Onion hoe and cultivator tool for precise work

How to use the onion hoe garden tool
Hold the handle in one hand and skim the blade beneath the surface. Slice new growth as it appears and loosen the top layer around onions. Keep movements short and steady, steering the edge away from stems. Repeat about once a week during active growth for tidy rows. See our own garden hand hoe here for an alternative
After clearing the surface, plant straight away with a hand trowel to keep rows moving.
Stainless steel blade and easy control
The blade is polished stainless steel to resist rust and help reduce soil adhesion. Its angled shape moves smoothly through fine soil and gravelly patches. The hand held handle lets you turn and weave around plants without heavy digging. Wipe the edge clean after use for consistent slicing.
