HI ALL,
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!)

Subject: Re: [pbs] grubbing hoe
Just for clarification: when I was getting my C. x powellii out, I wasn't
trying to keep them intact - I was just trying to rid of them. The grub hoe
worked fine for that (someone had commented that it didn't work well in such
deep holes as those in which crinum reside). If you're trying to keep them
pretty, it might not be the tool of choice.
I do believe "grub hoe" is the more common usage (as opposed to "grubbing").
Google displays lots of examples, under either name.
