I have the next size down from this one and have used it this year rather than a hoe.   I have found it much quicker and do not ache as much.   I also have the Canterbury hoe - all brilliant tools.

The best hoe in the World - ask any African they will all agree.. It is the only hoe that every african uses.

I suffer from lower back pain, and digging is not my favourite past time, but having tried this yesterday I must admit I'm a convert.   :happy7:
