Glaser Oscillating (Hula) hand hoe 85mm

A favourite with market gardeners. Also known as a hula hoe, swing hoe or a stirrup hoe. Also available in 125mm and 175mm  For weed control in seedling plantings and clean cultivation between narrow-planted rows of crops.An oscillating/hula hoe is much more efficient than a standard hoe. The blade of the oscillating hoe works parallel to the ground in a easy push and pull motion, replacing the exhausting hoeing with a standard hoe. The weeds are undercut and weed seeds distributed by the wind, or animals, stay on the surface and can’t germinate.The vertical edges of the blade are sharpened so a clean cut is possible very close to young plants without disturbing their growth. Comes without  handle, but it has a holder for a handle, which can be easily bought at any hardware store. Choose one  1.5m long and 2.5-3 cm diameter. The receiver part of the hoe is tapered and has a slot for a screw to hold it in place. Quite easy to fit. Good for cutting off the weeds just under the surface w
