Flare Exposure by Hand




Excess soil being removed - carefully -  with the hori hori knife.




Hori hori or Japanese garden knife. One of my favorite tools.




The hori hori knife is flat on one side with beveled edges. The other side is slightly concave.








Nice stiff brush from the hardware store.




Brushing soil away away loosening with the garden knife.




Another excellent tool for removing the loose soil - horse brush.





Electric blowers like the STIHL can be used to remove the loosened soil.
