The message from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words: In article .com, writes: | michael adams wrote: | | A mattock. | | I gto mine from Wickes for nto very much money and it's one of the best | tools I've ever bought. Way better than a spade for hard ground. And for weed-infested ground, grubbing brambles and saplings and so on. There are a dozen regular posters who swear by the things. 15-20 quid, and it will last out a couple of gardening lifetimes. Mine came from SCATS, if I recall. I inherited mine from my late uncle's shed. He inherited it from his Irish father, it's at least 100 years old and still in perfect condition, wonderfully balanced. I use it regularly and wouldn't be without it. Brides should put "mattock" on their wedding present lists, imho. Janet ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mine is of similar age but was originally an adze. Much better steel and takes a fine edge. Yours could be the same? Best Wishes Brian. |
