RE: 3 Must-Have Hand Tools for the Garden & Homestead (DTube Daily Vlog)
that grub hoe looks pretty great, I just got a 2.5 lb mattock and it is great for roots and such, I have a hoe as well and it is ok but it is too light, that looks like a useful cross. I have recently gotten into using the hoe for weeding, it works well in well tilled soil but it could use a little more weight.
Ya, it is a great happy medium between the mattock and hoe. The grub hoe literally changed the way I worked. I can relate to the hoe being light, althogh colinear or stirrup hoes can be great tools for slicing weeds, depending on soil texture of course.
having the right tool for the job makes a world of difference. There is a guy who mentors and helps homesteaders on TV and he says if he could only have three tools on the homestead he would want a great big chainsaw, a medium sized chainsaw and a smaller chainsaw.
