A hoe is an essential tool, designed both for weeding the vegetable garden or ornamental garden without resorting to the use of chemical products and for working the soil on the surface. Hoeing has been part of the gardener's vocabulary since the Middle Ages, the action of hoeing meaning "to do twice". After hoeing, which means cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck, the gardener can use the hoe for the second time to remove their roots, but also to loosen and loosen the surface layer of soil. The soil is thus aerated all around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. According to the old saying, "A 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 re-moisten and suffocating for plants, which also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Breaking this crust after watering limits 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 resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion is fixed. 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.
