The Jalo Gardener was made by J. T. Lowe Ltd., Longham, Wimborne, Dorset. They were advertised in national newspapers and (gardening and Do-It-Yourself) magazines.
Production started shortly after World War 2 and the early ones were made completely of aluminum, apart from the cultivating tynes. Later models had a steel wheel with a rubber tyre.
They were shipped by rail to all parts of the country, you could pick one up from your local station. One local man told me that there were rows of Jalos on Wimborne station awaiting delivery. There were various models, most had one wheel but some models had two wheels, you could get a wheel barrow body and a Sheen Flame gun to fit on the two wheeler.
A range of cultivating tynes, hoes, ridgers (or Bouters), ploughs and rakes etc. were available. These tynes etc. were pretty well identical to the popular Planet Junior range of tools imprted from the States.
The other important accessory was the Jiffy seed drill. This could either be fixed to the Jalo push hoe or using the handle supplied be used on its' own.
Basic price in 1951 was £3/10s (£3.50) for the one wheel hoe, the two wheeler was £5/5s (£5.25) (source: Mechnical Aids to Gardening, by J. G. Wallace, Published by Putnam & Co Ltd. London)
The earliest Jalo's were not all aluminum as you state but the frames were made of angled metal sides with flat metal welded across to fit the tools on . The wheel was made of pressed metal and no rubber tyre and the handles were two separate handles joined with a cross piece .I know this is correct as I started working at J.T.Lowe in 1946 producing the Jalo for many years and the aluminum frame with the one piece handle and rubber tyred wheel came later.I spent 25 years with the company. Also produced was a push lawn aerator but was not as successful as the Jalo Hoe. Charles Hayter Verwood Dorst email charleshayter@ btinternet.com

Where would you put a dash in this sentence The gardener took the hoe and the shovel and began to plant the flowers?
If you meant "where would you put a comma in this sentence" then i would say "The gardener took the hose and the shovel, and began to plant the flowers" There is no dash (-) in the sentence, its a comma (,) which is needed. I hope that helped.

How do hoes work?
The hoe works by cutting the thin crust of soil that forms on the top of cultivated soil. In the process, the small weeds get cut in two, the stems separated from the root. You do it in the morning after the dew is gone, so that the sun dries the weeds out. This prevents the weed from growing again. The Dutch (push) hoe with a small fixed blade or the double-sided (push-pull) hoe with a moving blade are the best for this purpose. When the weeds are too big, you need to dig deeper with the hoe or use a standard garden (pull) hoe, which has a much stronger and bigger blade.
