Grow Guides

Practical guides for people who actually use their tools: keeping blades cutting cleanly, choosing the right shape for the job, cutting technique that plants recover from, and getting a harvest dried and stored without losing quality.


Care & Repair

Cleaning, oiling, sharpening and the small fixes that bring a stiff pair of snips back to life. Start here if you already own the tool.

The first care guides publish in the next few weeks — sharpening, sticking blades, and spring replacement.

Choosing Tools

Blade types, blade shapes and sizes compared honestly, including where each one stops being the right choice.

Comparison guides are being written now, starting with micro-tip versus bypass versus anvil.

Technique

How and where to cut — pruning, pinching, propagation and sanitising between plants — for herbs, houseplants and bonsai.

Technique guides are on the way.

Harvest & Dry

Harvesting, trimming, drying and storing so the work you put in during the season survives the last two weeks.

In the meantime, the Harvest & Curing Checklist below covers the essentials.

The Tools Behind These Guides

Every guide is written around gear we actually make and use. Browse the trimming shears, trays, and scissors growers reach for at harvest.

The Harvest & Curing Checklist

Until the full guides land, this is the short version: the drying window, the snap test, the burping schedule, and what to do when something goes wrong. Tell us where to send it.
