Enter the Garden Hoe

Why get a rotorvator to break up your soil for you in five minutes, when you can spend a week doing it by hand instead? Exactly, that's what I thought.

Enter the garden hoe! I think so far this is my favourite gardening tool :3 The one I'm using hasn't changed much since Roman times, but there's a foam grip on the end so I'm sure that brings it into the 21st century.

By the way, some people have been asking where exactly is the place where us city kids embarass ourselves in front of seasoned gardeners, so I'll give you their website - http://www.beechparkallotments.ie/

And here's what a patch of ground looks like after being mercilessly hoe'd. The lines in ground are called 'furrows'. I was completely broken after doing that, it's really hard work! You can see the on the last couple of furrows I was slacking haha, I could of made them a bit longer :)

***DISASTER HAS STRUCK!****

It has transpired Aaron purchased cheap ass reasonably priced hoe, there I was creating the straightest furrows you'd ever see and then...KABLAMO:
