Remember it is get a hammer, not get hammered or funny as a bag of hammers, which would be inappropriate.
A hammer like the one featured is a great tool to help refresh and prolong the life of seasonal greenery.
Often seasonal greenery comes from retailers and wholesales in bunches on shelves or in cartons.
To rehydrate and prolong the green-ness of seasonal greenery make a fresh cut or more precisely cut a wedge at the end of the middle stem of the bough to create more surface area for water uptake.
A few hits with the hammer at the site of the fresh cut, also helps to loosen up the fibres in order to ease rehydration of coniferous greenery.
Submerge ends in buckets of water for at least one hour before usage. Once incorporated into an urn or planter, please continue to water until freezing occurs.
