  1. omg – I have this type of how for my 'very small' garden I use it about once a week to keep the weeds away – I have a near by high school weekend flea market – that's where I bought mine – doing my part in helping the neighborhood kids – I have been using it now for about 2.50 yrs and I still love it – best tool for my 'very small' garden and yes I too use a soft rake to rake up any weeds and or leaves – love how the garden looks after a good raking – dirt around everything looks nice and clean – Happy Garden Day – Keeping the Faith =)

  2. Nice review. I have used this hoe for years but am always looking for tips using my garden tools. Your video is excellent and helped me improve a couple things I was doing. I also like the use of a plastic rake which works much better than my higher-end metal rake. The lighter plastic rake for cleanup is excellent.

    What kind of plastic rake do you use as it looks like it has a white wood handle?

  3. Put a weed eater handle on it. You can adjust it to where you want it for better grip. Amazon sells a verity and different shapes. Thank you for the review.

  4. Good tip on the light rake… I also figure it's better to get the weeds out…. QUESTION: Wanting to minimize disturbance here, do you have any tips other than build your soil to have good structure and it'll be easy enough to not need to dig in? It looks like it roughs up the soil quite a bit. Also, not wanting to lose much soil I was worried about raking it away… but I see with that kind of rake the soil is put back in place as it separates the weeds – that is nice.

    How would you minimize soil disturbance and minimize removing soil? The rake goes a long way on the removal, but what about not messing up the top layer (Is that the humid layer?) ?

  5. Part of the back issue is your grip on the hoe. Most people grip a hoe incorrectly, as you do in the video. Your forward hand is upside down. The pinky side of your forward hand should be toward the ground, not your thumb. Correcting this will cause you to stand straighter with less back strain, and cause less hand fatigue as well.

  6. I found that wetting the garden area lightly before using this hoe can make a huge difference, especially if you have a lot of rick and hard clay in the soil. I believe that negative reviews are generally done by folk who simply had user error in what they did. This hoe works just fine for me and my flower beds had been filled in by the previous owner. She had put in a huge amount of red lava rock. This hoe will skim over the rocks at times, but when the garden has been moistened lightly first, it seems to work just fine.

  7. Thank you for this demonstration. I was so confused/undecided on which type of hoe to buy. I know this video is old, but since I'm new to gardening, this video is right on time for me. Thanks MI Gardener

  8. Just bought one and wish I had it sooner. 20 minutes and got centipede grass and heavy weeds out of over 1/2 of one bed. That would have taken me gours by hand and been hard on my back.
