$33.80$23.39Buy on AmazonGrowJourney Note: We’ve used a lot of garden tools over the years, and Corona is our favorite brand. They keep working, don’t break, and last forever. We’ve replaced countless “cheap” pruners over the same time period that we’ve had our Corona pruners. These pruners cuts up to 1″ branches. Radial Arc bypass blade and slant-ground hook made of fully-treated, forged Coronium steel alloy, and the blade is easy to resharpen (we recommend this tool) and replaceable. If you are using your pruners in conditions where they might easily rust (we've never had a problem with ours in the southeast), Corona also makes a stainless steel option.

GrowJourney Note: Of all the tools we use in no-till organic gardening, our Corona spade (CT 3224) probably gets the best workout.

Whether you’re moving plants around, digging up root harvests or transplanting seedlings, a well-made, long-lasting spade is an essential tool. Features a stainless steel head, no-slip handle, root cutter & bag ripper included, and gradated depth markings on the head.

GrowJourney Note: Agribon is basically magic in fabric form. You wouldn’t want to use it in your front yard since it’s not very pretty (maybe as a Halloween decoration), but if your backyard beds need an insect blocker, frost protection, or you want to extend your growing season, it works wonders. And, yes, it does allow sun and rain in, while blocking bugs and trapping heat. Perfect if you’re covering multiple beds or larger areas. This is the lightest weight Agribon fabric (ultra-light, 0.55oz./sq.yd.). It provides up to 4° F frost protection & 85% Light Transmission
Variations: 83″x25′ (shown) // 83″x50′ // 83″x100′ // 10’x25′ (also comes in 50' & 100' at same link)
Use with: Super Hoops. The 10' x 25′ can be used with either Super Hoops or the taller Hi-Rise Super Hoops

GrowJourney Note: These are the irrigation timers we use in our gardens. They're battery-operated and very easy to set up. Control dials allow you to: 1) set frequency; 2) set run time; 3) override scheduled program for rain delay (24 to 72 hours) or add timed manual watering without disrupting your programmed schedule. Pro tip: Remove and store your timers when temps drop below freezing to prevent damage from expanding water molecules (and remove batteries prior to storage).

GrowJourney Note: We LOVE these little sprinklers! We broke so many plastic sprinklers, that we refuse to ever buy them again. These 100% metal sprinklers are virtually indestructible (there are no moving parts), and do a great job of spot irrigating smaller spaces/beds & larger areas (up to 900 sq. ft.) where you don’t have drip lines. Ideal for small areas, low water pressure areas and fast, accurate coverage.

GrowJourney Note: We’ve been using one of these for years for our duck’s water & for our yard, and we absolutely love it! Chlorine, which is in all tap water, has a toxic effect on good soil microbes and your (or your poultry’s) microbiome. This filter removes 85% of chlorine, promoting healthy plant nutrition and growth by returning the natural balance to your soil, compost, or mulch. This can also enhance the effectiveness of the non-chemical pest control methods by protecting ladybugs, lacewings, and beneficial nematodes. Filters 20,000 – 40,000 gallons of water and does not decrease water pressure, capable of 2.6GPM. Prevents hose wear with a specially designed, shock absorbing hose saver.

$28.55$24.99Buy on AmazonGrowJourney Note: We've been using Flexzilla drinking-safe hoses in our gardens for over a decade. As their name implies, they don't put all sorts of contaminants into your soil and onto your plants like standard water hoses do. Also, they're super durable, lasting years longer than other water hoses, and they don't kink under pressure. So these hoses are a great investment for both contamination reduction and functionality.

