    How much should I be looking to spend on a dutch hoe? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the variety online. Are there any brands I should look out for? Cheers all,

    I use a reticulating hoe bought from the HDRA or whatever they are now called, farr better than a dutch hoe.

    As for price Id say around £25 ish.
