The hoe is an essential tool, designed for weeding the vegetable or ornamental garden without the use of chemicals and for working the soil surface. Hoeing has been part of the gardener's vocabulary since the Middle Ages, with hoeing meaning "doing twice". After hoeing, cutting the weeds sharply at the neck, the gardener uses the hoe for the second time to remove their roots, as well as to loosen and loosen the surface layer of soil. This aerates the soil around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. According to the old saying, "Hoeing is worth two waterings": after watering or rain, clay or loamy soil tends to harden when drying, forming a compacted crust that is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, which also promotes water run off and evaporation. Breaking this crust after watering reduces water evaporation. The hoe consists of a long handle made of natural ash, known for its hardness, with a socket where the forged head made of hardened steel that is resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion is attached. The handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable.

The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all made of forged steel and equipped with ash handles. The hardened boron steel coating on the blades is very hard and resistant, making it a valuable material for tools that can be heavily used in the garden.

This tool is under warranty. The warranty does not apply to handles or grips, only to the metal parts excluding consumables (screws, springs, other) and within the scope of normal use.

Directions for use The hoe is an essential tool, designed for weeding the vegetable or ornamental garden without the use of chemical products and for working the soil surface. After digging or hoeing, cutting weeds off at the neck with a sharp blow, the gardener can use the hoe to dislodge their roots, but also to loosen, aerate, and break up the surface layer of the soil. The half-moon-shaped head is also used for earthing up and raking. According to the old saying, "Hoeing is worth two waterings": after watering or rain, a clayey or loamy soil tends to harden when drying, forming a compacted crust that is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants. Compacted soil also promotes the run off of water and its evaporation. By preventing the formation of this crust after watering, the evaporation of water is reduced.
