I must say I agree with you about using a hoe to clear weeds. I have a stainless swoe that I strap to the bike crossbar when I go to the allotment, I also keep an old cheap one at the site, if I'm passing I call in and do 30 minutes or so, even this short time is enought to do three or four of my 10ft bt 4ft beds. I was in France some years ago and I bought a sharpening stone that I use all the time. It's abour 15 inches long and has an oval cross sectional area, I suspect it's meant for a scythe but I use it for all my tools with an edge. Have a nice new year. Donald Cape Hiya John,
