The hand hoe is one of the essential tools when gardening, and one of the first to acquire due to its versatility. It consists of a natural ash handle, known for its hardness, with a socket where the forged head is fixed in a hardened steel that is resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion. It is a double-headed and dual-purpose tool. The flat and square side of the head, called the hoe, weeds by scraping the surface of the soil, hoeing, and hilling, which means piling up the soil around the base of the plants, or digging the soil. Meanwhile, the pointed side, called the pick, picks or loosens the soil on the surface by dislodging the roots of 'weeds'. In the vegetable garden, the tool can be used to dig a furrow in the soil for sowing, aligned with a line that has been marked with a cord. Precious for working the soil in small spaces, this tool can manoeuvre around plants that are too close together for a wider hoe to pass through. With its short handle, this model is particularly suitable for raised vegetable or flower beds. Remember to work in a crouched position if you are cleaning a traditional flower bed to protect your back. The handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable.

The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all made of forged steel and equipped with ash handles.
