If youve never tried a circular hoe hand weeder and cultivator, you are in for a treat. Makes weeding by hand much easier as you use the pointed end to drag at ground level and cut off weeds at the roots. Super strong solid steel shank and blade with beech hardwood handle. Circle shape of the hoe with sharpened edge lets you pull the tool through the soil to cut weeds and loosen the soil without making a big mess or creating piles of dirt. Edge is sharp on the bottom only, so it cuts roots under the ground. All other edges are rounded, so it wont hurt nearby plants that you want to keep.
