Product Information

The Dutch garden hoe has a long handle, usually made of wood or metal, and a rectangular blade that is attached to the handle at a right angle. For my DT homework for school we have been asked to choose a designer and produce an informative sheet/leaflet explaining and showing what they do. I used steel cable for the characteristic tufts on the ears and bow saw blades for other fur-like texture in places. It’s not the end of the world but it just would have made more sense to me to make it the same size. I hope that after reading this guide we have helped you decide which tool is best suited for your needs and you can agree that it’s definitely better to work smarter and not harder.

com sells a variety of heavy-duty tools for gardening, landscaping, construction, and small-scale agriculture. You will find that the carbon steel will possibly rust a bit quicker if it’s not taken care of but it’s definitely more robust and hard wearing that stainless steel. Comfort: Assessed how comfortable the hoe was to hold and use, taking into account the weight, size, handle length, ergonomics and grip. Ok, it’s not gonna get you through planks of wood but it tackles reasonable sized tree roots which gives you an idea of how robust and powerful this tool really is.

The blade is sharpened on both sides, with one side being slightly curved to provide a cutting edge. The double edged stainless steel blade allows excellent cutting on both the push and the pull movements.

Used standing upright, a Dutch hoe has a sharp, wide and open blade that skims just below the surface of the soil to sever weeds from their roots.Secondly if I am only going to tackle small to medium sized weeds and not tree roots then I’m not going to jump round the site with heavy duty draw hoe. The annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists is held at the prestigious Mall Galleries and runs from Thursday 19th to Sunday 29th October (closes 1pm).

The blade’s flat shape allows the gardener to easily slide it just below the soil’s surface, cutting the weeds’ roots and loosening the soil.

So it is the very fact that the old tools are made of steel that I use them, not because they are recycled.

Burgon and Ball’s stainless steal blade is very sharp and slices through light weeds easily, although it can catch on tougher patches. I don’t always make exciting big animals like some other artists (lots of wildlife artists paint lions, tigers and eagles) for me I find an ant or a lizard as interesting as a giraffe. those practicing small-scale agriculture, and by normal gardeners who want to avoid the cost and hassles of gas powered equipment. Once you've finished sharpening, oil the blade and wooden handle with Boiled Linseed oil and then wipe off any excess.

This means that a 4" wide blade needs to weigh 2 pounds, and a 6" wide head needs to weigh 3 pounds.
