Hi everybody,I have a problem. :(

Hi stranger, nice to see you back.  Is this the type of hoe you mean?

I could certainly send you one although I suspect someone further South than I will be able to buy them cheaper.   I'd also be concerned that it may be too long for posting (expensive too).

Who knows someone travelling to Italy then?

Why not just send the business end? I'm sure they have handles in Italy.

same thing occured to me but best to see first if that is the desired implement.

Yes, it's the desired implement and yes, we've got handles in Italy and if it's possible to send me the business end I'll be happy.
PS: I spent one hour to translate with my old vocabulary your replies. I don't improve my english, damn... :mrgreen:

OK, the hunt is on for a dutch hoe head to take a (presumably) wooden handle.  A lot do seem to be one-piece jobs but see what you can find folks.  Best not to buy on the spot until you are yellowkid's appointed buyer.
