hoe Hoes are generally designed either for weeding (to slice weeds at or just below ground level) or for chopping (to cut up weeds and cultivate or disturb the soil surface).

Like the collinear hoe, a hoe used for weeding by skimming it back and forth along the ground or slightly beneath the surface instead of repeatedly lifting the hoe and moving a lot of soil. www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/H/AE_hoe.html   (801 words)

Timeworn tool evokes a hoe history lesson : Local Columns : Evansville Courier Press That's kind of a lighter version of a grubbing hoe and was meant for whacking off bush sprouts that haven't yet advanced to the size that require the larger, heavier grubbing hoe. The heyday of grubbing and sprouting hoes predates me by at least a few decades, but I reckon in the days before bush hogs and tractor-driven sickle mowers, farmers used to walk their fields and grub out the bushes. But hoes, and especially grubbing hoes, were important pieces of equipment around farms up through the middle of the last century. www.courierpress.com /news/2006/aug/21/timeworn-tool-evokes-a-hoe-history-lesson   (697 words)

Seeds of Change 100% Organic Seeds The Japanese-made Farmer's Hoe, also referred to as a grub hoe or eye hoe, is the supreme hand tool for moving large amounts of dirt and re-shaping the land in any way you desire, such as creating a set of terraces and swales in a permaculture design. The advantage of this tool, over all the other variations of hoes, picks, and mattocks that are used for the same purpose, is that it has superior balance and requires less effort to get the job done. The Dutch Hoe performs similar functions, although its 6-inch-wide straight blade, which is mounted on a 5-foot wooden shaft, only works on the push stroke, and can be a little more effective than the Weed Shredder for cutting stubborn roots, and is also useful for shaping beds. www.seedsofchange.com /enewsletter/issue_41/garden_tools.asp   (2929 words)

What is a Hoe? A hoe will work best if its blade is kept sharp, and it should be cleaned after each use and protected from the weather to prevent rust.

There are floral hoes for weeding flower beds; the onion or Southern hoe, made for shallow weeding and fitting between onions when turned sideways; and beet/turnip hoes with triangular blades. www.wisegeek.com /what-is-a-hoe.htm   (458 words)
