The Dutch hoe is a tool designed both for weeding the vegetable garden or ornamental garden without the use of chemicals and for working the soil surface. Hoeing has been part of the gardener's vocabulary since the Middle Ages, with hoeing meaning "doing twice". After hoeing, cutting the weeds with a sharp blow at the neck, the gardener can use the hoe for the second time to remove their roots and to loosen and break up the surface layer of the soil. The soil is thus aerated all around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. According to the old saying, "hoeing is worth two waterings". After watering or rain, clayey or loamy soil tends to harden when drying, forming 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 a long ash handle, known for its hardness and resistance to weathering, with a socket where the forged head is fixed, made of tempered polished 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.
