What is weed hoe?

weed hoes, sometimes called the Dutch hoe, is a gardening tool that is designed to cut under the surface of the soil. It is similar to standard garden motyi, but instead of flat metal blades in the head, weed hoe sports metal strap or caliper. When pushed or pulled, a sharp flat strap plans to plant the roots of weeds below the soil surface. Gardener can easily pull out weeds from the garden soil. The use of a hoe is easier than a hand weed because it does not require continuous bending and jerking that can cause injury or exhaustion of the back.

Mother is an ancient instrument mentioned in the code of Hammurabi from the 17th century B.C. and the Hebrew prophet Isaiah during the eighth century B.C. The ancient Egyptians used a wooden hand by a motykové small woman for hacking weeds and digging into the soil for planting seeds. Mother was one of the many garden tools developed to improve the efficiency and work of soil cultivation. From St.andard, flat hoe of the head jumped a series of garden hoes: GrubbinG motye, which has a strong flattened button similar to selective sequences, suitable for digging thick roots or stumps; Hoedian hoe or weed; Hula hoe, a hoe similar to the weed motor, but with a swivel head; And the tape of Motya, which carries a sharpened flat head, which is located with a perpendicular to its wooden handle.

with the development of mechanized agricultural tools such as a tractor and cultivator, the extensive use of weed hoes and other hand -intensive work tools have decreased. For smaller land and home gardens, however, weed hoes are important equipment in the repertoire of the gardener. This type of hoe is most effective in eliminating plants that have fibrous root systems. The sharp metal edge of the hoe easily slips under the roots of the hair. Simple pulling backwards shake the roots and the plant is easily removed from the garden.

Weed hoes are less effective on weeds that have tough taproots. WeedE, such as burdock or dandelion, often pierces deep into the soil. Weed hoe can easily interrupt Taproot, but weeds can grow back because some of the living weeds are still in the soil. Weed hoes are generally less common than standard flat head hoes, because weed holes are suitable for only one purpose: removal of weeds. This type of hoe is not able to demolish the soil or dig narrow trenches - tasks for which the standard hoe is well suitable.