Tools & Supplies: Pruning & Cutting
Whether you’re pruning or harvesting, these quality tools can help make the job easier.
GrowJourney Note: We’ve used a lot of garden tools over the years, and Corona is our favorite brand. They keep working, don’t break, and last forever. We’ve replaced countless “cheap” pruners over the same time period that we’ve had our Corona pruners. These pruners cuts up to 1″ branches. Radial Arc bypass blade and slant-ground hook made of fully-treated, forged Coronium steel alloy, and the blade is easy to resharpen (we recommend this tool) and replaceable. If you are using your pruners in conditions where they might easily rust (we've never had a problem with ours in the southeast), Corona also makes a stainless steel option.
GrowJourney Note: We really like the pointed nose on our Corona snips (AG 4390) for certain applications, like when we’re reaching our hand into a dense plant to cut off a tomato or veggie. Pruners are great for trimming plants, snips are great for harvesting. These are fully tempered steel, but if you’ll be using your snips in applications that can rust the blade, you’ll want to get Corona’s stainless steel snips instead. The blades are re-sharpenable (we recommend this tool), PTFE-coated high-carbon steel by-pass blade.
GrowJourney Note: We’ve been shocked by how often we use our Corona (RS 7265D) pruning saw – and how easy and clean it cuts. Due to its unique tooth design, it cuts 2x faster than a regular saw and can get into tight spaces where a larger saw won’t fit. Awesome for pruning large fruit & nut tree branches or other woody garden plants. Each whetstone-ground razor tooth is sharpened with 3 angles for a blade that cuts twice as fast & 3X more material vs conventional saws. The saw's SK5 steel blade (high carbon = harder steel & sharper longer) is also chrome-plated reduce friction & increase efficiency.
GrowJourney Note: These sturdy Corona 32" loppers (FL 3460) are a must-have item for us. They really come in handy when it’s time to prune fruit & nut trees, clean out dense underbrush, or remove thick-stalked plants between seasons. Cuts up to 1-1/2″. It features 24-inch fiberglass handles w/ XL 12-inch non-slip foam grips and has a compound action with 4-bar compound linkage triples cutting power. Re-sharpenable (we recommend this tool), PTFE-coated high-carbon steel by-pass blade.
GrowJourney Note: Got branches you need to saw or clip way up in a tree? No, you don’t have to go grab a ladder and hand saw. Grab this Corona (TP 7860) extendable pruner instead (extends out 14′) – use the saw for thicker branches and the clipper with hand rope for smaller branches. The 14-foot compound action tree pruner with heavy-duty zinc alloy pruning head & non-stick tempered steel blade cuts up to 1-1/4″. It's an ideal pruner for heavy-duty orchard & tree pruning.
GrowJourney Note: Your tools are only as good as they are sharp – this little Corona sharpening (AC 8300) device, made of carbide, will help keep them as good as the day you bought them. Simple to use, will last a lifetime. The sharpener itself is a 5-Inch super carbide file and are ideal for sharpening all straight blades (excludes saw blades).
Tools & Supplies: Digging, Planting, and Raking
We recommend no-till organic growing methods that minimize soil disturbance. However, sometimes even no-till gardeners have to get under the soil while planting, sowing, and harvesting. These tools will help!
GrowJourney Note: Of all the tools we use in no-till organic gardening, our Corona spade (CT 3224) probably gets the best workout. We love this particular one for the root cutter (the serrated teeth on the edge of the spade). Whether you’re moving plants around, digging up root harvests or transplanting seedlings, a well-made, long-lasting spade is an essential tool. Features a stainless steel head, no-slip handle, root cutter & bag ripper included, and gradated depth markings on the head.
GrowJourney Note: We don’t often need a hoe or a cultivator, but when we do, it’s nice to have a 2-in-1 tool like this one by Corona (CT 3244 ). Great for pulling back mulch, breaking up a spot with dense soil, and many other applications. Featuring a stainless steel head & no-slip handle, this is a 2-in-1 tool: three prong cultivator & hoe blade
GrowJourney Note: The DeWit Heart-Shaped Double Hoe is a great size for getting into confined spaces in your beds or in between plantings. Ideal for digging, weeding, cultivating, and aerating. The heart shape digs while the hoe cultivates and moves soil. Both are made from high quality Carbon Steel. The FSC-Certified European Ash hardwood handle is strong but lightweight, and also has elasticity so the tool can bend without breaking. Handle and heads are interchangeable with other eye hoes and eye rakes from DeWit. All DeWit products have a lifetime guarantee. Great for planting bulbs, seeds, and seedlings. Dimensions: 16″L x 3″W x 9″H; 1.5 lbs
GrowJourney Note: Aggressive, sharp, and strong, this “heirloom” cultivator is great for removing unwanted debris, weeding, and soil aeration in your beds or garden. DeWit tools are a 4th generation family-owned company and their tools are guaranteed to last a lifetime. The teeth are made from high quality Swedish Boron Steel and the FSC-Certified European Ash hardwood handle is strong but lightweight, and also has elasticity so the tool can bend without breaking. It's the perfect tool for cultivating tough soil and for quick aerating jobs. Dimensions: 3.5″L x 3.5″W; Total: 11″L; 0.5 lbs
GrowJourney Note: More than a tool, it’s an “heirloom” that will last for generations! Touted as the best designed trowel on the market (a good trowel is a must-have for every gardener). Hand-forged Swedish boron steel head will hold a sharp edge; Heavy duty and durable – neither the tip nor neck will bend. Strong yet lightweight with unrivaled Dutch-made quality; all DeWit products have a lifetime guarantee. The FSC-Certified European Ash hardwood handle is strong but lightweight, and also has elasticity so the tool can bend without breaking. Use it for planting, digging, aerating, cultivating, and weeding. Dimensions: 12″L x 1.5″W x 3.5″H; 0.5lbs
