The hoe is a tool designed for weeding the vegetable garden or ornamental garden without the use of chemicals and for working the soil on the surface. Hoeing has been part of the gardener's vocabulary since the Middle Ages, the action of hoeing meaning "to do twice". After hoeing, which means cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck, the gardener uses the hoe for the second time to dislodge their roots, but also to loosen and break up the surface layer of soil. The soil is thus aerated all around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. According to the old saying, "one hoeing is worth two waterings": under the action of watering or rain, a clayey or loamy soil tends to harden when drying, forming what is called a compacted crust that is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, which also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Breaking this crust after watering limits water evaporation. This model consists of an ash handle, known for its hardness and resistance to weathering, with a socket where the forged head is fixed, made of mirror-polished, hardened stainless steel offering less resistance to penetration into the soil and capable of withstanding shocks, torsion and corrosion. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.
