I haven't tried either of these tools, but relate to loosing tools. In the summer I often work until dark, or I can't take one more mosquito bite. I think this is when things get misplaced. I'm fairly certain my new hugel ate my hand shovel. I found my favorite hand rake in the
compost the other day, no clue how it ended up there, I wasn't using it there.
I checked out this form because of the give a way, which is cool, but a catch 22 because now I want a Hori Hori,. I think I will put it on my wish list for Christmas. It seems like a tool that I would use a lot.
