Linseed oil – boiled or raw? Just that boiled isn't food safe so should be kept away from plants whereas raw is food safe so safe for use around plants.
Thank you! Informative and fun.
What are the brand of your tools?
Which type of oil do you use for your secateurs and garden tools please?
Great thanks! Have been wondering how to sharpen my secateurs… but the tool rack I think I’ll pass.
Hiya I’ve just subscribed. I like your upbeat tone! You didn’t do anything with your Dutch hoe- does that mean it doesn’t need sharpening? And I’d love some more on whetstone use. Thanks and keep up the good work!
The only gardening tool I have ever had is an old used gardening fork. It broke off the handle and is thin, bent, and rusty, but it is what I got.
Most of my current tools belonged to my deceased Grandparents and had been sitting in the shed rusting until recently when I took an interest in gardening.
After I removed the rust and sharpened them up they function like new and look quite nice.
I love your videos!! This is my 3rd year gardening and i am adding more veggies and i’m so excited (:
Your pallet to store tools is brilliant! Economical, effective, cheerful, and a great way to reuse a pallet.
This one is a favorite video. Informative and funny. Thank you
Dude you crack me up. I love your channel!
Thanks! Great video. I agree, tools are the key!!!
thanks!! I LOVE the pallet rack!!!!
I learned alot, thanks!
If you can get gun oil then your onto a winner, not only does it lubricate, it also stops rust, I won't get a wooden handle for a trowel anymore as I've broken two now and both times the woods split.
Informative as always, but hilarious as well, thank you. I enjoyed watching that.
I also have a pruning saw & shears
Great video and I definitely do not take care of my gardening tools so I'll be showing them some love & care. Thanks for the steps & tips and also for the laughs!
Dear Ben,
it's always fun to watch your videos.
Lots of useful information presented with a handful of humor… keep it up.
Peter.
Loved it thanks
You notice every splinter in bad tools with shoddy wooden handles. Gah!
Love the Trigger joke!
Just discovered your video's and find them very good. Everything makes sense and is explained clearly. I just love your dog popping in and out of your video's, so cute!
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
I worked at a nursery once and one of my jobs was to clean the tools. After the dirt was cleaned off I would work the tools up and down in 55 gallon drum filled with sand and used motor oil. It did a good job of cleaning and lubricating.
