Two! Lucky you. I think if more people realised how easy and versatile these tools are they would be using them. Thanks for stopping by!

£10.50! What a find, John! I don’t think people are just buying them for their utilitarian value anymore (which as you say is fantastic) but weirdly they have become ‘collectables’.

We’re sure they will make a comeback, they are just so easy to use. All our jalo finds have come from Ebay too!

I have used the Jalo on my allotment for many years together with the Wolf Terra automatic spade and find it makes it so much easier than the normal tools.I expect them to make a comeback as gardeners become aware of them again.Ebay is a good starting place to look for those interested.

Lasagna gardening sounds intriguing though I think my daughter would be disappointed if I couldn’t actually grow her a lasagna! Granny Goo’s Jalo is safe from my thieving hands as we are using no-dig methods in our raised beds at home. Thanks for great ideas as usual.

Hi Goo
I have been looking at “lasagna gardening” which is a no-dig, layer mulching method, publicised by Patricia Lanza. Spuds are a very good first year crop for a lasagna bed and peas make a good companion. It sounds like you had fun
