Interesting. Thanks for the links. Maybe worth while investing in one.
One thing made me smile... the Amazon link says the hoe is available
gift wrapped. :-) That would make an interestingly shaped present.

Judging by their catalogues, which both of which I get, they are so
similar that if not the same company they must liaise very closely.

I've had terrible trouble with white rot on allotment2. I've tried to keep
all of the alliums on allotment1 this year.
So are you just using a bigger gap between bulbs to try and prevent the
white rot spreading? Does it work? Ours seemed to come in patches so I
assumed it was just patches in the ground rather than being passed between
the plants.
