Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Anyway I'll report back

Inital thoughts on the hori hori are;

• beefy (I tried to flex it and it didn't budge)
  
• finish is fine, I probably shouldn't have expected expert finishing for £40, but it's a bit rough in spots. Overall decent tho and the handle is less agricultural than my mums niwaki - although (possibly) interesting is that it's more comfortable to hold like a sword - almost like the design is aesthetically led and taken from a sword, rather than ergonomically based on how it will be used for digging.
  
• saw is much more saw-like than expected. Like you could actually saw with it out the box. I assume less so once it's filled with dried soil.
