Hoe is a common tool for hardworking farmers. It consists of a hoe and a hoe handle. Hoes are usually made of iron or steel and are shaped like a flat triangle. The hoe has sharp edges on both sides for loosening soil and weeding. The hoe handle is usually made of wood, and it is about 1.5m to 2m long, so that farmers can hold it and insert the hoe into the soil.

Use a hoe

Before using the hoe, check the sharpness of the hoe and the stability of the hoe handle. If the hoe becomes dull or the hoe handle becomes loose, it needs to be repaired or replaced.

1. Find the area that needs hoeing. In spring and autumn, it is usually necessary to hoe the ground to loosen the soil and weed.

2. Hold the hoe handle and insert the hoe into the soil. If the soil is dry and hard, you can step on the hoe with your feet, which makes it easier to insert into the soil.

3. Push the hoe forward, loosen the soil and remove weeds. In the process of pushing the hoe, it is necessary to keep the hoe at an angle of 45 degrees with the ground in order to better loosen the soil and weed.

4. Repeat the above steps until the whole area has been hoed.

5. After hoeing, clean the soil and weeds on the hoe, and insert the hoe into the soil for storage and maintenance.
