Here in Spain another essential garden tool is the mattock! Spades and forks just do not get through our soil, which sets rock solid even if there’s no rain and I don’t tread on the beds.

Hi Jane
What does a mattock look like? It sounds a bit like the Jembe they use in Africa.
Thanks for your comment

A mattock is really a sort of pick axe. Very useful though as the previous poster said

Hi Tim
Do you know of any mattocks in the UK – or are they just in Spain?
