Onion hoe and cultivator tool for precise work

Work just under the surface so soil stays settled and weeds are sliced before they root deeply. The compact head reaches tight spots where larger tools struggle. A light weekly pass keeps rows clear through the growing season. Guide the edge away from stems for safe, accurate weeding.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What jobs suit this tool best?

How do I look after the blade?

Brush off soil after use and wipe the stainless steel clean. Store the tool dry and check the edge from time to time.
