Hi,

I wasn't sure which forum to ask about this, but this one seems reasonable.

Does anyone have experience using Stirrup Hoes/Oscillating Hoes and did you like them?

I have problems with fatigue and when I don't feel well the weeds really go crazy in the garden even with mulch sometimes. I'm looking for something that would make it easier to weed even when I'm not feeling great. How tiring are these to operate compared to hand-weeding or using other hoes?

How large of weeds will the hoe handle easily?

I'm looking at the ones that Johnny's sells because they look really well constructed, but they are pricey. I checked out a cheaper one at Lowe's and it looked really lame. Are the Johnny's hoes worth the extra cost?

I was considering the 5 inch blade.

Thanks for any advice! Smiling
Danita
