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.
