Hoe needed in Canberra

25 November 2011 | fgzk

For the last month Ive been trying to buy a good hoe and have had no luck.

I even tried Fyshwick without result. I bought a cheap hoe with three prongs from a hardware store, out of desperation, but it exploded into three on the third swing.

What I want is a heavy duty cast ion hoe with a hole for a handle.

Does anyone know where in Canberra I can buy one?

Normally you have to have a hoe already to be able to find one to swing with!

Ho’s gardening variety are generally mattock’s bunnings sell them in 2 parts or together

Try make sure you get the kind that has the handle feed in from the top so the heavy metal thing of the mattock doesnt go flying off when your swining.

You need a rakehoe / mcloud / fire rake. They are the best gardening tool ever… and are awesome for building mountain bike trails – and virtually indestructable. You can get one at Bunnings:

mate if fyshwick didn’t yield results then I think you’ve got a lost cause on your hands.

‘Howard Molson’s got a new shovel. It’s a lovely shovel, it’s got a big brass handle!

Not the tool I’m looking for.

I also had an issue looking for a good hoe. We ended up settling with a mattock for the heavy stuff, and that very weak 3 pronged hoe for the light stuff
