(He's one of those guys who plants every seed in the packet.) Then she got busy with her own garden and quit on him. Kneeling and pricking out seedlings by hand was not a favored activity of Bob or his knees. \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSo he designed a hoe with a trapezoidal blade. It has one, two, three, and four inch edges. You select the edge that corresponds to the gap you want between plants, then deftly slice out the unwanted ones.
