Nice. I was thinking about doing this on a thick grass patch instead of buying a scythe. It is located in my back yard lawn.

Nice video, thank you.

Thx for the feeback, Janet.

Smart work

yandex search A: firefighters cutting burn line with pulaski and B: how to use wood adze. You can do this digging with a grub hoe but you run the risk of hitting a rock hard and cracking the bit. Thats the cutting edge and 2 inches inward or so, like for axes. Search also for "grubbing a site" specifically for roads and they use a tractor shovel with a pail to rip away the top layer. That is how a grub hoe is really used. You dont need to dig out the root ball of that grass clump, just grub the top 1/4 inch layer away and you cut off the plant at its stem. Try it in turf with lots of grass and watch as it peels up in long strips as you use the weight of the hoe to pull the grass away often with the smaller roots, from the ground. Like firefighters, you do one row, but unlike them, you then go the length of the cut forward and do the next row. Each row cut becomes a layer of mulch, blocking sunlight of the cleared ground of the previous row, and becoming dead vegetation that will add nutrients. It takes a lot less labor as well, compared to swinging into ground and trying to pry things up, meaning you can do it all day.

I'am sure you already know this but if you replace your handle with a pipe handle and fill it with wood it will last twice as long. I did this with my rake with out wood filler and have never had to replace it that was 10years ago.

When are they going to be back in stock

Isn't that more of a "Grape Hoe" than a "Grub Hoe"?

Could be, what's the difference?

Grape hoe is considerably wider, but it isn't as long, so it won't cut into the soil as deep. Grub hoes are usually 10-15 centimeters(4-6 inches) wide but cut much deeper. Not only can you really till deeply with the grub hoe, you can dig a decent little trench with it. But if you are trying to cut through the weed roots for a large plot the grape hoe with the wider blade is the way to go.

Good distinction

Why wouldn't you just fork out the big ones?

Forking doesnt work in compacted soil You may find it easy if you have loose soil but forking is for very light soil or heavily amended gardens. try forking where its wet in clay or hardpan and you'll bend your forks tines or break the handle. use the right tool for the job.
