rakestale
Definitions
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- noun A rake-handle.
Examples
-
If the main dimensions of the borders and beds are carefully measured and marked by stakes, it is an easy matter to complete the outline by making a mark with a stick or rakestale.
-
If marker furrows are not available, a furrow may be opened with a hoe for such deep-planted seeds as peas and sweet peas, or by a trowel or end of a rakestale for smaller seeds.
Note
The word 'rakestale' is a compound of 'rake' and 'stale' (in the sense of 'handle'.)
