This tool is a game changer! I can't believe how much time is saved with my 1/4 acre garden...must have tool!

He makes it look easy with that moist soil. Lol, that shit is harder in real life😂.

Water it? Also soil is supposed to be plowed, raked.

Just bought one today and tried it on my flower beds and it works amazing. Best tool in my gardening arsenal

[@janecoe9407]

omg i feel so dumb i never got one yet, ive been looking at different tools. ive used a few tools and preen. used vineagar to kill weeds too, THEY ALWAYS COME BACK. LOL I GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE TOOLS!

this has gotta be one of the most underrated garden hand-tools!!

Got one last year. Much easier than pulling weeds by hand.

What about cleaning up all the weeds? Kinda makes a mess to clean em up

[@ZilrenNana]

I bought one too. Wish they had put a few small spikes or claws on the bottom side.

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Zilren Rocha it’s not supposed to run deep, keep new seeds from coming to the surface.

[@AfzaalWardag]

Soil is not enough dry to push motion ;)

[@ajayspradhan]

What do you do with the weeds that you cut off the ground surface? Do you leave them on the ground? Or do you painstakingly collect them to throw away?

[@markothwriter]

I sharpened mine. Sure, it will wear down faster. But it is really sharp and cuts like a knife.

[@svierregger]

These work great but are still a lot of work when you let the weeds get out of control. In my experience I need to spend several hours getting the weeds out the first time, then every week or two it only takes 15-20 minutes to quickly take care of the weeds attempting to grow back. Weeds will always find a way and the best strategy is to stay ahead of them.

[@TeachaMantoFish]

You stated it Pete to. If out of control it (not anything else) works.

Handsome host...

[@veri_cottagefairy]

i just discovered this tool after being almost to the point of giving up weeding my larger than i need garden-im about to go get one from HD right now omg where has this been while i was getting bit by ants weeding by hand 😂

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Nice! It works best if done once a week.

[@veri_cottagefairy]

@@TeachaMantoFish sounds like the perfect schedule for me! im out in the garden multiple times a day since i work from home full time, but i’d rather spend my breaks tending to/inspecting my vegetable plants for pests and diseases than weeding by hand. thank you so much for the video + comment, happy gardening this summer from zone 7a! 🪴👩🏾‍🌾💚

@@TeachaMantoFish oh, just got home from home depot with it, i can’t wait to see how it goes! :D

@@veri_cottagefairy let us know. If your weeds are long it is more difficult the first time.

[@veri_cottagefairy]

@@TeachaMantoFish back to report that this thing is AMAZING 🤩 oh my god i can’t even get over how quickly i transformed my garden, i wish i could post a picture because the difference is night and day!! it took a minute to figure out the right angle/pressure to keep it effective yet easy on my back but once i got the right stance i was flying over those weeds. you were definitely right that some long ones took more effort, but i was still able to clear the most unwalkable back areas with a little extra elbow grease (and a few breaks haha). i’ve used it a total of maybe 4hrs over the last 2 evenings and im about done weeding already, i almost can’t believe it. thank you for the video again, and to anyone else even considering it, BUY THIS TOOL. LITERALLY GO NOW. it’s the best $30 i’ve spent all season 🙌🏾😍

Well push isn't too effective but I get it.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

What kind of maize were you growing that year? Neat little tool. I might get one and try to use it to hoe out my lawn. I used a butterknife to hoe out a dandelion (I don't hate dandelions, I just wanted to put an allium set where it stood so it needed to go). Time will tell if I was successful, but I think it was. I do not want to repeat that across my entire garden, hence my interest in a scuffle hoe (I also have the tools to sharpen it, as a side effect of having a scythe to mow the lawn that will remain, and to mow wheat, rye, triticale, barley, upland rice, and/or teff when I get to growing said plants).

[@TeachaMantoFish]

I believe that year was called cotton candy? Some cute name like that. I’ve pulled dandelions with a shovel cutting under the tap root several times.

[@andrealcroyle]

I wonder if this works in the sandy Florida soil that I have

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Works best in sandy soil

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Thank you

[@jyl11375]

can you use it to get off weed in your grass? do i need to pickup the weed? i want to replant the grass. thanks

[@leclanche7127]

I'm not sure about this but try using a rake after you plough them out

[@SavHabitz]

So 3:42 how do you clean up the weeds or you just let mix them with the dirt?

