The draw hoe is a basic tool, designed for weeding without the use of chemicals and for working the soil surface. Its heavy, wide head is specially adapted for breaking up the surface and deeply opening even compact and heavy soils. Closer to a pickaxe than a hoe, it can be used to crumble and lighten the top layer of soil after digging, uproot weeds, earth up vegetables, which means gathering soil around their base, or even digging shallow planting holes and furrows. Like other hoes, the draw hoe can be used to loosen the top layer of soil to aerate all around the cultivated plants in the vegetable or ornamental garden. It also helps prevent the formation of a compacted layer that appears after watering or rain in clayey or loamy soils. This hard and compact layer, very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Working the soil on the surface after watering limits water evaporation. This model is equipped with a hand-forged steel head in the shape of a dovetail for better wear resistance. Its large dimensions make it a perfect tool for quickly working the soil surface and breaking up clods. Its flag-shaped socket ensures a perfectly stable connection between the head and the handle. 135 cm long and lightweight, it guarantees a comfortable grip and will protect your back.
