Spear & Jackson 5050OH - Traditional Onion Hoe, Blue, 32.5 x 8 x 7.5 cm

Product Information

The double edged stainless steel blade allows excellent cutting on both the push and the pull movements. There are specially designed teeth to aid the pull motion when cutting to make it easier to cut through the soil and make cuts. The blade has a width of only 13.5cm which to be quite frank could have been slightly wider, especially when the Fiskars QuikFit Push-Pull Weeder has an extra 2cm on it. It’s not the end of the world but it just would have made more sense to me to make it the same size. Nevertheless, I really like this tool because it makes it very easy to use for extended periods of time and does exactly what it’s designed to do.

Stainless steel blades are prone to rust, and you can’t sharpen them, so they are best suited for light gardening tasks. (Some manufacturers powder-coat their blades to forestall rust.) On the other hand, some hoes with pointed blades require frequent sharpening. Besides the blade material, consider its shape. Some are better for pushing and pulling, while others are built for chopping and pulling the hoe inward.

But when you start to group them by what the hoe is USED FOR, and what the ACTION is to make it work, then there are just 5 different categories of garden hoes.

In addition to the above types of garden hoes, you can also find a hoe with a shorter handle. These are great to have if you prefer to garden while kneeling or sitting.

Growing onions from seeds is a long process, and ideally, you need an indoor area to start them off in early spring before moving them outside later. FSC certified tools to be admired with their beautiful solid ash handles and etching, they make a lovely present for yourself or others.It pretty much goes without saying that if you look after your tools you will get much longer use out of them. And personally it really gets my goat whenI even see people not taking care of their tools. If you pay good money for something then it’s definitely worth taking a little extra care with it. Not just storing it in a dry place away from the elements (which is pretty obvious stuff) but sharpening the blade too. I have always found that when any tool is working to its full capability then I’m not going to be compensating for its inability to get the job done correctly. If I have a blunt blade I’m going to be using brute force instead of letting the tool do the work. Not only is that detrimental to my health as my form when using the tool won’t be correct but it’s also going to take its toll on the blades, handles and grips too. There are a lot of different names, flavors, and descriptions out there. A couple hours of online searching created a list that The onions then grow as a cluster when you move them outside.
