Wheel Hoe A Good Tool In Any Garden
Virginia Tech vegetable specialist L B Dietrich urges wheel hoes as essential in home gardens to curb weeds and insects. He favors the small single wheel with cultivator teeth and a plow attachment, saying one wheel hoe earns its keep by saving time and labor. Dietrich emphasizes early weed control, proper dusters and sprayers, and thorough preplant plowing and harrowing to reduce later cultivation.
