Day 57: hori hori

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

I think I’m slightly terrified of my hori hori. There’s no doubting that it’s an effective and hugely versatile gardening tool, but...just look at the thing. It’s more hobbit sword than trowel, you can imagine the edges of the blade glowing with blue light, alerting you to the presence of an orc in the depths of the shrubbery. This afternoon I screwed my courage to the sticking place, unsheathed it, and got on with the job of winkling out the tangle of old compost and roots from the plant pots needed for potting up the first arrivals of this year’s houseplant cohort. The hori hori has no rival for this kind of thing, but I was glad to see it put safely away again.
