FAQs
How do I sharpen the blade?
Use a file or grinding tool to sharpen the blade, maintaining the original angle. Always wear safety glasses.
Can I use this hoe in rocky soil?
While the hoe is durable, using it in extremely rocky soil can damage the blade. Avoid areas with a lot of rocks.

Angle the blade just below the soil surface and pull or push to slice through the weeds. Work in rows and overlap each pass.
