The Planet Jr. Wheel Hoe is back!
Good ideas never go away for long....

In the 1910's, 20's, 30's, and 40's the wheel cultivator ruled the
gardening world. Every big garden had a wheel hoe, and the
Planet Junior wheel hoes were king!

But in the 1950's market gardening started to quickly lose ground
to industrial farming, while herbicides began replacing manual
weeding tools. By the 70's we had almost lost a wealth of small-
scale agricultural skills and tools. Fortunately enough young
homesteaders and old-timers kept the knowledge alive.

Hoss Tools was started by two bright market gardeners who were
frustrated with the poor quality of garden tools available in
hardware stores. They duplicated the original Planet Jr wheel
cultivator so well that the new attachments fit perfectly with the old
antique Planet Junior wheel hoes (and also the Red Pig wheel
hoes – a previous revival of the Planet Jr)

The wheel cultivator has been used for so many
generations for one reason: it works great!

When your garden is too big for hand hoeing and too small for a
tractor, the wheel hoe is the tool to use.  It is the easiest way of
manually cultivating and weeding long rows of garden plants.

The wheel cultivator can till and loosen your garden soil in preparation for
planting. Used as a garden cultivator it will aerate and loosen the soil around
established plants. When used for weeding it will quickly uproot larger weeds
and bury smaller weed seedlings.

A double wheel hoe creates superb
balance while it straddles the row of
crops. This allows the weeding blades to
remain level and steady while they work
both sides of the crop row in one pass.
See how it weeds both sides of the row
Our weeding blades are exact copies of the Planet Jr blades that were used so
successfully for so many decades. They are also called Sweeps because the blades
angle back to allow cut weeds to clear the blades. This is the same efficient design
used on 1000's of tractor drawn weeders.
By slicing shallowly just beneath the surface (about 1/2" deep) they kill young weeds
without stirring up a new crop of buried weed seeds.
        
Blade position is easily adjustable to weed paths from 12" to 7" wide
