I'm so happy that I have my favorite garden tool back!
Here's the how-to video I referred to: • How to Change a Garden...
How to clean and sharpen your tools: • How to Get Your Garden...
My favorite tool: bit.ly/dixters...
(If sold out there, try here: bit.ly/dixterg...)
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.

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.

@777greglee 2 года назад

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

@karenh.7086 2 года назад

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

@TheImpatientGardener 2 года назад

There was a naughty word that didn’t get bleeped out.

@jucjuc314 2 года назад

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 🙋

@jmwoods1428 2 года назад

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

@laurieclarkson9180 2 года назад

"the expletive bleep was so funny because I can totally relate." SAME HERE! That's why I love watching MANY different garden channels because each creator is unique and I love them all for their different quirks and I thought "See, this is why I love Erin!" And I love Laura for other reasons but you'll never hear that on Garden Answer! Laura would say "Oh Rats" or "Doggone it" And I love both but in this circumstance, I relate more to Erin "Oh beeeeeep" LOL

@carriemartin9351 2 года назад

Same!!!! Makes me feel a lot better that my gardening exploits aren’t all sunshine and slow-motion daydreams - but often fraught with lessons learned, mud and expletives. But I love it all.

@ritagarretson7278 2 года назад

This is so what we all do...swear when the favorite tool breaks, fixing the new handle...plan A switch to plan, then it's fixed. Yes, I hammer like you. Thanks for all you do. Plus you made me laugh.

@kathrynmettelka7216 2 года назад

One day when I was 5 or 6, my father hit his thumb with a hammer twice. I think of it as vocabulary enrichment day.

@susann7 2 года назад

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!

@junoharpoon 2 года назад

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

@lindarose2244 2 года назад

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

@lizetterivera166 2 года назад

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!!

@anitahadley2871 2 года назад

Of course I want to see you fumble around. Heck, I don’t even own this tool but I’m here for you. Once you started hammering, it was like watching myself!

@bethheerten1132 2 года назад

I like seeing how many tools she can find to use.

@greenthumbelina7331 2 года назад

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

@betsymaltby6788 2 года назад

Impressive! A labor of love plus a new dibber! Now I have to check all of the handles on my tools (and sharpen them). :)

@nothingpersonal878 2 года назад

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 allllll over again. Good job Erin 👍👍👍 keeping it real 💕

@kathrynmettelka7216 2 года назад

Wonderful to see you taking care of your tools. I'm over 70, which meant that in public schools boys were required to take shop while girls took home economics. In retrospect, the stereotyping was awful, but we were too brainwashed to question it. Now I think all of us, regardless of gender, could have used some skills training.

@slomo1716 2 года назад

GREAT JOB Erin!!! I have a snow shovel and a round pointed shovel both with fiberglass handles that snapped. I ended up tossing both, I consider myself very creative and able to fix anything, but not worth my time struggling with fiberglass cheap cheap handles. The WOOD ones on the other hand are worth saving.

Cute tool but I'm struggling on what applications it has. IDK. Sitting or kneeling I guess.

@AttnDefDis_ 2 года назад

I'm super curious what the cost of a new tool versus the cost of just the handle was. Unless, I missed that somehow.

@TheImpatientGardener 2 года назад

A new tool is about 4-5 times more than the cost of the replacement handle.

DO NOT USE THIS TOOL FOR PRYING JOBS! That’s what LONG ash handle tools are for!

@TheImpatientGardener 2 года назад

I think I’ve proving that point. Actually it was worse than that, I was digging but got hooked under a root and instead of stopping and thinking about what was happening I just kept going. We cover how stupid that was in the original video when I broke it last year.
