Many thanks Bill & Val the winter is nearly upon us, very cold mornings and evenings. Take care keep warm regards from us both.
Hi and thank you for your very much needed and useful advice because I'm relatively new to gardening. As usual very nice, useful video and you have a calm and truly pleasant character. God bless.
Thanks Helen.. I have but out my last video for the season ( winter Greens ) Merry Christmas to you and yours regards from us both.
@@CastleHillGarden Have a truly Merry Christmas and a Happy and blessed New Year full of health and joy!!!
I don't know what it is, but it's enjoying and relaxing to watch you handle the old tools.
Glad you enjoy it Brian, some of the tools were given to me by a old garden, that had to give up due to old age. Take care regards Cliff.
I'm saving this video in my Castle Hill Garden File. I can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful skills you have taught me! Have some fabulous Holidays! Much Love.
Glad it was helpful DragonflyArtz, Its a job that needs doing before winter. Take care regards Cliff.
I think you are such a wonderful communicator and each time you have something to say I am struck by how it is always exactly what I want to know in that moment!. Your knowledge and experience make your videos essential viewing. Thank you!
You are so welcome Melissa, pleased to hear the videos are helpful. Thanks for watching regards Cliff

Beautiful old tools , well cared for . We have an saying when it comes to applying linseed oil the first time ...once a day for a week , once a week for a month , once a month for a year ! I refuse to buy new tools as manufacturing is terrible and they put out junk ! You sir are a treasure , thanks for sharing you knowledge !!
Great point garrey.. you are right about todays tools, some of mine I have had for 30years, some new shafts of course. Pleased you enjoyed the video regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden there is something so satisfying about using tools that have been maintained for so many years , the same feeling of catching fish on your on hand tied flies ! Thanks for the response , be safe sir !
Excellent advice! I know what I’ll be doing this week! Many thanks Cliff
You are welcome Linda, Its not a long job but good to get out of the way before winter sets in regards Cliff.
This is my first summer on my allotment ( its been three months of weeding mainly ) and your videos are so full of knowledge, im so grateful to have found your channel 💜
So nice of you jkhuntress, enjoy you allotment you cant beat home grown vegetables. Removing weeds is a mundane job, but you will be rewarded, next season regards Cliff.
Thank you for this video very clear and easy to follow I will have a go at shipping down my secatures now.
Glad it was helpful Valerie, you will find them much easier to use next season regards Cliff.
Another very nice video Cliff/ Diane, you have to take care of your tools…… keep them clean and sharpe and they’ll work better for you ! Thanks for sharing on how to achieve it…... Hope you dry out soon, keep well and safe and will hope to see you both on the next edition! 👍👍
Very true David, I am heartbroken when I break the shaft. Not much good wood about these days. Hopefully the land will dry out for Saturday, take care regards from us both.
This is wonderfully interesting love your videos
Thank you Indira, pleased you enjoyed the video regards Cliff.
Great to see you highlight the proper care of tools. I was able to save my Grandpa's garden tools from the bin and have used them more than my own. They cleaned up quite nicely after being neglected for so long. The pitchfork is a little dry but have stopped the decay somewhat with a dab of oil at the end of the Season. The rust and dirt was easily taken care of with a light sanding and a drop of oil.
I too have found much of the new garden equipment to be a little too compact. Which makes these "old" garden relics more valuable.
Pleased to hear you saved your Grandpa's tools Kris, and that you are using them. They should serve you many years and make gardening easier. Thanks for watching regards Cliff.
Hello Cliff how ru doing u are skillfull and at the same time u have so much patience to do all these things
Thank you for your wonderful advice
Glad it was helpful William, something to do when the gardens to wet to walk on regards Cliff.
@Castle Hill Garden it is. I have just purchased some second hand spade and forks. Much better quality than the new ones on the market and only around £25 each.
Thank you! Learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful d.Jill. thanks for watching regards Cliff.
Thank you. Very useful video…as all your videos are ☺️
Glad you like them Kathryn, nice to have you with us regards Cliff.
