The hoe is an essential tool in the garden, designed both for weeding without resorting to the use of chemicals, and for working topsoil. Hoeing has been part of the gardener's vocabulary since the Middle Ages, with hoeing meaning "doing twice". After hoeing, which involves cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck, the gardener uses the hoe for the second time to dislodge their roots, as well as to loosen and aerate the surface layer of soil. This aerates the soil around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. The old saying, "one hoeing is worth two waterings", is worth following. 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, while also leading to water evaporation. Breaking this crust after watering limits water evaporation. This model is equipped with a solid and lightweight beech wood handle. The collar socket where the steel head is attached is resistant to both shock and torsion. Its sharpened stainless-steel blade is resistant to corrosion. A ring at the end of the handle facilitates tool storage. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.

Directions for use The hoe is an essential tool in the garden, designed both for weeding without resorting to the use of chemicals, and for working topsoil. After digging or hoeing, which means cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck, the gardener uses the hoe to dislodge their roots, as well as to loosen, aerate, and break up the superficial layer of soil. 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, while also leading to water evaporation. Breaking this crust after watering limits water evaporation. Store your tool in a dry place, protected from sunlight and bad weather.
