Hi everyone,
Those of you who have a wheel hoe, do you use it often? Was it worth the cost? I'm in FL, so I'd want to buy a Glaser metal one, and it's about $500 with the weeding blade. That's a lot of money. The grass here is impossible to pull up by hand in the garden and around my baby fruit trees, and I was hoping this would save me a lot of weeding time going forward. Thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone.
I'm beginning the attempt to make our Central Florida property more self-sufficient and need some help determining best layout. Here's what we current have. The property slopes down from the road, moreso as you go further back. Image is pretty much north/south. Two garden areas near the front, and currently a row of fruit trees along the driveway. We have a few more baby fruit trees around the oaks in the middle and a few further back. I'd like to add more fruit trees, a bunch of blackberries and I don't  yet know what else. Any good ideas on how to lay this out best? Eventually I'd like to get a mini dairy cow so would like to be able to fence off more field by the round pen so the paddock's grass doesn't get overeaten. Total is about 3 acres I think.

Thanks!

I like my Ariat Heritage Ropers for working outside. Mine are at least 5 years old and still trucking along, though not as waterproof as they were.
