for weeding if I have my work trousers on. Thing is, I plan to get a garden and the place I get most of my seeds also sell a ploskorez, aka a Fokin hoe, no joke, as the inventer is called Vladimir Fokin. It's a Russian flat-cutter for digging, weeding, cutting high grass/weeds. And I feel I want one, but wonder if I really need it.

😂 Kate!! 😂 My husband loves scarves by the bejaysus out of me too😂

I vote for the Hori Hori you forced me to buy.

I loved this! Kate with the guitar and flame burner! We used to have an allotment and used different tools. I have previously taken your recommendations for hand tools, also the sharpening tool. I keep my essentials in my little sit on cart (got two) with wheels, saves the bending when you get to a certain age! The sheds are full of tools etc..that we never use! I'm forever looking for some gloves for small planting / repotting..that fit and are lightweight and flexible so I can feel what I'm doing. I just can't seem to find any that fit, again I'm small handed like you. Eli are your gloves like that or more substantial? Thanks for a wonderful vlog. 😊🎸🔥

I still have tools that belonged to my dad and wouldn't part with them for the world but my hori hori is the most used tool. As for gloves I have dozens of pairs but my leather gauntlets are the best.

Fantastic video ....love your sense of humour & fun .... Its very true though .... if you have a garden ....you do tend to only use certain tools ..... How often do you clean /maintain your tools please ? 😊😊😊🌻🌻🐝🐝

I'm thinking about a cheap electric lawn scarifier to get rid of moss have you ever used one and could you do a review to stop blisters😊

Yay Telecaster, yay cats. Don't garden without them!

Can admit to getting a hori hori and....yeah.... it's a nice to have. A nice flat shovel/spade to remove a sod layer is great too if needed. Pitchfork and ho. 1 million tomato clips for 40 tomato plants. Oh and all of the seed starting supplies needed to start a small army. Other than that....I'm not sure... I'll have to watch to see if anything stands out.

It's fascinating seeing tools from other areas of the world! The thing you and Emma call just a "hoe" is a shape I've never seen before, and the shape I know as a hoe is more similar to Emma's "draw hoe", which is a term I've never heard before! The one I know is mostly used for chopping down through clods and truly stubborn weeds...although I don't have one myself. I don't actually buy tools until I have a specific need that I can't accomplish with what I already have. I'm definitely taking notes for things I might want in future, such as a hori hori, and now a flamethrower like Kate's! And a fork that's strong enough not to bend out of shape when I find an unexpected tree root has been on my wishlist forever. But so far I don't have any tools of my own that I don't use.

Still can’t find Kate with a guitar. Hedge trimmer, weed burner, even an edger but no guitar.

Great video, and it really made me laugh, especially Kate with the guitar!!! 😂 Now I'm probably gonna sound really thick here, but I've never quite understood how people use a hoe for weeding? Does it not just 'scrape' the top of the weed off, and leave the root intact?

I know I need a new shovel! I broke my favourite one the other day out in the garden while using it. The handle snapped in two and gouged my leg: I got a huge blood sample from the scratches and now lovely colours of black and blue are showing up. 😢😂😂

Ho’in ain’t easy. 😂

Love the T-shirt... Peter Capaldi best Dr of all 🌠

I got a hoe but don't think I ever used it. Also à couple of those claw things, also never used. Lawnmower? 2 one electric and one manual but no lawn anymore. My shed needs a serious declutter.

The guitar?

My shed's bigger than your shed!.....You should see the junk in it!

Better than Laurel and Hardy,you to. 😂😂😂
