Hello Anne, George here. Something I learned as a kid and still do, sand the varnish off of tool handles. Varnished handles will cause blisters. I use two parts linseed oil and one part turpentine on my handles instead. The wood lasts way longer and develops a springy-ness over the years. The linseed oil rubs in and does not pull at my skin while I am working hard with the tool. I hope this tip is helpful to you or one of your nice subscribers. Smiling, George.
"because chickens suck" As someone who has about 30-40 chickens at any given time of the year on my farm, I can absolutely attest to that statement. Working on my mobile coop right now! Will have to watch that video for some ideas. Thanks for making great content!
The previous owner of my little farm left some tools behind. I didn't know what one of them was until I saw this video - now I know its a broadfork. Thank you, Anne!
What a great find! They cost around $200 and up for a good one. I’m still hoping to get one someday. Social Security doesn’t quite go far enough when you have a small farm. I’m raising chickens and pigs to help supplement my future income, but they’re not there yet, waiting for the pigs to farrow.
As you probably know, those propane flame weeders also work well for doing shoshugibon preservation on wood (raised beds, siding, etc). Wow, I am in love with the tall transplant tool! Thank you.
Hello All Anne! Your first item led me to a nearly two hour virtual chase which ended locally at Harbor Freight and the 43 in. Garden Fork with D-Handle. I did my due diligence research and this is the thing I need. And I hope that I NEVER have to use it. But, as you know the SHTF scenario is upon us so I'm getting one as insurance. In the meantime, and while there is gas I have my trusty Honda powered rear tine tiller. However.... I must say THANKEE for getting my humble self in gear. A garden spade of any kind just never occurred to me, even as I knew that I should have *something* in reserve. In the meantime I looked at everything I could find about your two handle gizmonic and various others to include forked spades which brought me to the one I'll purchase tomorrow for $21. It fits my real world loamy clay spring weedy situation perfectly, and for a price that makes sense. Not looking forward to ever having to seriously use it though. And your ingenious jet powered weenie roaster.... So happens that I have one. It has dealt death and destruction to my back yard fence weeds a couple of times when it just got totally absurd! Massively useful (if gas hoggy) instrument....and the guttural roar it makes will thrill any real boy's ears and heart. Make 'em think about joining the air force! baroooomwhoooosh!!! Sincerely your bestest fan in Alabam, Norm
When using the torch for weed control you can save a lot of propane by just cooking the weed instead of burning it, just a touch with the flame is usually enough and also reduces the risk of fires.
I'd add in a subcompact recip saw. My 78yr young mom borrows my makita when she wants to trim her custard apple and sour sop trees or cut out tree roots. I reach for it too when a lopper wont work and i dont exactly need to use a gas chainsaw. Also useful for fencing and trellising.
I wholeheartedly agree, I use one as well for unwieldy fireplace logs and free pallets. It is wonderful, as is my battery powered chainsaw! Get the same brand so the batteries work for both….

Thank you Anne for the farm hack video. Zip ties are the new baling wire and duct tape the new chewing gum. Love your videos and your enthusiasm. Have a great week ahead.
Adam asked me why I didn’t have “tractor” on the list. I was like “I farmed for six years without one, and most people won’t have enough space to warrant one!”
everyone needs a hoe in their home, mine gets frequent use in the winter, mainly scraping snow and ice. (most of it off the tractor implements) But the number One hack every homestead needs is a Anne of all trades.
I totally thought the pooper scooper one was going to be "dogs" haha yes not bending over for poop is useful, but....dogs! Also...pro tip for zip ties and fencing (such as garden fencing, not where you have fence slamming livestock)..... I have a wire perimeter fence, and when a tree falls on the fence, zip tied areas take WAY less damage because the zip ties just pop off....T-posts are all still standing and maybe 10' of fencing is bent but salvageable. Where fencing is held up by metal clips, it pulls a much longer section down, posts included. I use metal zip ties at joints but 5+ plastic zip ties on regular areas. I use neon ones so I can see them easier when checking if any are broken
Still working on my soil to get it from compacted, hard pan clay to luscious, soft terra preta. 2 years into it and it’s getting better, but not yet soft enough for that planting tool. At age 67, it would sure save me some backaches.
I read your blog for this and thought it was really helpful so I wasn’t going to watch the video but my goodness am I glad I did! That propane torch bit had me laughing a lot 😂 your content is second to none Anne!
8:03 Got the feed room looking like an ancient Aztec tomb with all those spiderwebs I grew up on a ranch and our tack room looked just about the same, though, so I can't really talk. Great video!
The Speed Planter!!! Wow... takes me back to riding on the back of a tractor and and placing strawberry starts into the planter wheel and watching them go into the soil. Not as cool looking as your speed planter, but just as effective... if you have three people - the tractor driver and two people to load the strawberry starts.

