My Favorite Garden Tool- Stirrup Hoe

In this video I share with you my favorite garden tool- the stirrup hoe. We use this tool so much that I ordered a second one and will probably buy a few more so everyone can have one to use at the same time.

It's end of July here in Zone 8b- North Central Florida and we are transitioning from the summer garden to prepping for the Fall garden so I show you how I clean up in between seasons with the stirrup hoe without having to till or dig up the soil. I also use wood chips to mulch the walkways in the garden. Hope you enjoy the video! If you do please be sure to give the video a thumbs up, leave me a comment and subscribe.

Thanks for watching!

Quick question: Do you struggle with mosquitoes? If so, how do you get rid of them?
I live in GA and mosquitoes are making my gardening life, miserable.

I had one of these and lost it in our move. Could not think of what to call it to find a new one. Where did you find it? Thank You!

Years ago I asked my dad how he keeps his garden looking so good. He got one of these tools out of his garage and showed me how to use it. I bought one for myself and have been using it ever since - definitely my favorite garden tool!❤️

Oh Wow Vanessa that is an awesome tool. I will be getting one of those. It’s hot and humid here in Tennessee too. Your garden looks great. A lot of work I know.

Funny, pretty sure it's end of July all over the world. My little one heard you say that and asked what it was somewhere else. Just had to share.

Love a stirrup hoe. My mom used to have a tool that was like a stirrup hoe but more like just a straight razor. Super sharp, had to be very careful but it made super quick work of weeds as well. Great tool!

I love my stirrup hoes...actually planning on using one today to tackle some weeds!

[tlfouhar]

I wonder if it would work on the hawkweed that is taking over my lawn?

[kctsp]

God, that's a lot of work especially here in Florida with this heat and humidity. Stay hydrated.

holy molly, what weather do you guys have in August? here in the Northwest we're just getting some hot summer temps...in the high 70's low 80's. I've also seen this tool called an 'Action Hoe'; it is super great when mid-spring weed seeds are starting to sprout.

[reneekeeling]
