In horticulture, there are many different types of tools that a farmer may need. In this post, I'll go over a few tools that I encountered and worked with while working at the Howdy Farm. A soil knife, pictured first with the orange handle, is a great tool and was primarily used by Michael. It is useful in digging up and cutting roots and stems. My favorite memory of this tool is when Michael would ask someone to hand it to him and they would, usually by the blade. It was always funny seeing someone receive the quick lecture on safe handling of a knife. The second picture is the tool crate, which contains many different spades, rakes, gloves and other tools. Other tools that I gained experience using were weed eaters, shovels and a post rammer. Soil knife picture from https://www.amleo.com
