Leborgne NaturOvert V-blade Hoe

The Naturovert V-bladed hoe from Leborgne, designed for precision weeding, is a high-quality tool that emphasizes the robustness of materials and the quality of assembly. Ergonomics is not forgotten thanks to an extra-long handle that allows the user to work standing up and spare their back. Its narrow, sharp, and rigid blade is very effective for cleaning between paving stones, slabs, and along edges, as well as for removing unwanted plants from the garden, including in compact soils.

This model consists of a 150cm (59in) long wooden handle, sourced from sustainably managed forests (100% PEFC), with a "pommel" end that is drilled for easy storage. It has a reinforced tubular socket where the head, made from a high-carbon steel blade (45 HRC) that is fully tempered, sharpened on 3 sides, and resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion, is attached. The blade of this Naturovert hoe has one open side for surface weeding between the garden plants without damaging them, and a V-shaped tip for uprooting tough weeds with taproots (dock, plantain, dandelions, etc.). This tool is ideal for maintaining paved paths, patios, petanque courts, and gravel driveways. The wooden handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable. This tool, assembled in France, is backed by a 15-year warranty from the manufacturer.

Dimensions: total length 168cm (66in), weight 1.025Kg

The hoe is an essential tool, designed both for weeding the vegetable garden or ornamental garden without 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, with hoeing meaning "to do twice". After hoeing, which involves cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck level on the soil surface, the gardener uses the hoe for the second time to remove their roots and also to loosen and break up the top layer of soil. This aerates the soil around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. According to the old saying, "one hoeing is worth two waterings": indeed, under the action of watering or rain, clayey or silty soil tends to harden as it dries, forming what is called a surface crust. This crust is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, and it also promotes water runoff and evaporation. Breaking it up after watering limits water evaporation.
