QuoteA man who had returned home from his allotment with a trug of vegetables and gardening tools strapped to his belt was arrested by armed police, after a member of the public said they had seen "a man wearing khaki clothing and in possession of a knife".
I have wondered about this , I have a hori hori I never leave it on site or out of my sight and it's safely tucked away when leaving the plot . It's an incredible tool and have wondered why I haven't seen one being used on Gardeners'World !
