Product Information

It is a very beautiful setting for the piece and I was thrilled that Sara has planted wildflowers in the lawns around the foal sculpture.

The bill began as a ‘finger’ from a combine harvester, the point through which the recipricol blades slide back and forth to cut through the crop. Not only do you get all that short handed draw hoe heavy duty action, Lonyota have also added a handy two in one feature by giving you a rake as well. We will also show you how your old garden hoes can be made more efficient, and how to pick replacements for the hopeless ones in your tool pile. Not just storing it in a dry place away from the elements (which is pretty obvious stuff) but sharpening the blade too.

Plus it’s heavy, which means it will take its toll on your shoulders and arms after a full day’s graft. We tested a range of dutch hoe brands, using them in different gardens and situations to help you find the right one for your garden. This oscillating hoe by Fiskars is designed to make light work of weed roots without harming plants and flowers – I’d say of all the oscillating hoes this is the one that delivers on that.

Burgon and Ball’s stainless steal blade is very sharp and slices through light weeds easily, although it can catch on tougher patches. The long handle of a garden hoe also makes it more comfortable to use than other handheld de-weeding tools because you can work standing up straight, rather than bent over. Even though they have roots in ancient times, they still play a useful part in today's garden; with our wide range of hoes, you will be sure to find the right product for you. 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 foal sculpture is visible from the house and stands overlooking some of the stud fields where the broodmares and foals graze. The handle has been treated with a clear lacquer for extra protection against decay from the weather. I used steel cable for the characteristic tufts on the ears and bow saw blades for other fur-like texture in places. To achieve your desired degree of curve, the blade can be installed either on the inside or outside of the frame. As I'm sure you figured out from reading this far, the answer is either "It depends" or "A couple different ones".

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. The blade is made of heat treated steel taking care of tasks like digging and shaping soil as well as taking on large weed roots and small tree roots – you can keep it as sharp as you like because the heat treat is bang on – and I think it justifies being the best draw hoe if I’m honest. It’s quite tricky capturing the way that the frog folds its back legs when at rest, especially when using old tools!This dutch hoe has been developed by Spear and Jackson with the help of the guys from the Kew Gardens horticultural team and in my mind the best overall garden hoe.

I will have eight pieces on show there but it is well worth a visit if you are keen on all kinds of art inspired by the natural world as there are over 350 catalogued works by numerous artists in addition to unframed project work in the Out of the Frame room which includes work by the amazing Ben Woodhams SWLA. But there are three main types of hoes worth knowing about as knowing how they work then means you know how to choose the right tool for the job. The hand-forged blade of the Sneeboer Royal Dutch Hoe has sharp teeth and cut effortlessly throughout our testing. The Oscillating Hoe has a razor sharp blade that travels below the soil surface and slices through the weeds where they are most vunerable - below ground. Nevertheless, I really like this tool because it makes it very easy to use for extended periods of time and does exactly what it’s designed to do.While lighter models are used close to crop plants to weed the uppermost layer of soil without damaging your crop's roots.
