Phoenix and Polux Hoes

 

Polux Garden Hoe

Like Phoenix but with a single prong. We find that this tool is more suitable for stony or more friable soil, and for more careful gardening.

 

 

 Some feedback about the Polux Hoe …

 

“Here at Chalice Well Gardens, I’ve been using copper tools for some time, as they fit well into the ethos of this place. I must say that they are a joy to use. The Castor trowel, which I’ve had for a few years has rarely left my side! It slides into the soil easily, and I have proven time and time again its ability to deter slugs from gobbling up all of my precious plants. Many visitors have commented when they see me using it, and I have passed them onto the website so they can get their own.

I had thought I had finally found the ultimate hand tool until I bought a Pollux hoe. This has now become my favourite hand tool, and I use it every day. The single spur is great at grubbing out weeds, and the diamond-shaped blade is good for larger plants, and can also be used for transplanting. I thoroughly recommend this hand hoe.

There is also a longer version of the Phoenix and Polux Hoes, with a limewood shaft. Here is the Long Polux Hoe, (which we use to hoe the onion bed) next to the Perseus Rake and Pegasus Pick. Long Phoenix and Polux are so lightweight, giving us easy reach to the back of the flower border or the other side of the vegetable bed.

Phoenix Garden Hoe

This is a convenient tool for precision work in the garden. The two 3-inch prongs loosen compacted soil, and the blade can dig out stubborn weeds. The diamond-shaped head can also be used to transplant young plants, then the whole tool is useful to tamp down the soil. Handle made of turned beechwood.
