The hoe is an essential tool, designed both for weeding the vegetable garden or ornamental garden without resorting to 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 the action of hoeing meaning "to do twice". After hoeing, which means cutting the weeds cleanly at the neck level at the soil surface, the gardener uses the hoe for the second time to dislodge their roots, but also to loosen and loosen the surface layer of soil. The soil is thus aerated all 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 loamy soil tends to harden when drying, forming what is called a surface crust. Very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, this crust also promotes the upward movement of water and its evaporation. Breaking it up after watering limits water evaporation. This model consists of a long eucalyptus handle, which is 15 to 20% more resistant than ash or beech. It has a socket sleeve where the tempered steel head is fixed, which is resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.
