Fixing my favorite garden tool 🌿 🛠︎

I'm so happy that I have my favorite garden tool back!

I got the replacement handle from Garden Tool Company, where I originally ordered the spade from.

My name is Erin and I love sharing inspiration and information with real-life gardeners. I live and garden in southeastern Wisconsin, zone 5b.

Nice you "got a handle on it!" 😉☺️

I have to admit, I couldn't wait to see 'THE' footage again, because it was just so funny I couldn't stop laughing at the first time 🤭😄 I felt sorry for the tool and for you though! Happy to see it is healthy again 😊 Greetings, Judit 🙋

I love your ability to laugh at yourself. We all take ourselves far too seriously but you’ve got a great sense of humour.

I have a confession to make, it would have been great to see the original take.

[karolgordon]

Erin, thank you for sharing the real world of gardening! I love all your videos and your way of showing us more than just the fun parts of gardening.

A girl and her tools! Love it. Reduce, reuse & recycle, great job. I would have done the same thing. Erin you are a rock star. 🤩

You can't have a Hobby without favorite tools! I love gardening tools & gadget's!

[junoharpoon]

One of my biggest pet peeves is crappy gardening tools that break easily. Yay for fixing your favourite tool!

[judymckerrow]

A butcher a baker a candle stick maker, that’s what Erin is.❄️💚🙃

So very relatable! I chuckle every time I see this clip - of course not at your misfortune but how very real your reaction is and one that I've had too many times to count! Thanks for showing us the fix - appreciate it & your videos!!

I would pay to hear the unedited version 0:28!! Nice job at fixing it Erin!

[tammyhoushour]

Well ain't you something 😉 so happy you get to have your favourite tool back. I felt so bad for you when you broke it.

[greenthumbelina]

Yep, I'd save that handle too! I'm sure you'll find another use for it in the future. I remember the video when the handle broke, and I probably uttered the same expletive as you did when it happened.🤣~Margie

It works every time! If my day is gloomy I watch your video

[lindarose]

You’re actually not “impatient.” I would have tossed it after I broke it. 😆 Good job!

[bellison]

Turn it into a muddler! Sand it smooth and muddle that mint for a delicious mojito👏🏼

[susann]

I remember the incident vividly! I have a very similar tool & it is my garden workhorse. I actually started treating mine a *bit* more carefully after seeing yours snap. I’m guilty to using it as a lever for those stubborn roots & clay! Good to know it can be repaired!

[nothingpersonal]

Omg 😆 I laughed so hard when you broke your favourite tool, and only because I can so relate. F-bombs included😆 But I just laughed over again. Good job Erin 👍👍👍 keeping it real 💕

[maryweyer]

You are too much girl! Your strength is keeping it real. As always, love all your posts and videos. 🌿♥️

What a good belly laugh, the expletive bleep was so funny because I can totally relate. This is a great video, I didn't know how to change handles that are attached with the hammered end. Thank you