I think that seed planter is brilliant the only thing is the tray puts your back in an awkward position. If the try was narrower and really wide you wouldnt have to hold it so far out in front of you.
I'm pretty sure that clip was from 8 years ago... future iterations were much more ergonomic, but dang it if that wasn't a brilliant solution on the fly.
The closest I've ever come to "farming" was when I owned a few chickens for a while. They were partly for the eggs but mostly as pets. I found them really cute and enjoyable, so I'm wondering why an animal lover like you doesn't like them. Great video (even though I'm not a farmer/homesteader).
Chickens are fantastic to have as assets to provide eggs, to recycle food and garden scraps, and they're fun to watch, especially if you only have a few that you socialize and keep as pets, but they aren't super smart, keeping them safe is a bit of a chore, and their poop is honestly one of the grossest things I've come across in 8 years of farming. I like what they do *for* me, and when I had only a few of them, I really did love them. But as I've gotten other animals, I've realized how much more engaging and rewarding it is to work with animals that provide a little more feedback and a little less... scorched earth.
A hack I've given to others is your forwarded videos. If you like a caramelized marshmallows instead of a sweet carbon briquette, try a heat gun. I keep one in the kitchen for focused browning and many other uses. My tool collection also lost an IR thermometer and propane torch to the kitchen. Fortunately I have several. Dang. Now I have to go build a harvest basket for a friend.
Wonderful American Ingenuity at its finest(scratching my head) and wondering how many of these items I can buy/find here in France...cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
I don't know how close you are to a coffee shop, but talk to them about taking their coffee grounds. Mix them into that woody compost you've got and they'll break down very quickly. I did this to get rid of some "beauty bark" in a planter bed - by spring, I had thick, rich, soil teeming with worms.
"city folk proof". As a New Yorker ( actually a Long Islander. So suburban folk. It's probably suburban folk proof too ) I resemble that remark. Growing up in Levittown NY in the '60's and'70's we were able to buy produce from a few farms that stuck it out despite suburban sprawl. Most are gone now but eastern Long Island has seen a farming renaissance with "heirloom produce" and vineyards.
5:46 - Planter demo - just the gizmo I need! Would you please post a link so I can get one? My online search has yielded nothing like your planter. Thanks, Anne. Am really enjoying all your adventures!

Where can I buy this hose I really, really need one at 85 my wrist hurt using my current regular hose it kinks and twists. Until I saw yours in this video, I thought I'd give expandable hoses another try. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you, Rae
As a warning, they don’t have a super long life unless you’re really careful with them, but for me, it’s worth it to buy more when they break because it’s they are so valuable with regard to ease and reducing labor and frustration with chores. Especially when it comes to my need for 100 ft hoses. But here’s a link to the ones I use: a.co/d/1rzGylQ
@@AnneofAllTrades Thank you for getting back to me so fast. Is the one you have is GUKOK BRAND? Amazon had the 50ft. which is what I need. If this doesn't work for me, do you trust this brand to buy their non-expandable hose? Thank you again, Rae
If you don't have a lot of poop to deal with, a kiddy leaf rake to use as a scoop to pick up poop to put in bag or toss under a bush. Use underhand or side toss, don't toss overhand.
Please double check. I think you may have linked the wrong long handled bulb planter. Yours has two hand triggers. The link shows only one. Prices vary widely too. I am nearly 70, very interested and hope my kids will buy me one for Christmas. Thank you.
What brand of hose is shown here? Hose shopping for 1/3 acre property and was looking at contractor hoses - very heavy!! Would love a lightweight hose that lasts more than 1 year!
@@AnneofAllTrades it's the red/green tool as part of a multi-tool assortment. Extension tool is needed tonattachbtge tool. I've had this system for about 10 years...love it. WOLF-Garten ....Many nurseries here in the US carry it as well.
The "broad fork" is not the easiest way to break up hard soil. It is much easier to keep the soil covered with mulch or crops and the soil will never be hard again.

