The large hoe is one of the essential tools for gardening, and one of the first to acquire due to its versatility. It 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. It is a dual-purpose tool. The half-moon side of the head allows for cultivating the soil, scraping the surface, hoeing, and earthing up, which means piling up soil around the base of the plants. The pointed sides are used for weeding in the gaps of pavements, removing the roots of 'weeds', and loosening the surface soil. In the vegetable garden, the hoe is used to dig a furrow in the soil to prepare for sowing, aligned with a line marked with a cord. This hoe is good for working the soil in small spaces and can manoeuvre around plants that are too close together for a wider hoe to pass through. The handle of this hoe has a hole at the top, allowing it to be hung on a nail. It is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable.

The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all forged in steel and equipped with applied handles.

This tool is under warranty. The warranty does not apply to handles or grips, only to the metal parts, except consumables (screws, springs, etc.), and within the scope of normal use.
