I got a chance to watch an old family friend using a home made tool I can't remember ever seeing before. It worked.... it worked well. I decided I NEEDED 1 of these hoes but... her husband hasn't welded in years and got rid of all his welding equipment so getting him to make 1 for me by getting on my knees and begging wouldn't work.

Neat article I ran across trying to find a stirrup hoe for sale, Specialty Garden Hoes: A New Look at an Old Gardening Tool. Too bad they didn't add photos to each type of hoe.

Johnny's has one, nice with Swiss steel replaceable blade and Maine ash handle. Pricey, not $2 unfortunately.

I have one I bought at Home Dope-O not the greatest quality but the price was not bad and it works just fine.

I went and looked at Home Dumpo.... ours isn't carrying any!! Bummer. I found 1 online that interests me because replacement blades are cheap and there's a dibber tool with an angled handle I could buy at the same time that I wouldn't have to pay shipping and handling on if I ordered it at the same time I bought the stirrup hoe and a replacement blade, Ammann & Rouge Hoes. It looks like it's pretty rugged. What do you guys using these tools think of the stirrup hoe I found?
