Hi I'm trying to find what I believe is a long handled shovel used for opening drills for potatoes etc. These t??ls used to have a long wooden handle wit has a bent handle to enable the user to the head level/flat while passing it to create the drill. Please help

    Sorry, but I've not the faintest notion what you're talking about Jamie.

    Do you mean a chillington hoe?

    Do you mean something like a giant decorator's shave hook, which you can draw across the soil to make a V-shaped trench?

    I think I know what you mean......not much used here in the UK (except for ditching) but I know they are in other countries.

    Amazon have a good selection, just search 'long handled shovels'.
