if a person's hoe (gardening tool) struck the shell of a grenade, would it set it off?

No. Not as long as the lever/spoon is not jarred out of place.

MS, that is unless Radien is talking about unexploded ordinance as is commonly found throughout Europe left over from the World Wars, in which case disturbing the grenade may be enough to release the firing pin.
