Raaya, 50 Ft, Expandable Hose

I live in an apartment complex upstairs but but occasionally I need a to use a hose. We have a spigot downstairs, but I really haven't wanted to purchase a bulky hose. This Raaya, 50 Ft, Expandable Hose seemed like perfect for my use. So far it is working nicely. This hose expands to 50 ft when it is fully stretched out. Each end end has brass fittings. It comes with a with a nozzle with 8 different settings. It works okay, but nothing special. The sprayer quality is average as well. Price point is high for the product in my opinion. For the price I'd probably just get a smaller regular hose that I know will hold up. I received this item in exchange for my honest review

Hori Hori Garden Knife

I had the pleasure of trying out this Hori Hori Gardening Knife. I honestly thought the name Hori Hori was something made up until I googled it.  I was excited to try it out.  I love to garden but because I live in an apartment complex on the second floor my gardening is limited.  I have been missing my gardening so this year I decided to buy a few more plants than I usually do to try and make our patio are more comfortable.  I didn't have any tools so i was basically using small cups and my hand to dig in the soil.  I thought I would get a small shovel when I got a chance.  I was offered this Hori Hori Garden Knife to review and I thought this would work perfect for me.  It is a shovel, saw and knife all built in one with a nice leather case that can be attached to a belt. The handle is wood. This is perfect for planting small plants, trimming small branches. The shovel has a ruler on it so you can measure depths that you are placing bulbs or plants in. The knife if pretty sharp, and it also came with a sharpening stone so you can keep it nice and sharp.  Also included was a little razor cutter that would be good for opening envelopes or cutting other paper.  I think this would make a great gift for any gardener.  It could also be used by hunters and fishermen. I was surprised how nice this product is. I received this item in exchange for my honest review.
