Loop Hoe

A loop hoe, also known as a stirrup hoe or oscillating hoe, is a gardening tool with a loop-shaped blade that cuts through weeds just below the soil surface as it is pushed or pulled. The oscillating motion allows the blade to glide through the soil easily, making it effective for removing weeds without disturbing the surrounding plants. Loop hoes are essential for maintaining weed-free garden beds and pathways, especially in areas with closely spaced plants. They are particularly useful in vegetable gardens and flower beds, where precise weeding is necessary to avoid damaging crops or flowers. The design of the loop hoe makes it easy to use for extended periods, reducing strain on the user.
