Its robust construction provides the stability needed for regular soil cultivation tasks in home gardens.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this push hoe is its efficient design, which utilizes a pushing action to cut through weeds just below the soil surface.

How to use

To use the GARDENA push hoe, attach it to a compatible handle if not already equipped. Place the blade flat against the soil surface in the area you wish to weed. Apply a steady, forward-pushing motion to slice through the weeds just beneath the surface. Work in consistent rows to cover the desired area efficiently, ensuring the blade remains in contact with the ground for optimal results.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have a compatible handle for the tool head
• Check if the 180 mm width is appropriate for your garden bed spacing
• Verify that your soil type is suitable for surface weeding

Usage recommendations: For the best results, use the push hoe on dry or slightly moist soil. Regularly clean the steel blade after each use to prevent soil buildup and rust, and store the tool in a dry place to maintain its longevity.
