5 star review from a satisfied gardener

Brilliant Hori Hori
Delighted with my fantastic Hori Hori.  It’s strong and makes hand weeding tough plants like dandelion and creeping buttercup so much easier.  A lifetime of gardening and now one of my most favourite tools. 
My tip for your blog:
I sew or tie a loop of hi-viz reflective tape to my favourite tools.  If I put them down somewhere and can’t find them I can nip out after dark with a torch they’ll glow back at me.  Favourite tools are like old friends, we hate losing them.  I certainly don’t want to lose track of my Hori. 
best wishes
