Ho-Mi Diggers The Ho-Mi digger(pronounced Ho-Mi and meaning little ground spear in Korea) was first made in Korea during the Bronze Age. The tool has been a standard for 5000 years. Strong, yet light, it is hand forged from steel with a sturdy tang well fixed in the handle. The miniature plowshare design makes it perfect for opening the soil for seeding or setting out transplants, for weeding and for planting bulbs. The unique shape allows you to do many tasks(hilling, digging, weeding, and planting) with only one tool. Blade is 6.7" long and 3.1" wide. "Heavy duty and slanted just right, this Korean workhorse is a farmers tool for avid gardeners. If your soil is heavy or rocky, it slices right through... It is weighted to keep wrist motion at a minimum so if you are battling either arthritis or carpel tunnel...this will certainly be easier for you. Used on the pull stroke. Good for digging, thinning, transplanting and opening and closing rows of soil. Its also called EZ-Digger."
