Hoe - Weed Chopper - Galvanized - 16 centimeters - Without handle

Enlarge your range of garden tools with this loose weed chopper from Talen Tools. Supplied without a handle, so you can easily alternate with other stalked tools. Unlike a hoe, the blade of the hoe stands backwards. You pull the hoe towards you to remove weeds in the garden or around the borders of your lawn or flower bed. Because you create more impact with the chopping motion than pushing a hoe, the hoe is better to use in heavy soil. Thus, a hoe can also be used in clay and loamy soil. To strengthen the steel and protect it from rust, this hoe is made of galvanized steel.

Removing weeds with a hoe
Cut weeds below the root, by chopping the work surface into the ground. Weeding is preferably done with some regularity, because smaller weeds are easier to chop away than weeds that have already grown a lot bigger. To keep the soil from becoming too heavy, it is advisable to chop mainly in dry weather. Always chop forward. Chopping backwards creates even more of a mess because you are then chopping the removed weeds again. Chop in narrow strips, which works well with a work surface 16 centimeters wide. The narrow width reduces the chance of damaging surrounding trees and plants.

Loosening the soil
It is not the main feature of the hoe, but it also manages to loosen the soil superficially. When you keep this up regularly, you improve the health of the subsoil. This is because there is again more room for oxygen, moisture and light. The soil becomes more fertile, allowing plants and flowers to grow healthier again. This weed hook from Talen Tools mounts on stems with a diameter of 28 millimeters. Determine in advance whether your stem fits your height. When you work with the chopper also in heavier soil, it is important to also keep an eye on the condition of the stem. You keep the shaft in good condition longer when wax is applied to the wood. This wax repels water and dirt and makes the wood stronger.
