When digging blood worms in Moreton Bay, for bait during the 60s and 70s, my father and I would often break a quality garden fork: imagine the cheap quality ones of today.

We used to discard the broken bottoms and keep the handles for replacement. I used one set of tines to make this tine hoe and it excells in compacted soil where my other one fails. The set of tines make the hoe/cultivator end and some flat welded thereon with a piece of gal pipe welded thereto for attachment of a heavy dowel/ post hole shovel handle or the like.
