I need a new hoe??

[tim]

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

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

[tim]

Oh, I was looking in another site!

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

[grawrc]

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 .

Glad to hear that, Grawcr- hope you get some good weather soon!

[MrsKP]

Don't know - your guess!!

:o

call yourself a sales agent ?

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

congrats grawrc, just remember those baby steps.  you'll get there gal.

;D

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

I was just about to measure the broom handle, when I fell asleep.

I shall do it now.

;D

[glosterwomble]

... and thanks from me Tim for the advice on sharpening!!  ;D

[MrsKP]

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]

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

[manicscousers]

ray made me a hand one I can use when I'm kneeling  :)

[Jeannine]

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

[MrsKP]

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
