IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CALLED A "GRUBBING HOE" DOWN HERE IN THE SOUTH. EACH AREA OF THE COUNTRY PROBABLY HAS A 'LOCAL" NAME WHICH THEY REFER TO IT. MAIN THING, WHETHER GRUB OR GRUBBING, IT CERTAINLY WORKS WELL!!!
PATTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS
(WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO GET SOME RAIN)
(I CERTAINLY HOPE I DON'T JINX IT BY SAYING SO!)
