The best garden hoes rated for price and quality (November 2020 Updated Review)
Best Garden Hoes Reviewed
Ask any gardener worth his salt which tools they class as important and I guarantee that a garden hoe will be high on that list. Hoes have been used since ancient times to clear or shape soil in preparation for planting, to remove weeds, to harvest potatoes and other root foods, as well many other uses. The design is simple enough, a blade on the end of a shaft, but a wide range of different sized and shaped blades have been used over time and across the world, for various purposes including weeding or breaking up soil like a fork or spade. The best garden hoes should be sturdy and have a comfortable handle to grip, the blade edge should help you cut through soil easily, and it should be well priced so based on these ideas I have reviewed the best garden hoes to save you time.
