Has anyone used the above please. Loaned my hoe to daughter & it doesn't seem to be coming home & I need a hoe :BangHead:. Any feedback very welcome :icon_cheers:.
Sorry dear..not familiar with that one..sounds very dangerous thing for plants though. Speeding is dangerous..... :drunken_smilie:
Sorry, not used one either. But love my swoe :icon_cheers:
Franticly looking up a swoe :icon_cheers:, goodlife me & speed don't really go together :glasses9:.
Looked up swoe & it looks interesting. I shall have a discussion with................................ myself :icon_cheers:, no comments please.

(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 :icon_cheers:. I'll be at it for hours :wave:.
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 :blob7:
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 :icon_cheers:.
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.. :happy7:
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. :BangHead:

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.
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.
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 :BangHead:.
