"...It was thought this would be a good spade for edging or separating clumps - Tester's comments:
• "Tread held the soil. • "Very lightweight and good for small areas". • "A good point on the spade and very effective through turf and around plants." • "This is a specialised, dedicated tool which I would buy and recommend to others especially smaller, weaker gardeners." • "Most Popular Spades... Sneeboer's pointed spade was felt to be an ideal specialist spade rather than a general digging tool, being particularly good for creating holes, planting and edging".

Storage is not a problem either; at only 34cm long, the Hand Hoe/Weeder will fit comfortably on any potting shed shelf.
"Harrod Horticultural has recently started retailing the range from this Dutch manufacturer. All their products have a nice hand-crafted rustic look to them that I personally find pleasing. This superbly made hand tool is great for getting into those corners and awkward spots that a conventional hoe cannot reach - and is also excellent for cleaning out chicken houses.
