We've got what you need to make weeding and harvesting a pleasure.

Smart Hoes
Amazingly lightweight and incredibly useful.

Smart HoesCleverly designed multi-purpose head, padded grip, and light weight (under 2 lbs.!), have made this a favorite on our Research Farm. Great for furrowing, filling and tamping, as well as weeding, cultivating, raking and shaping in tight spaces. It's been a durable workhorse for us and we're sure you'll find it indispensable. The Smart Hoe Jr. is the same ingenious design in a convenient 24-inch hand tool.

The head is angled to rest on the ground while cutting on the push stroke. It makes easy work of tough weeding jobs and is rugged enough to chop out small roots and dig out small stones. Great for shaping up your beds too. The 6 inch wide rectangular blade with extended tang and socket is coated with a special epoxy paint for durability and to minimize soil adhesion. The shaft is crafted from select hardwood and beautifully varnished. Built to last for generations.

The 18 in. turned Ash handle is shaped for comfort and is perfect for reaching into the backs of your beds. Keep it sharp for maximum effect.

Electronic Watering Timer (7" blade, 60" handle) The most heavily used weeding tool on our research farm. Blade remains under the surface of the soil as you push away and pull back, cutting weeds efficiently in both directions without actually lifting the tool. The Swiss-made blade is spring steel and really holds an edge. American ash handle. S12394 Web Price 5% Discount: $38.00
