Nothing to do with gardening, well thats not true. I wont have to get my hands wet and dirty cleaning filters in my pond anymore , so I will have more time to get my hands dirty in the garden. Not fitted yet but works like a washing machine, just spins when dirty and throws all the muck away and it computerised so just plug and play, well thats what they say. We will wait and see.

I bought a similar long handled tool but with 2 heavy prongs, instead of the blade. Designed for stony ground. It works OK and is probably less tiring than the mattock I also have. The main problem I found is the angle of the blade to the handle is not ideal. It would be better if I was 6" or more shorter to get a better attack angle. Maybe Europeans are shorter than me (~5'9") on average or using these things make them that way ;-) I bought it online from somewhere in Norfolk I think. I think Monty Don used one somewhere too.
