Everything about Hoe Tool totally explained
Hoes are used to:
- agitate the surface of the soil around plants, to remove weeds
- pile soil around the base of plants (hilling);
- create narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for planting seeds and bulbs;
- generally dig and move soil (for example harvesting potatoes), and chop weeds, roots and crop residues.
There are many types of blade of quite different appearance and purpose. Some can perform multiple functions. Others are intended for a specific use (for example the
collinear hoe has a narrow, razor-sharp blade which is used to slice weeds by skimming it just above the surface of the soil with a sweeping motion; it's unsuitable for tasks like soil moving and chopping). The typical farming and gardening hoe with a heavy, broad delta-shaped blade and a flat edge is the Dego hoe.
The Dutch hoe (scuffle, action, oscillating, swivel, or hula hoe) is a design that's pushed or pulled through the soil to cut weeds just under the surface. Its tool-head is a loop of flat, sharpened strap metal. It isn't as efficient as a chopping hoe for pulling or pushing soil.
