(doesn't mean my plot is weed-free in case anyone wonders, but
that's my fault, not the hoe's.)

Thank you Squash, that's another dimension to add to the conversation

. I'll be at it for hours

Hi Jannie - I have one that my son made for me.. I took photos and measurements in a GC for him to make it for me - saved 30 quid!! They are fantastic for weeding but obviously not for digging. I have an Asada hoe (typical African hoe) for digging and big hoeing jobs. Now he has made me a smaller version for small jobs..

would have to second the swoe hoe, would be lost now with out it

Hi Gavin. We have an azada brought from Portugal, an amazing tool. Lots of jobs made easier at the plot. We have lots of horse tail & bind weed so it's whatever is best for the job. You have a very clever son

Granny - my son plays with off-roading 4x4's and has a unit in Wilmslow near you and the guy he shares the unit with is a pro welder..

I bought a swoe when they were on offer, never use it.

Another vote for the Swoe here. Very light and easy to use.

I bought a short handled speed hoe in the Wyevale sale and it is brilliant; the weeds don't stand a chance :-)

Have you tried amazon? Put in Haxnicks speed hoe into amazon box on this site

They look rather pricey. You will have to get daughter to buy her own.

This one is slightly cheaper

There is also one on ebay but it is not clear if it is the smaller one. Definitely smaller version.

grannyjanny · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2013, 08:06:00 »

I bought her a new one for Christmas 2011 Digeroo but she keeps forgetting to put mine in her car when she leaves the plot. TBH she is very busy dashing here there & everywhere. The hoe is sentimental too, Elaine gave it to to me before going to live in Portugal. I thought I would try a different type of hoe so wondered what others thought.

grannyjanny · « **Reply #18 on:** June 11, 2013, 09:21:35 »

Daughter just phoned on her way to lotty so requested my hoe. When I asked her if hers was OK she said she needs to rescue it from her OH as he pinches all the good tools we buy for her & hides them
