Allan,
I had an apprentice run down then over my original 'bulldog' fork a few
years back; this was the fork I started growing food with in the Double Dug
French Intensive style way back when [30 years ago ]. Grrrrr. He had no idea
why I was so attached to it. I no longer take on apprenti.
I have found burning the broken shaft out was the easiest.
Where did you get the replacement handle?
Dave
Ps how did your Greenhouse Cuc's work out?
