Hori Hori: Best Garden Tool I Have/BEST GARDENER GIFT May 7, 2005

WEEDS SCREAM AND RUN when they see me coming with the hori hori. (Note that I don't know whether one hori hori brand is any better than another. It's the tool itself that's so great.)
If I could, I'd get one for each of my gardener friends. Sometimes I might need a spade or pruners or shovel, but overall, the hori hori is often the only tool I take outside to plant and weed.
Solid, unbending steel helps pry out deep weeds or dig a hole even in packed clay or gravel. The serrated edge is great for butterflying root-bound plants. And the centimeter markings helps me properly place seedlings and bulbs.
One thing I'd recommend that's been really helpful for me is to paint the handle with fluorescent paint AND tie some long (15-20") fluorescent plastic tape through the hole so that you don't lose it in the dirt; there'll always be some pink or orange ribbon sticking out even if you bury the hori-hori by mistake.
I've buried my hori hori twice. Once I actually called the local metal detector club to help me find it (it was within plain view of my back door for 4 months). The other time, I just ran out and bought a new one.
I've never damaged the blade on one of these. I killed the wood handle by leaving it buried for 10 months in soggy Seattle, but I still use the blade alone.
ANOTHER GARDEN TOOL RECOMMENDATION: Get a Circle Hoe.

You open the gift box. Yes! it's just what you wanted! You drop the wrapping paper, leave the wine glass, and the astonished friends, you zoom out to the garden even though it's perfectly dark by now, and you find that dandelion illuminated by the front door's light. You heft the hori hori in your hand. You are a warrior. You are invincible. The enemy will die. This sturdy, hefty tool feels great in the palm of your hand. It easily slides into the soil alongside the offending dandy. A little pressure, and pop! the root, the leaves, the whole rosette of the heinous green Medusa is air born like a cork out of a bottle. You think yes! finally! the war is over, I am The Gardener.
Brilliant! June 25, 2009

I've had it only twelve hours and wonder how I ever got along in the garden without it. What a wonderful tool! I have already used it as a trowel for planting; the blade made short work of an interfering tree root. I loosened weed roots in a flower bed for easy removal without disturbing a lot of soil, and pried weeds from the cracks in the sidewalk. Edging along the front walk was a breeze. I like it that there is a hole in the handle for easy hanging, too.

I'm a master gardener and like a garden without weeds. This is the tool for weeding, cutting flowers, deadheading, and cutting down masses of flowers in the fall. You can also dig with it very well. I like to only carry one tool and this is it. It is VERY sharp when new. It is well worth the money. I've given them for gifts and always keep at least two. (one for my man.....)
