Grubber.

[lainey lou]

My Dad has been going on about a useful tool he used to have called a grubber.
Does anyone know if this would be the same as an azada (I think thats what you call them - showing my ignorance here!)?

[Flummery]

I think it's a small hand-held effort that you can shove (excuse the technical language here Lainey!) under weeds and uproot them. Useful for daisies in a lawn etc. It has 2 prongs and look slightly like a carving fork. - ish.

Thanks for your replies, thats not the tool Dad was on about, perhaps he's got the wrong name. It got a long handle and is used I think for breaking up the earth, the end I think looks like an axe on one side and a sideways axe on the other (clear as mud, I know!).
