The hoe is a basic tool designed both for weeding without the use of chemicals and for surface soil cultivation. Its heavy and long head is specifically designed to break up the surface and deeply penetrate even compact and heavy soils, thanks to its tapered blade at the rounded end. Closer to a pickaxe than a hoe, it allows for crumbling and loosening the top layer of soil after digging, uprooting unwanted plants, hilling up vegetables by forming mounds around their base, as well as digging shallow planting holes and furrows. Like a hoe, it serves to loosen and aerate the top layer of soil, ensuring that the soil around cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden remains well-aerated. It also helps prevent the formation of a compacted layer that occurs due to watering or rain in clayey or loamy soils. This hard and compact layer, which is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Working the surface soil after watering limits water evaporation. Its large dimensions and weight make it a perfect tool for quickly working the surface soil and breaking up clumps.
