[DeadlyNightshade]

Hiya,

I need your help for the english name (and possibly a source, where I can get this thing over here) for the following tool for looseninig up the soil:

I have never seen it here and it would make life soooo much easier for me as I am still in the process of digging up my "lawn"


Thanks and happy gardening

Looks like a fancy Hoe or Cultivator to me.

I have been to B&Q, Homebase, Wilko, the big Supermarkets (Tesc@, Asda etc), Argos, Amazon and eBay, but i can not find one that looks like or similar to that so far.

It is shaped like a boars tooth and very long, probably roughly the same curve/ length as an ordinary football at least. Haven't seen anything even remotely like it yet

Here is another pic that should do the size more justice

Thanks so far

Hi DeadlyNightshade,

I think it's called a sow tooth

Not sure if this website might help in terms of ordering one?

i bought the 3 toothed hogs plough and a 5 toothed at car boot sale, think i only paid £5 for both

Looks as if it would come in handy on a very windy day on the plot as an anchor!!

Or perhaps on a steep incline 

Anyone ever used one?

Can't say I have, but I do like the look of it!
