Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. Long handles allow you to stand in the proper upright ergonomic position while you dig, cultivate, or weed. Lazy beds or potato ridges are still in use to day as a perfect way to grow root crops and allow excess water to drain away. A shorter handle will work, but it is less ergonomic, harder on your back, and requires more effort. If at any stage the product gets wet and then dries, or is subject to a period of hot or cold weather, the wood can expand and contract.Weeding hoes are the most common, and they have a sharp angled blade that slices along the upper layer of soil to cut or uproot weeds. Efficiently Designed, this garden digging hoe excels in various tasks, from digging to weeding, making it a must-have for garden enthusiasts. It's design allows you to do these tasks with ease and at speeds which can be 3 or more times faster than your traditional garden spade and this is proven. For chopping and digging into the soil, the hoe's head should be heavy (a half pound per inch of width is best). With this you can easily form shallow grooves in the soil for seed trenches, dig deeper and wider drainage channels so you can scoop the soil out to form your lazy beds or potato ridges.

Secondly it is of exceptional quality and having been used for centuries in Japanese gardens has stood the test of time. With this well designed garden tool in your armoury, you may well find that some of the other more conventional garden tools you own become slightly redundant!

For a permanent fitting it may be preferable to implement additional fixing methods such as locking wedges or to drill and pin the head. Hand-forged from a solid piece of carbon steel, this lightweight digging hoe is ideal for use over long periods. Garden Hoes are traditional hand tools which have been used for many years in a variety of ways, including shaping and clearing soil, removing weeds, and harvesting root crops. We use bubble wrap or other suitable packaging materials and then put your items in relevant-sized boxes. In contrast, the ergonomic handle provides comfortable and effective leverage for all your gardening needs.
