Pronged Hoe A Better Garden Digger
Karen Bryant, Hope Hull, Ala., recently sent FARM SHOW photos of a pronged garden hoe she invented called the Wonder Hoe.
  The hoe’s blade angles downward and is equipped with a series of 2-in. prongs.
  “I made this hoe because I wanted something that worked more aggressively than a regular garden hoe. I thought it was about time someone improved the design,” says Bryant. “Openings between the prongs allow weeds to work through as you make seed furrows. The hoe is 8 in. wide at the bottom, which is a little wider than an ordinary hoe. So after you’ve placed seeds in the furrow, you can pull the hoe back toward you and wiggle it back and forth to cover the seeds from both sides at the same time. Dirt will fall through the grooves and cover the furrow evenly. The angled blade makes it easy to pull dirt toward you.
  “This hoe also works good in flower gardens. The prongs grab briers and long grassy material as well as straw, so you can push it up around the flowers for use as mulch.”
  The “Wonder Hoe” sells for $19.99 plus $10 S&H.
