The hoe is one of the essential tools when gardening, and one of the first to acquire due to its versatility. This model, manufactured in Austria, consists of a 30cm (12in) beech handle. It is a double-headed and dual-purpose tool. The flat and triangular side of the head, with a double-edged blade called a hoe, allows for tilling the soil, which means weeding by scraping the surface of the soil, hoeing, which means piling up soil on the base of plants, or digging the soil. Meanwhile, the two-pronged fork-shaped side in a dovetail shape scrapes or loosens the surface soil by dislodging the roots of 'weeds' without harming the roots of well-established plants. In the vegetable garden, the hoe is used to dig a furrow in the soil to prepare for sowing, in line with a marked line using a cord. Precious for working the soil in small spaces, this hoe can maneuver around plants that are too close together for a wider hoe to pass through. The handle of this hoe is compostable, and the copper alloy head is recyclable.
