Though this tool may be a bit pricey. It slices through soil and is a study cultivation tool. It’s my current favorite. It’s very important to keep cultivating tools sharp so have a file near by.
I have a 40 year old weeder similar to this one and it like new. After using this weeder twice the handle slipped off the shaft. The design and fabrication of the tang and handle are what you would expect from a $5 tool not a $30 tool.
A versatile tool but the metal end came out of handle when I was using it for only the second time.
Your hotbedweeder is just great, gets in everywhere, good for smalland big crops, cuts with all 3 sides.
