All of my life I have used the standard digging tools in my garden,
but recently a Maltese friend introduced me to a triangular digging
hoe which he had brought from Malta and showed me how easy it was to
use. It made me wonder why we continue to use standard tools which
have always given me backache. He didn't know of anyone in this
country that sold them and promised to get one sent to me from Malta.
I started hunting to see if I could find someone who did, and found
two suppliers."get digging" and "Chillington tools". Chillington
actually manufacture them and export them all over the world but do
not supply retailers in this country. Get Digging import them.
For the first time in my life I have managed to dig my garden without
getting backache and what I couldn't believe was that it was actually
quicker.
Is there anyone out there who can confirm what it has taken me a
lifetime to discover, and if so, why didn't you tell someone earlier.

You talking about the Azada? (Get Digging version, imported from Spain)
If so, I have one and it's a great versatile tool.
