Breaking News in the Pine Cone Clean-Up World

Perhaps "breaking news" in the pine cone world is a bit extreme for our new product release but if you've ever had to pick up pine cones, you know that this can be a serious matter.  Pine cones can be annoying and hurtful (maybe like some people you know)!  We've sold the Pine Cone Wizard by Holt's Nut Wizard for many years now and truly, it is a best seller for us!

However, it is designed to pick up large pine cones and well, not all pine cones are large!  Our recommendation for small pine cones has always been the Large Nut Wizard by Holt's Nut Wizard.  This model is perfect for black walnuts, sweet gum balls, magnolia seed heads, apple/pear and small fruits-- basically anything 1" to 4" in size.  It does a pretty decent job on small and skinny pine cones too but we have been asking Holt's Nut Wizard to address smaller pine cones-- and they delivered!  We now offer the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  Check it out.

The first picture shows the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  The length measures 15" (basket only- no end pieces).  The second picture shows a comparison between the Large Pine Cone Wizard and the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  Ready for your own pine cone harvester?  You can order them here.  Until next time, the pine cone picking up world is shookth. 

The Calm Before The Storm....

It's been a bit of a quiet week here at Southern Garden Tools but we know what this means.  A week or two of quiet before the phones start lighting up as people realize that nut season is approaching.. or arrived.  Nut season is very busy here and for good reason-- we literally stock some great nut products.  If you need a nut picked up, we have a solution for you.  We sell everything from $21.95 Griffith Pecan Gatherers (these are great for those who like to take a walk and collect pecans or go out by the backyard pecan tree with the kiddos) up to the heavy duty 36" double wheel, double basket Bag-A-Nut Nut Picker Uppers.  These hook up to your mower/ATV and roll behind you as you drive along comfortably.

These aren't just for pecans-- we have them for black walnuts, acorns, filberts/hazelnuts, almonds, chestnuts, English walnuts, hickory nuts, macadamias-- and even sweet gum balls (aren't they annoying), golf balls and pine cones!  They will run you about $750 and that includes shipping.  But truly-- you will make that money up in extra harvested nuts!  It picks up nuts you can't even see.  Trust me that we have plenty of products between the $21 and the $750.  Just check us out and let me know if you have any questions.

What good would it be to have a whole bunch of nuts but no way to crack them?  We have that too!  We have the basic hand crackers that you place a nut in and squeeze... all the way up to electric crackers.  If you've ever tried to crack a black walnut... then you know it can be next to impossible.  Not with our Drill cracker!  And have 10 tons of pecans but don't relish the thought of cracking them?  Our Kinetic Kracker can do 1,560 pecans per hour.  So those 10 tons... they don't look so laborious anymore.


We are nuts about nuts and this season is personally my favorite.  Fall is the best!  Pumpkins and nuts and leaves and cooler weather-- count me in!  So we can handle this calm before the storm.  But nut season draw near, my friends, and let us help you be ready for it!

Pine Cones Taking Over?

Pine Cone Wizard

Pine Cones, Pine Cones, EVERYWHERE!

Don't let Pine Cone's overrun your yard and don't strain your back as you gather them up. I love our Pine Cone Wizard because it glides right over them, trapping them inside until you are ready to free them. I never even knew there was such a thing until I began working here. All I could think was, Genius!

The Pine Cone Wizard is built with a 4ft long pole which will have your back thanking you when the gathering is all over. The gathering basket is freely spinning and can hold up to 3 ¾ gallons of pine cones. That is a whole lot of pine cones!

Give your back an early Christmas present and use the Pine Cone Wizard to do the dirty work for you. You can order them straight from our website