GrowJourney Note: We plant a LOT of bulbs (garlic, shallots, daffodils, etc.) and allium sets, so a dibber is a huge time-saver for us. Simply push the pointed end into the soil to the desired depth, drop a seed, seedling, or bulb in the hole, then cover. The dibbler is made from high quality Swedish boron steel. The FSC-Certified European Ash hardwood handle is strong but lightweight, and also has elasticity so the tool can bend without breaking. DeWit tools are a 4th generation family-owned company and their tools are guaranteed to last a lifetime. Great for planting bulbs, seeds, and seedlings. Dimensions: 16″ L x 1″ W x 1.5″ H; 0.5 lbs
Tools & Supplies: Season Extension
Many gardeners grow food year round. In moderate-cooler climates, growing through the cold months requires season extension supplies. Here’s a selection of the best!
GrowJourney Note: Agribon is basically magic in fabric form. You wouldn’t want to use it in your front yard since it’s not very pretty (maybe as a Halloween decoration), but if your backyard beds need an insect blocker, frost protection, or you want to extend your growing season, it works wonders. And, yes, it does allow sun and rain in, while blocking bugs and trapping heat. Perfect if you’re covering multiple beds or larger areas. This is the lightest weight Agribon fabric (ultra-light, 0.55oz./sq.yd.). It provides up to 4° F frost protection & 85% Light Transmission
Variations: 83″x25′ (shown) // 83″x50′ // 83″x100′ // 10’x25′ (also comes in 50' & 100' at same link)
Use with: Super Hoops. The 10' x 25′ can be used with either Super Hoops or the taller Hi-Rise Super Hoops
GrowJourney Note: Same great Agribon fabric, but this one provides mid-level frost protection and sunlight penetration. Provides a mid level amount of frost protection, up to 6-8ºF, while allowing 50% sunlight through. Dimensions: 83" x 50"
GrowJourney Note: Super Hoops are made from two heavy-gauge wires joined by cross braces, they’re easier to install than single hoops (no flopping!) and they support fabric, bird net and shade net better, too. They’re ideally suited for 3′ wide raised beds. They may also be used in 4′ wide beds as well as in-ground beds; for these situations we recommend using ground staples to secure the hoops, especially in soft ground and windy areas. Super Hoops are 58″ L and provide 14″ headroom in a 3′ wide bed — plenty of height for new transplants and low-growing crops. Super Hoops are perfect for short plants & seedlings (14"). Powder-coated flexible steel wire, 3.7 mm wire with 2.7 mm wire crosses braces
GrowJourney Note: This works the same as the heavier Agribon (forming a complete barrier against frost & harsh weather), but comes out of the box as a one-piece, accordion-style cover that you can put on, take off, and store really easily. If you only have one or two beds to cover, this product is perfect. We recommend the larger “giant” size (there is a shorter & thinner variation) in this cover because taller cool season plants will not have enough room to grow in shorter covers. Made from long-lasting UV-stabilized, 45gsm heavy-weight polypropylene fleece with rust-proof, galvanized steel hoops, which easily go into the ground to secure and keep the tunnel in position. Drawstring ends for easy access. Dimensions: 118″L x 24″W x 18″H
GrowJourney Note: The support hoops are made from two heavy-gauge wires joined by cross braces, they’re easier to install than single hoops (no flopping!) and they support fabric, bird net and shade net better, too. They’re ideally suited for 3′ wide raised beds. They may also be used in 4′ wide beds as well as in-ground beds; for these situations we recommend using ground staples to secure the hoops, especially in soft ground and windy areas. Hoops are 58″ L and provide 14″ headroom in a 3′ wide bed — plenty of height for new transplants and low-growing crops. Hoops are perfect for short plants & seedlings (14"). Powder-coated flexible steel wire, 3.7 mm wire with 2.7 mm wire crosses braces
GrowJourney Note: Same exact one-piece, accordion-style design as the FLEECE Tierra Garden Tunnel, but this one has a polyethylene, UV-stabilized greenhouse plastic covering, offering more protection from the elements. We recommend the larger “giant” size (there is a shorter & thinner variation) in this cover because taller cool season plants will not have enough room to grow in shorter covers. Made from long-lasting UV-stabilized, 150 micron heavy-duty polyethylene with rust-proof, galvanized steel hoops, which easily go into the ground to secure and keep the tunnel in position. Drawstring ends for easy access
Dimensions: 118″L x 24″W x 18″H
GrowJourney Note: Tough polyethylene unfolds easily, quickly and lasts up to 4 years – we’ve gotten 6+ years out of some of our pieces! The thin yet durable polyethylene resin allows optimum light transmission for optimum plant growth. The infra-red additive helps to stabilize the internal temps inside your low tunnels, hoop house, or greenhouse while reducing heat loss. Superior Strength and Toughness; UV Treated. Dimensions: 12’x 25′
Use with: Super Hoops or Hi-Rise Super Hoops
GrowJourney Note: A great cold frame option, you can use to start seeds, harden off transplants, and grow greens and other cool-season crops. The base is made wood, and the top is made with polycarbonate panels that diffuse light so plants don’t “cook." The top panel is adjustable in height and can be locked in place at various height intervals. Dimensions: 25" W x 39.5" L, 10.5″ – 15″H
Tools & Supplies: Irrigation
Keep your garden soil and plants stress-free throughout the warm months with irrigation. Using water filters and drinking-safe hoses can help reduce soil and food contamination.
GrowJourney Note: The Gardener’s Drip Kit is a convenient, all-in-one drip irrigation system that efficiently waters up to a 75 square foot area (or 2, 4×10 beds) and it installs easily without digging and not requiring any plumbing skills. If at all possible, we recommend you use drip lines in your garden for better water efficiency, cost savings, and less foliar diseases on your plants. Easy to cut & connect, this is a fantastic starter kit that can be added to & built upon as needed!
GrowJourney Note: These are the irrigation timers we use in our gardens. They're battery-operated and very easy to set up. Control dials allow you to: 1) set frequency; 2) set run time; 3) override scheduled program for rain delay (24 to 72 hours) or add timed manual watering without disrupting your programmed schedule.

