The Henningson Circle Hoe has been winning awards. It comes from Grants Pass, Oregon and has been around long enough to have quite a following. It is used much like you would a regular small hoe for close weeding and cultivating. The Wall Street Journal even rated it Best Value in a test of Ergonomic Tools. Because of its shape, there is no “undercutting” of roots when you pass it through and between flowers and vegetables. It is 15” long and even works well in difficult soils like clay and adobe.
