 Try a long handled diamond hoe for weeding
Blades on chopping hoes, such as a rectangular onion hoe, are set at a sharp angle to the ground and are designed to move more soil than weeding hoes.
The long handled diamond hoe is a weeding hoe, as are the stirrup hoe (also called the action, oscillating, swivel, scuffle, or hula hoe), the circle hoe, and Eliot Coleman’s collinear hoe.
To prevent fatigue and soreness, it helps to use a weeding hoe instead of a chopping hoe because you skim it along the ground or slightly beneath the surface instead of repeatedly lifting the hoe and moving a lot of soil.

 Richard March Hoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the son of Robert Hoe (1784-1833), an English-born American mechanic, who with his brothers-in-law, Peter and Matthew Smith, established in New York City a manufactory of printing presses, and used steam to run his machinery.
He discarded the old flat-bed model and placed the type on a revolving cylinder, a model later developed into the well-known Hoe rotary or lightning press, patented in 1846, and further improved under the name of the Hoe web perfecting press.
His nephew, Robert Hoe (1839-1909), wrote a notable Short History of the Printing Press in 1902 and made further improvements in printing.

 Diabetes Care: Efficacy and Safety of HOE 901 Versus NPH Insul... @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The investigational drug HOE 901 is a new long-acting insulin analog with COOH-terminal elongation of the B-chain by two arginines and replacement of asparagine in position A21 by glycine [6].
HOE 901 appeared to have a clear advantage compared with NPH insulin once daily but the total number of patients with nocturnal hypoglycemia was very similar when HOE 901 was compared with NPH insulin twice daily (Table 4).
This difference involved HOE 901 versus NPH insulin once daily only The analysis of hypoglycemic episodes was initially planned not only globally for the entire treatment period but also selectively for the final week of the study (i.e., the maintenance phase) when the dose of basal insulin was to be kept constant.

 Use of the rotary hoe
Rotary hoeing is effective in controlling small weeds, <0.5" tall, in the white pre-emergent shoot stage.
Hoeing can be take place before the crop has emerged, and after.
Because there is normally a short window of opportunity when rotary hoeing will give the best results, the wider the hoe you have, the more ground you can cover during that window.

 Weed Control   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
For cultivating, an effective hoe is sharp; angled for drawing, not chopping; slim, so as not to bulldoze soil onto the vegetable plants; and accurate, so as to pass between the crop rows without damage.
Using this collineal hoe with the proper angle and a thin, sharp blade is like dancing with a skilled partner, and just as enjoyable.
We use this hoe while moving down the paths backward, working the hinged action of the hoe back and forth in the compacted soil.

 Recording Material Selection
For HOEs, the extended range of properties that may require manipulation and the choices of materials to obtain each property in the required quantity, makes a working knowledge of what can be done extremely useful.
In real materials the direction that light transits through the HOE makes a difference, sometimes a large difference, the efficiency of a grating can actually be greater in one direction because of gradients in the modulation and holographic mirrors often reflect different spectra on each side with different intensities.
Just about any HOE and some DOEs may be made in silver films but they will rarely be optimized for any enough properties and if they are bleached to get the highest efficiency then other sources of noise begin contributing and grain size may grow as well.

 Which Hoe to Use
The traditional hoe is of course that one with a wide blade, perhaps six inches wide, angled at a right angle to the handle.

A variation on the stirrup hoe has this same shape, only the lower blade is sharpened on both forward and back edges.
