At under a kilo in weight, well balanced and with a long, lime wood staff, we find this tool very useful on the vegetable plot. We use it for everything from uprooting perennial weeds, to hoeing drills, to earthing up the potatoes. The sides and point of the blade are sharp, enabling it to dig into the soil for weeding, and used sideways, it spreads the soil afterwards.

Sculptor Hoe

Like Sirius, with extra rivets and silver and gold solder on the head. The rivets contain trace elements such as aluminium, chromium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, vanadium and zinc. As the tool is used, these trace elements come into contact with the earth, helping to maintain the health of both soil and plants.
