Some of those hoes work better than modern ones, I can remember my father having one of those spades it was a new idea at the time and supposed to make it much easier to dig, we dismantled it and used it as a normal spade  |

A nice collection of, now mainly, defunct tools Tel. You can`t dump them, they are all part of gardening history.   |

from memory, was it the Terrex spade or something like that? My 'Assisted' gardening means getting the wife or only son at home now to lend a hand |

A guy on one of the allotments I had years ago used one. He was basically one armed as one arm was shrivelled not sure if it was due to thalidomide but it did't hold him back any.

He was one of the most active members of our society at the time. Always there to help unload the lorry when stock for the trading hut arrived, helping newcomers to clean up their plot using his brushcutter and generally being avilable for all sorts of odd jobs connected to the site. |
