Tender stemmed plants around the world are rejoicing at the development of this tool! With its cutting blade on the inside of the circle it is impossible to cause damage to surrounding plants by accidently slicing into them. You can weed right up to the base of the plant without damaging the roots by pulling the hoe towards you and away from the plant - the dull backside of the hoe cannot damage plants and the blade is cutting away from the base of the plant. Ideal for weeding around seedlings, herb gardens and containers. blade diameter 5cms, overall length 28cms.
