Georgetown Peabody Library Tool Shed

This simple tool is a type of hand hoe with a high tensile stainless steel band attached to both sides of its handle. It is meant to be drawn through the soil surface undercutting shallow-rooted weeds. Since you can see the edges of the blade at all times, it helps you to avoid accidentally nicking the stems or roots of the plants you want to keep. The broad blade can also be used for trenching or furrowing when drawn at an angle. There is no “perfect weeder” that will work for any weed in any soil type. This is not the right tool for taking out dandelions from a lawn, for instance. But for a garden bed, especially a tilled garden bed, this tool is ideal for getting rid of the small weeds that pop up throughout the growing season
