One of the most important tools in your allotment arsenal (apart from the bottle opener) has to be the hoe.

Certain types of hoe (such as the draw hoe) can also be used to create drills for seed planting. Read on to learn the best way to use your hoe!

The Dutch hoe has an angled blade that is pushed and pulled through the soil to slice weeds just under the surface of the soil. Also look out for the Royal Dutch hoe – a formidable tool that has a row of zig-zag teeth (making the hoe resemble a crown) that slice on the push stroke, with a hook blade on the reverse to cut on the pull stroke. For extra thrust, choose one that sports a pistol-style grip at the end of its handle. Razor HoeHoes come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few of the more useful types of hoe you might come across.

Alternatively, place a warm, wet towel on the area for 5 minutes before shaving.

Brushing can also help train the hair to grow in a single direction, making ingrown hairs less likely. Hair removal creams, or depilatories, dissolve the hair and reduce the risk of razor bumps. However, they contain chemicals that can irritate the skin. A person should not use these products if their skin is already inflamed or sensitive. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that unclogs pores, sloughs off dead skin cells, and treats inflammation, allowing razor bumps to heal. Forged from high-carbon laminated steel for strength and edge retention, the head has a razor-sharp edge to glide effortlessly through the soil, and a super-strong hardened tip to bite easily into all types of earth – even clay, baked, or stony ground. Like salicylic acid, glycolic acid helps the skin peel by removing old cells from the surface of the skin. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid.

Oddly, cost doesn’t seem to be a reliable indicator of suitability to the intended task. One of the best hand forks I’ve used was less than a fiver when new. One of the worst – eye-wateringly pricey and beautiful to behold – is terribly designed, though as so many pro gardeners rave about the particular marque I can only assume it’s the weak spot in an otherwise stellar range (I’m not in a rush to fork out for any more, though). Burgon & Ball tools sit somewhere in the middle of the price spectrum. A person may use a skin care brush, a soft bristle face brush, or a soft toothbrush.

Long-term readers of this blog will by now be aware that, far from viewing weeding as a necessary but tedious task, I actively enjoy the process –it’s a mindful occupation, forcing you to be quite literally in touch with the land; hands in the soil, breathing in lungfuls of fresh air combined with whatever those friendly microbes are that are so beneficial for our wellbeing (the bacteria Mycobacterium vaccae actually – read more about them here). And as you you get to know the weeds that like your garden, you begin to gain an understanding of the kind of plants that will flourish in each of the areas you tend.
