    Never heard of a vanilla hoe, but there's lots of different kinds of hoe:

    What is to stop you buying one in Homebase, and then just sawing off the head?

    Also, out of interest, how does a Dutch hoe differ from a, um, normal or vanilla hoe?

    Actually, I have two hoes, one where a small "blade" sticks pretty much straight out, and a second one with a larger blade at right angles pointing slightly backwards.

    They're both quite useful in their own ways, and the first is better for fiddly weeding round closely spaced plants, but on the whole I think the second type is better and more effective for weeding.

    from what I can see on the mainland they don't sell dutch hoes

    I've looked in the UK and I just want to buy the head and stick it on a stick at my place

    but can only find the wolf garten system which sells the head on its own

    Some brands have detachable handles where you can stick on a different head.