Thank you for this presentation, sir....I inherited several garden tools from my grandfather who emigrated from England at the turn of last century (1900). He was a gardener on several large estates in the Cotswold/Hereford area. The metal plate on the garden fork reads manufactured by C T Skelton, Sheffield, England. My mother was a fanatic about maintaining these tools and I'm now the happy gardener who gets to use them. I handle them with respect and channel my grandfather every time I use them
Wonderful story Crystal, I am so pleased you are using and looking after your Grandfathers tools, those old tools were made to last. Happy gardening take care regards Cliff.
Best lessons for all who have tools they want to keep for years! Thanks for sharing, 😊❤
Absolutely V nickcolvin.. It does pay to clean every season regards Cliff.
Hi Cliff and Diane, good advice keeping tools in good condition ready for the next season saves time and money. Thank you, take care.
Our pleasure lonegunwomen, It does help them last. Take care stay safe regards from us both.
Dear Cliff and Diane, just wanted to tell you that after putting off sorting and tying up my raspberries for literally years, your video about it which I watched recently was the inspiration for me to get motivated and do it (I'm in Australia). I'm looking forward to being able to pick them more easily this summer. Thanks so much. - I'm a big fan.
Pleased to hear you have sorted your raspberries Kerry, wishing you a good crop. Thanks for watching regards from us both.
@@CastleHillGarden I picked eight kilos last summer, and make a ton of raspberry jam. I usually give it away. I also make raspberry vinegar cordial from an old family recipe. It works with Kentish cherries (a sour cherry like your Morello), and - oddly enough - beetroot 😀
nice viideo cliff
Thanks Steven, another winter job out the way. It really is cooling down now regards Cliff.
Thank you for your advice, will do this to my tools this year. I prefer long shafts on my tools due to a bad back but my husband
buys longer ones from hardware shop and puts them on, makes it a lot easier on my back. Very wet here too underfoot making it hard to get anything done and I am behind. Another brilliant video, take care both of you x
Glad to help Tracy, I cant seem to find any long shafts with tee handles, wood seems to be short supply at the moment. Thanks for watching regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden Originally from Lancashire but moved to Ireland 10 years ago and they seem to have a lot more long handled tools over here for the farmers as still a lot done the "old way" where we are as very rural.
Little change of flavour but welcome!
Thanks Noah, a good job to get out of the way ready for winter regards Cliff.
Hi Cliff So happy you put this video up but I have a question. Can I use Danish oil instead of Linseed oil.? To oil the handles. I have a pair of Felco secetures and they are really not sharp as I have had them years. So I will have a go this weekend.
Yes you can Valerie, It might take a bit longer to dry regards Cliff.
Love this !!!
The fork at 7:27, which manufacturer could it be? maybe Sneeboer?
Best Regards, Jan
Hi DozeyDragoN the fork is a Spear and Jackson I have owned It for at least 40 years. It has triangle shaped tines and very strong, It has had quite a few shafts over the years, a good tool regards Cliff.
Really useful, my secateurs are a disgrace! I’ll put cleaning nearer the top of my list. I presume you use each pair of secateurs for a different purpose?? Which jobs do you use your number 7 to do?
Hi Jenny, I use number 7 for all heavy work the swivel handle makes cutting easier, no 2 for general work, although will do both jobs regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGarden Thankyou Cliff
Hi cliff one question why do you never use a rotavator??
Craig whitmore Warwickshire
Hi Craig, I do have a rotavator in the bottom shed, It doesn't dig as deep as I would like. So I prefer to hand dig regards Cliff.
Dear Cliff, It is always a challenge for me to find a proper sturdy fork. It bends all the time. Maybe you have an advise for me, a fork of what brand to acquire and where to go to get it?
Hi Peter the one I have used for the last 20 years is a Spear and Jackson. It has triangle shaped tines and made of mild steel. I have broken many shafts and replaced over the years. Enjoy your week regards Cliff.
@@CastleHillGardenHello Cliff, great, thank you very much. Have a great week, regards Peter
