A garden claw is an essential tool, especially for maintaining the soil between vegetables and flowers grown in pots or in open ground. It weeds, loosens, and refines soil texture after using a spade, fork, or pickaxe, creating a favourable environment for sowing, germination, and the development of young roots. The Eco 1-tine Cultivator by De Pypere can be used for both scratching and loosening the soil, thanks to its forked tine.

This tool consists of a short handle made from ash, a wood known for its hardness. it has a socket where the forged steel blade is attached. The end of this blade is formed by two curved, pointed, and hooked teeth. This tool can manoeuvre around plants and in the gaps between paving stones to aerate the soil and remove young weeds, which can then be collected. It is suitable for working in light soils. The handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable. The garden claw is sometimes called a garden crook, cultivator, claw-hoe or hoe-rake.
