Wheeled push hoe?
« on: June 10, 2005, 13:56:17 »
Does anyone know where I would get a wheeled push hoe? Seen one of these in use recently and sooooooooo want one.

Also, where is a good (cheap) place to get fleece from?

muchos gracias all and thanks for the advice

Fleece was really cheap at Focus do it all, think I paid 17p per meter!

Have you tried ebay? I got some from there fairly cheaply recently.

Fleece - NA Kay is always worth looking at.

Hoes - this is strange - recently looked at several on the net but now can't find them!! Mostly continental - or, the one I ordered, American.

Later - silly me - I was Googling 'wheeled hoe' instead of 'wheel hoe'. HO, HO!

It looks OK if you're going to plant in rows, but I don't think it would fit my bed cultivation too well.

I have got a planet hoe (jigger) which is pushed between the rows to hoe weeds.
 
Also have a planet seed drill, they have been in the family for about 4 generations now,  I will try to remember to take some photos of them tomorrow and post them on the boards for you to see.
                                                                                         ;)

Thanks for the responses...

Wheeled hoes (or wheelhoes) seem to be quite an expensive piece of kit. I have found instructions on how to make my own...

I already have a donor bike - just need some wood, a blade and some decent nuts n bolts!

If I get one up and running I will try to get a piccie up.
