  • The Japanese digging knife (hori hori) is one of the best gardening tools, acting as a garden trowel, digging tool, hoe, utility knife, saw, and more. Pair that with a soil block maker and you have yourself a winning combination of garden efficiency. Here are the 8 different ways that I use the hori hori when planting soil blocks.

      Best garden tool purchase I've ever made. I've also used it to cut twine and saw bamboo to length.

    Bought a hori hori a few years ago. It’s so useful I keep it on my belt.
    When people ask me what it is I just say, “gardening knife “ otherwise I get weird looks😂

    Do you use the smaller soil blocker too?? Im considering getting the kit from the gardener workshop.

    • @ReSprout
      @ReSprout  3 года назад

      I have the small one, but I never use it. It's SOOOOO tiny. I think it's meant only to keep the seedlings in for a very short time before potting up to the medium size. I'm just too lazy to do that! So I just start them in the medium sized one and plant a few extra blocks to allow for ones that don't germinate.

      @@ReSprout oh interesting, may I ask if you use the heat mats and lights with the soil blocker??

    • @ReSprout
      @ReSprout  3 года назад

      Oh yes! Definitely! The heat mats really make a difference for the heat loving crops like tomatoes and peppers and eggplant. I start my seeds in my cellar though where it is quite cool. You might be able to get away with no mats if they’re in a warm spot. The lights are a must-have. Just get some inexpensive shop lights from the home improvement store. You don’t even need special bulbs despite what everyone says.
