| Hoe |

comes in many types. One of the best is the Dutch hoe, which has the blade set in approximately the same plane as the handle and is used by pushing with a chopping movement. Another excellent model, the "Swoe" - made by a firm who formerly made swords - looks like a golf putter with a long handle and is sharp on both sides of the blade so that it can be worked both forwards and backwards. Light and strong, it covers ground rapidly without damaging plants |
