Excellent video. I have handled my weed problem with a hoe for years. And kept weeds under control for the first 3 weeks. It was taking 2 1/2 hours a week of my time that I just did not have. This year I switched to a wheel hoe and that 2 1/2 hour a week job turned into a pleasureful 10 minutes. I do NOT have a weed problem any more! I LOVE the Hoss wheel hoe!! KUDOS!

Love your humor! Especially that purse lane comment. You are the man and I enjoy your videos immensely. I'll be buying some cultivators from you soon.

I have never seen some of these tools before, but they would definitely make gardening easier and more possible. Great!

Really good video and message. Simple, effective and permanent. No fancy expensive tools can replace the effectivity of someone willing to move his body and perform work with simplicity, regularity and ruggedness 👍

Hey! Really enjoyed watching your video. We're in the UK with a small plot to maintain and your comments really struck home. Thanks!

Thanks for this!

That is one beautiful sunflower plot in the background sir" awesome job"

Me and my boys went to Lake Chelan last week and I got home to end up in the ER. I have ulcers & gallstones. My tomatoes are just getting big and about to change color. My fear of food is real high right about now! I sure do wish I bought Hoss Tool seeds! Everything your videos have been tried and true for me so far! I have faith that they won’t tear my stomach up like you say

And here in the south that's just how it is... we sweat a lot! But everything he says in this video is spot on... tested by me. It's surprisingly easy to push those sweeps, and they do an excellent job. I just have the thin ones, and they work great for me, but I have very sandy soil, probably not the best for heaver soils that many of you have. I've got a bunch of mulch right now that's being a pain in the butt... I'm in the process of going back to grass... the mulch is just too much work to maintain. I'll say it again... fought weeds for years... light cultivation every week is the answer to most of your trouble... it just works!

Great video Travis. I'm pretty near yall in northwest FL. No kidding, folks. It is so, so hot and humid right now that you can't even check the mail without breaking out into a sweat! It must be thanks to yall, my tomatoes are still limping along pretty good. Still getting fruit everyday and have a lot of green on the vine and still producing some flowers. Love your channel!

Watching you talking about your grass made me realize just how green the grass is, given the heat one would expect everything to be near death as it is where I live

Channel looks helpful! Just subscribed.

Yep, we never got hungry enough to eat perslane either. Didn't matter if it was in the garden or a soybean field, it was a weed. This one tool, with a few extra attachments may make me stick with in-ground gardening and put off raised beds, especially since my sandy loam garden soil composition is very similar.

Great advice. Weed seed is the #1 source for weeds. Weedem' while their small! Do it before it needs it!

Great video. Bermuda grass creeping in is the worst. I'm ordering one of these wheel hoes tomorrow! I like grass pathways as well. Wood chips might work well in deserts and high elevation gardens, but in the deep south, where it's 100 degrees and raining every day in the summer, wood chips are a disaster, or at least have been for me. Wood chips don't suppress all weeds, they simply select for weeds with vigorous underground rhizomes like dollarweed and prickly sida. I made the mistake of adding 4 truckloads of wood chips to my garden a few years ago. It looked awesome for a few months and suppressed a lot of grass, but now there's just dollarweed everywhere and it's a huge mess. I'm probably going to switch to grass or sand pathways soon. Pinestraw pathways also seems like an interesting option in the deep south. Anyway great video, thanks for sharing, your garden looks awesome

the sunflowers look like an audience watching you while you film :)

Bermuda is my nemesis. I would never intentionally plant next to my garden because I would spend all my time trying to keep it out. We have been planting St augustine around the garden because it will kill out other weeds and is easier to manage its creep.

Centipede? Me too! Hope to see a vid on how to keep it looking it's best next to a garden.

Timely video. I'm fixin' to put my sweeps to work this afternoon. Are yall gonna bring back the harrow attachment? It seems to have been out of stock for good while, now. Thanks.

Perslane, it was the favorite vegetable of Gandhi. Perslane is the only land vegetable with as much dha and epa omgega 3 fatty acids as seaweed. I haven't got that hungry yet either.

I would love to see how you take care of the tools and how frequently you have to replace them.

Also a good way to get a little physical exercise

Hello, new subscriber. Have q blessed Sunday Night

Only one thing that you forget to do in your garden after weeding . And that is a good dance like Jason over at Cog hill farm. Good luck

I just bought a two-wheel wheel hoe and I love it. Quick question: what spacing between rows do you use for (a) southern peas (b) mustard greens. Thanks.

I've added wood chips for mulch and it draws the nitrogen out of the soil and you'll end up with blossom end rot

What would you recommend on creating a new plot? Would these tactics work? Or do you use a tiller?

Hey Travis, I have a question about your silage tarps. Do you guys make custom sizes? My garden is 26’x56’.

Lol. “I ain’t quite that hungry yet” .. purslane actually tastes good, grows like a weed too, Lol, Cheers

Enjoyed the video. If an old lady can only have one or the other which tool do you suggest the new sweeps or the 8 or 12 inch Oscillating attachment ? By the way, I love my wheel hoe. I’ve had it for years and it’s still going strong!

Would you say that this tool would equate to the push pull hoe to do the job?...not the stirrup hoe I mean. Thanks

👍

How do I start a plot? I’ve tried different methods, but I can’t seem to get it right. If I’m starting from pasture with Bermuda grass, clovers, weeds galore, and some other grass that has rhizome roots, do I start by tilling, discing, or maybe scraping all the grass off with the bucket on my tractor? I checked for a video, but didn’t see one.

What’s the best overall for weed control…the sweeps or the 8”/12” cultivator??

Hey do you guys know if it hurts to cut off long sweet potato vines that grow way out of my raised beds.

Do you not have the cultivators or discs like a tractor anymore for the wheel hoe? Those seemed like they would be the ticket! The new sweeps seem to be an easier option now for sure.

I’d like to grow stuff openly on my property like you but I can’t because of rabbits and gophers. How do you keep them away. You garden is beautiful.

Where can I get this tools? Please help me. I want to purchase them.

This doesn’t dry out the topsoil?

What do you do with the NUT Grass .

I tried to call you today, I have a question what fertilizer do I use to plant okra, and corn. My okra that I planted ,the seed weren't any good so I'm planting it again.

I loved the video!!! You should have more subzs!!! Just subscribed to your channel!!!! Here to support!!!!

you know sir what would be incredible is stone for those 10 foot pathways and i mean like fitted land scape stone even colors you can get them it would mabey even be possible two add morter for the pavers or big brick...it would be even respectfully really really nice like an old cobble stone paved road like the old roads in in boston ware they used rocks good sir rocks but all go two gather like a beautiful cobble stone pathway,,,, awwwwwww ofr an idea food for thought.. just a silly idea.. yes sir even grass like you got looks amazing respectfully

Whatever happened to Travis he’s not on any of the new videos

Wood chips also promote termites. Now a big glass of ice tea, you look like you might have broke a little sweat 😓

Ref: The Wood chips? Have ALSO heard that wood chips are BAD about having TERMITES!!

It is too expensive

I understand that the tool helps to keep the weed pressure down by running through the soil every week or so but that doesn't help the potential buyer understand the amount of energy it will require to do the initial sweep(s) to remove the grass to get that border for the garden. Running it through an area with barely any weeds is like the commercials about shavers for women showing the blades being used on a hairless leg!

Northerners are like man you worked 10 min and got all sweaty, they won’t get it lol!

wasted 12mins thanks
