This large traditional De Pypere hoe with an ash handle is ideal for removing weeds, raking or weeding, and even aerating and loosening the surface soil. Its half-moon shaped head is hand-forged, with a steel body and a boron steel finish. This is a lightweight, easy to handle, sturdy, well-made tool that will last for many years.
Dimensions: head width: 10cm (4in) x 4cm (2in). Handle length: 1.40m (5ft) (suited for tall individuals)
The large hoe is one of the essential tools for gardening, and one of the first to acquire due to its versatility. It 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. It is a dual-purpose tool. The half-moon side of the head allows for cultivating the soil, scraping the surface, hoeing, and earthing up, which means piling up soil around the base of the plants. The pointed sides are used for weeding in the gaps of pavements, removing the roots of 'weeds', and loosening the surface soil. In the vegetable garden, the hoe is used to dig a furrow in the soil to prepare for sowing, aligned with a line marked with a cord. This hoe is good for working the soil in small spaces and can manoeuvre around plants that are too close together for a wider hoe to pass through. The handle of this hoe has a hole at the top, allowing it to be hung on a nail. It is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable.
The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all forged in steel and equipped with applied handles.
This tool is under warranty. The warranty does not apply to handles or grips, only to the metal parts, except consumables (screws, springs, etc.), and within the scope of normal use.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
