New Jersey News Releases

(NewJersey.CityRegions.Com, August 20, 2015 ) Northfield, NJ - New Jersey -- Summer is now in full force. Gardeners are out in their yards and gardens in a never ending fight against weeds to keep their produce and flowers growing to their maximum potential. At Otterly Great Products (OGP), they've been tilling and weeding their own yard for the last several months and have re-discovered a centuries-old knife that has made their gardening experience much more efficient. With decades of experience planting and growing their own organic produce, their last few months of use have introduced them to a way of fast and efficient gardening that has only become apparent with their new Hori Hori Knife.
But what exactly is a Hori Hori Knife? This little knife is a multi-purpose spade-type hand tool with two different cutting edges. One side is serrated, in order to saw through tough plant material and roots, while the other is honed to a sleek cutting edge to easily slice through less fibrous plants. With a beveled center and a measuring rule carved into the steel blade, it can also function as a digging tool to help uproot or transplant flowers and vegetables. Originating in Japan, the knife was created for a two-fold purpose - it was a hand-held tool to help harvest tough mountain plants from their thick-rooted bases, and to serve as a weapon to protect farmers from bandits and brigands in the 16th Century. Now it is mainly used for its original purpose of transplanting, weeding and cutting out tough unwanted plants in any garden or yard.
Since OGP's own re-discovery of the Hori Hori Knife, they couldn't be happier with how the product works in their own garden. OGP founder Dr. Martin Brown says, "I couldn't plant as much produce as I did this season without the Hori Hori. It helped rip up stubborn wild onions, cut through tough roots and turned the soil faster than I had ever been able to with a regular spade or trowel in 40+ years that I've been organic gardening." Tasks that took an hour to complete such as ripping out those tough wild onions have been halved; the Hori Hori Knife has replaced at least three other tools that were previously used in the garden, and has reduced the clutter and confusion that many gardeners can experience when needing a specific tool for each small purpose.
With the Hori Hori Knife, Otterly Great Products has released their own brand of knife on the market to help combat the never-ending battle between the gardener and the elements. While society as a whole tends to look to the future for many of the new inventions that make their lives easier, it is also essential to look to the past to re-discover lost or forgotten tools and inventions that may have slipped through the cracks over the centuries of human innovation. Founder Dr. Martin Brown says, "At Otterly Great Products, we will continue our research into both the past and the present to find products to make life happier, healthier, more efficient, and, most of all, more fun for everyone."
