HOE
hoe – n
a tool with a flat blade attached at right angles to a long handle
A hoe is an ancient and versatile agricultural and horticultural hand tool used to shape soil, remove weeds, clear soil, and harvest root crops. Shaping the soil includes piling soil around the base of plants (hilling), digging narrow furrows (drills) and shallow trenches for planting seeds or bulbs. Weeding with a hoe includes agitating the surface of the soil or cutting foliage from roots, and clearing soil of old roots and cropresidues. Hoes for digging and moving soil are used to harvest root crops such as potatoes.
Hoes are an ancient technology, predating the plough and perhaps preceded only by the digging stick. In Sumerian mythology, the invention of the hoe was credited to Enlil, the chief of the council of gods. The hand-plough (mr) was depicted in predynastic Egyptian art, and hoes are also mentioned in ancient documents like the Code of Hammurabi (ca. 18th century BC) and the Book of Isaiah (c. 8th century BC).
Garden hoe evolution has not changed the basic design. Today, just as it was thousands of years ago, a garden hoe consists of a handle on one end and a head with a blade to uproot and control weeds and loosen and work the soil on the other end.
