    This is the way you sharpen regular secateurs, but not Okatsune. They are made from extremely hard steel. No other garden tool in the World is made of steel that hard and the downside of it is that the edge is more brittle. Therefore, Okatsune pruners need to be sharpened on both sides. Check out a video by Okatsune Europe where Tsuneya Okano, the President of Okatsune, demonstrates the correct way of sharpening this legendary tool.

    • @Gardenninja

      Not true I’m afraid one sided bevelled blades. You’re talking about two sided blades. You take the burr off the flat side but don’t actually sharpen it. Thanks for the comment though! 🥷🌿

      I don’t want to get into an argument. I simply suggested that you check out a demonstration by the manufacturer of the particular tool you are showing in your video. I was also surprised as two sided sharpening is highly unusual for a pruner. There are also sharpening instructions on the packaging showing two sided sharpening.

    Posted June 2024. Hi, I've planted some fruit trees for privacy and fruit. But height and privacy are my priority. My trees are dwarf trees and will stop growing once they hit 3-4m according to Suttons. Should I allow them to hit their mature height before I start pruning for better yields? My bare root Victoria plum tree has added 4ft since it's initial hard prune when planted in early March 2024. It's doubled in height. As where my dwarf bare root Apple, Cherry and Pear trees have only grown 1-2 feet in that same time period.

    • @Gardenninja
      @Gardenninja 3 дні тому

      Hi Scotte. I’d always winter prune (apart from Cherries which always need summer only pruning after fruiting) even young trees. This will help thicken them up for privacy and give more fruit. If you let them just grow up up and up. They will be thin and quite unwieldy. So yes I’d prune every year if you can for the thickest and most dense fruit trees. Although they are all on similar root stocks each grafted fruit tree will grow at their own rate. But don’t worry they usually all catch up! This guide may help you too. www.gardenninja.co.uk/how-to-prune-a-fruit-tree-in-summer/ happy gardening! 🥷🌿🤘

    I have a nice border hedge which birds hedgehogs live.i have noticed a section of the hedge is dying (about 8 feet).I have seen some fungus in that area and was wondering if it will kill the whole hedge which is about 30-40feet or can I cut out the dead section and replant?

    • @Gardenninja
      @Gardenninja 4 дні тому

      Hi Stephen. Sounds like some sort of fungus which yes will spread if left. I’ve dug out sections of diseased hedges like this myself in the past and then replaced sections. The key is to use a different species to the one you’ve removed to try and stop the spread of the fungus and replace any obviously infected soil (those with visible fungus) in too. Hope that helps. 🥷🌿🤘

    Hi Lee. Thanks for your great video on hedge planting and aftercare. Can you please tell me where and what brand seep hose you used for the irrigation of your hedge. also the external / internal tube diameter. It looks to be a good substantial quality hose so would like to find same if possible. Thanks for your help. Struan.

      @Gardenninja 4 дні тому

      Hi Struan. I can remember what brand it was bud I remember it being really thick and quite heavy. I opted for a more substantial deep hose given it was a 50m one to keep the pressure going all the way. That is one thing that catches gardeners out. The pressure issue! Hope that’s of some help? 🥷🌿🤘

    Good of you to mention using a scythe. On half an acre that's an easy task. Also a June - July cut allows for butterflies like meadow browns, ringlets and day flying moths to lay their eggs on the freshly mown areas, as their caterpillars prefer short, sweet, fresh growth. I'm a scyther, so obviously I'm going with that as the only true way to manage a meadow traditionally. Plenty videos of me doing so on my channel, if anyone reads this far. A half acre could be done in one go within a couple of hours, but as you mention, mowing in sections over a period of a few weeks is much better.
