I've recently seen, in some
gardening magazine? A hoe and something else, recommended by Elliot
Coleman.. I can't remember what it was in. But reading that article, I
realized I shouldn't be bending over chopping at the ground.. I even kept
my thumbs up like he says to do.. I was amazed at how much easier that way..
'cept my back can't take too much bending
over..oy! After reading the previous posts
about hoes, I've decided I need to buy myself a decent hoe. I've used one
that my gramma had for years.. 'til the handle broke.
Last year I went to our local
hardware store and bought the only one they had. I'm going to give it
to my girls, it's way too short for me.
Gardener's Supply Company has a
goose neck hoe, it has a 58" hardwood ash handle, the blade is 6" hardened
carbon steel.. I'm 5' 10". Is that handle going to be long enough
for me ? I'm awfully "frugal" (not cheap like dh says!) and I'd hate to
spend the money on another tool that I'm not going to be happy
with.
Maybe I'll have to go visit Franklin and talk him outta one of
his <g&d>