We call them townies and I wish we had that gate when I was a kid. I like the planter but I would rather just run the rototiller instead of use that big ass fork.
I built your chicken coop and love the idea of an automatic door... unfortunately the vertical sliding doors often have too large of a footprint for the install locations on the coop. Where can I find that swinging door that you have on your coop?
You did? That’s so awesome! My best friend made a video about how she made hers: ruclips.net/video/AtyjuXjMJjI/видео.html But I was lazy and bought mine 😂 chickendoors.com/product/right-small-pullet-shut-door/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0Y_JmOy49AIVA5-GCh3mCwlfEAQYAiABEgLXLfD_BwE
@@AnneofAllTrades I'm actually in the process of building a mechanism to open and close the trailer gate. I've installed gas traction springs and I'm about to add the limit switches and Arduino. I'll share pictures.
It’s going great! I’m really behind on my videos about it but I’ve got it running really well. Few more mechanical tweaks then the fun stuff, interior and exterior can start!

That's a great point! Less dramatic on video though ;)
That would take away all the fun of burning those hated weeds. I say let em burn!
Yep, after a light rain is a great time also.
Isn't the goal to boil the water in the plant so that the cell walls burst?

The broad fork is a great idea but the ground around here is so hard you can’t stab it into the soil to begin with.

Oh the basket came to me as a completed item. But I’ve seen lots of folks using enamel coated rabbit wire.
3:31 😂 true
The "broad fork" is not the easiest way to break up hard soil. It is much easier to keep the soil covered with mulch or crops and the soil will never be hard again.
That’s true, but you gotta soften it up in the first place, otherwise you’ve gotta wait a loooooong time for it to soften up on its own ;)

ha , Werner Hertzog i just heard also hates Chickens . There's a sneaky Racoon watching tutorial on how to get in that robo coop =)
That torch looks more like a weapon than a tool.
We call them townies and I wish we had that gate when I was a kid. I like the planter but I would rather just run the rototiller instead of use that big ass fork.
What is the thing holding up the seeding tray?
Hahaha it’s a construction safety harness with some modifications
May I ask the name brand of your jeans you have on in the video?
They’re Dovetail workwear. ANNE15 at checkout will get you a discount!
I built your chicken coop and love the idea of an automatic door... unfortunately the vertical sliding doors often have too large of a footprint for the install locations on the coop. Where can I find that swinging door that you have on your coop?
You did? That’s so awesome! My best friend made a video about how she made hers: ruclips.net/video/AtyjuXjMJjI/видео.html
But I was lazy and bought mine 😂 chickendoors.com/product/right-small-pullet-shut-door/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0Y_JmOy49AIVA5-GCh3mCwlfEAQYAiABEgLXLfD_BwE
@@AnneofAllTrades I'm actually in the process of building a mechanism to open and close the trailer gate. I've installed gas traction springs and I'm about to add the limit switches and Arduino. I'll share pictures.
That ground breaker? Not the 'soil' in our yard. It is gravel hundreds of feet deep.
Whatever that is, it looks cooooooool 🤣
Hilarious, love the presentation and the tools, queen.
Thank you!
I couldn't help noticing it. How's the truck project going?
It’s going great! I’m really behind on my videos about it but I’ve got it running really well. Few more mechanical tweaks then the fun stuff, interior and exterior can start!
👍 👍 👍
Every gardener needs a good hoe🤔🤔🤔 not just a gardener my dear, not just a gardener🤷🏻♀️
On a serious side, very informative today, good tip regarding the compost👍🏻
Coolest gal on the internet right here
Got the zip ties, but that's it. LOL
One more addition: duct tape.
Dang it, you're right! I'll start compiling a list for a follow up video! ;)
