Hoes & Cultivators

A good hoe is one of the hardest working tools in the garden — chopping weeds, hilling rows, breaking up crusted soil, and shaping beds all come down to the right blade for the job. Standard garden hoes, weeding hoes, serrated hoe picks, butterfly hoes, and three-tine cultivators each handle different tasks and soil conditions. For row gardening and larger vegetable plots, a long-handle hoe keeps your back straight and covers ground fast. For working between established plants, a hand cultivator gets in close without disturbing roots.
