Hoe

A hoe is a hand tool with a long handle and a flat, angled blade, used in landscaping and gardening for cultivating soil, removing weeds, and shaping soil beds. It is particularly useful for breaking up compacted soil, creating furrows for planting, and clearing debris. Hoes come in various designs, including draw hoes, scuffle hoes, and stirrup hoes, each suited to different tasks. The hoe’s versatility and ease of use make it an essential tool for preparing and maintaining garden beds, ensuring that soil is well-aerated and free of unwanted plants. Its long handle allows for comfortable, upright use, reducing strain during extended work.
