Can only see 2 handles - 1 & 1.4m? For beds, the shorter?

MrsKP · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2007, 08:36:32 »

there's telescopic ones, aluminium ones, wooden ones, short ones, long ones, extra handles for ones ............ the list is endless.

tim - i hope you're on commission ;) ;D ;D ;D

Oh, I was looking in another site!

I would think the 32cm one for beds? Ours is the 1.4m one.

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I read this post this morning and thought I can't wait to get my hoe in my hand again. That's got to be a good sign!! It's p****ing down outside though and I'm off to Dolphinton in 10 minutes. MAybe later.

Sitting in my basket I have Large Draw hoe,Large Push Pull,120 Handle and 150 Handle....figuring handle lengths might suit us both. There was a 20% discount if you bought 4 things and free delivery total of £41.33.

Tim, the only last question I have for you,well I think, the above is for the aluminium handles, but I am unsure as to these versus wood?? Can you help just a little bit more. I was thinking weight for me .

keep me advised Jeannine. I was thinking wood, but then I'm a traditionalist ! Aluminium would be lighter though.

Hey come on Mrs KP, I thought we were in this together. Have you made up your mind yet.

Thanks Tim, you have been a angel with all my questions.

Grawrc, If you really really need to do some hoeing ,it has stopped raining in Hull,I think I could manage to share the job if you are having a real need. You take it easy, good to hear you thinking about your garden,and hoeing is good. XXX Jeannine

OK, 120cm aluminium (1m makes me bend, 140cm and I've not enough control - and I am a control freak.

Now to find another head and handle. Am thinking the 32cm mini handle ........... and ............ the soil rake. Mine is very very old !

Right, let's go price it up.

;D

Which site did you get your prices from ? Are they any cheaper than Longacres (.co.uk) ?

Also, anyone know where I can get a winged hoe (shaped like a jet fighters wings) ?

Jeannine · « **Reply #35 on:** May 27, 2007, 17:17:16 »

I've gone through check out, I didn't have anything in my cart, it had cleared itself, so I had to start again, John got involved too so we have bought both sizes and two handle sizes. He said he has a good draw hoe but he wanted push pull for himself.

I didn't get any trouble having to wait so they must clear their carts fairly quickly. POP back and look quick . XX Jeannine

Jeannine · « **Reply #37 on:** May 28, 2007, 00:08:22 »

Pesky there is a link on this post a few comments earlier, it is agood price, I have been looking all over.

MrsKP · « **Reply #38 on:** May 28, 2007, 05:36:55 »

thought i'd put my purchases up on here, but it was obviously in the pm ! 8)

I got a 120cm aluminium handles, 32cm mini handle, 15cm push pull and rake head for £34.29.

The smaller push pull disappeared out of stock before i got my grubby mitts on it, but I'm sure the bigger one will be just fine and if I feel the need for an ickle one later, i'll get one then !

Can't wait for it to arrive so i can practice in the garden before trying out my skills in public ! lol

;D
