Gardeners' World
It's called a mattock. It's a digging implement as well as a hoe.
One of the tools used when we work in the Country park is a mattock.
I wielded it for a short time, preparing ground for planting a hedge.
It looked (and felt!) a lot heavier than the 90° hoe which Carol was
leaning on in GW...
A group of us do volunteer work with Dorset Wildlife Trust and Dorset CC
Ranger Service. Mattocks are much in evidence when replacing revetments
for paths, ditching etc. It's an extremely useful tool for all sorts of
things.
