Grow your own
without the strain!
Made from hardened and tempered British Steel, the Chillington
Hoe is a strong, sharp and incredibly sturdy digging hoe, and
one of the best tools for heavy- duty ground clearance and
preparation. It cuts through the hardest of soils with ease and
makes light work of stony ground and tree roots. Used with a
rhythmical swinging action it takes the strain out of digging. A
must have for any keen vegetable grower, the Chillington Hoe is
perfect for everything from digging- in manure to ‘earthing up’
potatoes. Due to growing demand Chillington have now made a
range of their tools available by mail order. Their website com-
pliments their mail order operation where their tools can be
viewed and purchased over the internet. Their customer base
ranges from the commercial sector to the allotment holder or
general gardener. See the full range at Gardeners World in June
(Hall 19 stand G650).