These 100% metal sprinklers are virtually indestructible (there are no moving parts), and do a great job of spot irrigating smaller spaces/beds & larger areas (up to 900 sq. ft.) where you don’t have drip lines. Ideal for small areas, low water pressure areas and fast, accurate coverage.
GrowJourney Note: Great for watering delicate plants & seedlings! Helps keep humidity around the plants with very little disturbance to the roots or soil. We have several of these in different volumes and love them! Superfine Volume: 1/2 GPM flow @ 40 PSI. Made in the U.S.A. from solid brass. 3/4 hose threads.
Variations: 1 GPM flow // 2 GPM flow
GrowJourney Note: We love Gilmour products - they last year after year. Sturdy construction with a front-pull lever that is four times easier to use than the traditional back-pull lever. This lightweight nozzle has an ergonomic, insulated grip which reduces hand fatigue, and an all metal water passage. The Gilmour Swivel Connect pivots without twisting the hose, reducing hose kinks by 70%. 8 clearly marked spray patterns: bucket fill, mist, shower, rinse, soft wash, clean, sweep and jet, and front control requires less effort to activate. Rear lever pull option also available.
GrowJourney Note: We’ve been using one of these for years for our duck’s water & for our yard, and we absolutely love it! Chlorine, which is in all tap water, has a toxic effect on good soil microbes and your (or your poultry’s) microbiome.
