Its copper alloy head, 18cm (7in) long and 14cm (6in) wide, facilitates soil cultivation. Ideally used for soil aeration, hilling crops such as beans and potatoes, creating furrows, and cutting the strongest roots. The copper alloy head, which deposits micro particles in the soil over time, helps enrich it with this natural constituent of the soil. This is a high-quality hoe, suitable for regular use in the garden. 2-year warranty.

The hoe is a basic tool, designed both for weed control without the use of chemicals and for surface soil cultivation. Its heavy and wide head is specifically designed to break up the surface and deeply aerate even compact and heavy soils, thanks to its sharp blade on both sides. More similar to a pickaxe than a hoe, it crumbles and lightens the top layer of soil after digging, uproots unwanted plants, hills vegetables by gathering soil around their base, and creates shallow planting holes and furrows. Like a hoe, it is used to loosen and break up the top layer of soil, aerating the soil around cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. It also prevents the formation of a compacted layer that appears under the action of watering or rain in clayey or loamy soils. This hard and compacted layer, which is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, also promotes water rising to the surface and 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 clods. Its oval socket ensures a perfectly stable connection between the head and the ergonomic lime wood handle, providing a comfortable grip.
