Have you heard the old gardener’s adage? One year’s seeding equals ten years’ weeding! It's so important to get those weeds before they go to seed. If you don't, the problem just compounds year on year.
We regularly use hoes for annual weeds, particularly in spring when new growth is coming on fast - its a real time saver to get them under control before they become a much bigger problem. Where they have been let go, frequent hoeing is a great way to regain the upper hand.
A push hoe is an extremely effective weeding tool, sharp on all sides, allowing you to cut both on the push stroke and the pull stroke.
The difference between the Heart-Shaped Hoe and a standard push hoe is that the pointy tip of the heart-shaped head allows you to get into tight spots between plants in an ornamental border, without inadvertently doing damage to neighbouring plants. It's much easier to maneuver than a larger rectangular head.
For all you tall folks, the Sneeboer push hoes have the longest handles - which means you won’t have to bend over so much! It also allows you to reach to the back of most beds without having to walk into them.
All Sneeboer long-handled tools are finished with a round ball at the end of the handle. This serves as a grip and, when scuffling, provides a physical reminder that your hand is at the end of the handle. So smart! The longer-than-usual handles mean that you can work in a more upright position, minimizing backache. An especially great feature for tall folks.
