Tobacco is a pesticide whether grown organic or not its dried and
ground into a dust and applied to plants.
Hoes, the best hoe is the triangular "warren hoe", you need to find an
old one, mine is 50 years old, there was a certain hardness to the steel
one piece forged with the socket, and bounce in the thin ash handles of
that time that make them a pleasure to work with. The new ones just
bounce off the soil and wear you out and break in a hour of use. You
don't want a mantis tiller unless you like exhaust fumes noise and
vibration...Bob.
