Lazy beds or potato ridges are still in use to day as a perfect way to grow root crops and allow excess water to drain away. This digging hoe from Draper is heavy-duty and well-balanced which is easy-to-use yet sharp enough to cut through tree roots and thick turf.

Long handles allow you to stand in the proper upright ergonomic position while you dig, cultivate, or weed. There are also Digging Hoes with strong perpendicular blades that can chop or break soil and sod for digging and tilling.The thing is with these tools is they have been around for hundreds of years in one form or another and people have discovered they can be used for a whole range of different tasks.

It's design allows you to do these tasks with ease and at speeds which can be 3 or more times faster than your traditional garden spade and this is proven. A shorter handle will work, but it is less ergonomic, harder on your back, and requires more effort.
