Mother Earth News had an article on garden hoes is the recent issue. I can't believe that they left out my all time favorite hoe!
At left is the Amish Made Garden Hoe sold by Lehman's Hardware. It's lightweight, well made, and perfectly balanced. My all time favorite hoe.
My second favorite hoe is the Italian Grape Hoe, also sold by Lehman's. It's perfect for catching up on weeding that has gotten ahead of you. This picture is from the Lehman's website. My hoe lost all the paiint on the blade and shank a long time ago.
GRASS SHEARS
We cut and chop greens for our chickens and ducks daily. Even though they are on pasture every day, we cut a bucket of greens for them in the evening.
The Garden Pals #31110 Pro Hot Forged Grass Shears are great for this. The oldest pair just seems to get better with use.