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Let them mix with the dirt and the nutrients go back. It works better when the soil is dry.

[@MarkTrades__]

I'm installing patchs of sod in my yard and was contemplating whether this would be worth it compared to a metal rake and non-flat shovel. Needless to say I am headed to my local Ace Hardware now LOLOL. They seem to have a fiberglass handle version for sale that looks the same as the ones at lowes for roughly $6 cheaper than other options ($32ish at HD/Lowes vs $25.99 at Ace). Hope thats helpful to someone else. Living in Florida I like the fiberglass handles more the wood ones get eaten up outside.

[@TeachaMantoFish]

You won't regret it. Total labor and time saver.

[@MarkTrades__]

@@TeachaMantoFish I really did go and buy it right after leaving that comment. I'm an now DONE taking the top inch or so of of a 25' x 3.5' area ALREADY haha! This tool cuts through weed roots much better than I thought it would. I can only imagine if you really gave it a sharp edge what it could do. Thanks for the video so I could see it in action! I wasn't even sure how this was used when I saw it on the racks before.

[@TeachaMantoFish]

I'll tell ya this too, it gets sharper the more you use it and the edge wears sharp. It is good stuff. @@MarkTrades__

[@MarkTrades__]

@@TeachaMantoFishAwesome! First thing I thought cutting through weed roots was, "Oh man I can only imagine what this thing could do if it was REALLY sharp more like a blade" haha

[@78fordtruck4]

I don't see this working very well besides the ground is too wet

[@brandontucker2989]

Will this tool work to remove sod

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Don’t think so, be more work than a flat blade shovel.

[@LMTino]

I don't see the benefit of leaving mature weeds in the soil you have just hoed - especially when large enough to pick up. Of course, that means bending over when the scuffle should eliminate that need. I get it if very young small weeds chopped...but I see whole roots exposed to the soil just ready to re-root with an overnight rain. Or as you point out, not to go too deep so as not to bring up old weed seeds to the top. The plan is the weeds are chopped up enough in theory that they then become nutrients for the soil (the same weeds that we are working so hard to eliminate)? A sort of weed compost for your future or existing plants?

[@thephilwells]

What do you do with the pulled-up weeds and clods after?

[@TeachaMantoFish]

I let them rot, in this video the weeds were pretty thick. I've got other videos that show keeping up with it better.

[@archerslogic]

Get a green bin for city pick up maybe

[@jaylewis8789]

I sharpen mine with a flat file.

[@jksatte]

So the weeds will just die? Do you leave them where they lie? Janice

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Yes, once the root system below the surface is cut the weeds simple shrivel up, brown and die.

[@hanigupta3797]

@@TeachaMantoFish but what if the weeds have seeds? Wont they dry up and germinate?

[@TeachaMantoFish]

@@hanigupta3797 if they’re mature. If you keep up with them you prevent the weeds going to seed.

So you don’t remove the weeds right won’t they come right back up?

Only other seeds

Well, obviously the pull motion works easier than the push motion!

True statement, doesn’t always work out though traveling for work.

Will this type of hoe work on a large swath of English Ivy, or are those roots too deep? If not, do you have a recommendation for the best tool to use for English Ivy? I can't use any chemicals in the yard. Thank you.

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Probably not, it doesn't do the best job on pulling up establish roots and ivy can be difficult. Outside of chemicals your next best bet would probably be a shovel and uprooting.

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

@@TeachaMantoFish Thanks for the fast reply. I was just taking a look at a diamond hoe, which might work better than my standard garden hoe. Do you have any thoughts on that garden tool? My 56-year-old back can't handle to much shoveling these days.

[@northavealum]

Try renting a few goats to come in and graze the ivy. After a couple of passes, the ivy should die off (the goats eating the ivy above ground starves the below-ground root system) without you having to dig out the roots. The roots will decompose on their own with the help of soil microbiology.

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

@@northavealum That's not a bad idea. However, it might be tough to keep our boxer dog from trying to "herd" the goats.

This cutting will allow the weeds to grow again.

Not forever, if you don't cut too deep the germination of seeds slows as the available seeds diminshes.

[@melody5437]

When you cut the tops off, you weaken them. If you keep cutting whenever a they poke their heads up, you win. Eventually. :-)
