| The sturdy grub hoe was once a common tool on our small family farms in the days before the tractor. These tools dig and cultivate with an easy chop-pull motion that is very quick, but also gentler on your back than the stomp-bend-lift motion used with a shovel or spade.

Easy Digging grub hoes (azadas) from Bellotto of Brazil have been optimized for their intended tasks. Our 4" and 6" grub hoe heads are
angled for fast efficient digging and chopping, while the 8" grape hoe head is set at a more shallow angle for easy weeding and cultivating.
Other grub hoe producers often use a "one-size-fits-all" approach with a tool angle that is midway between the proper digging and weeding
angles - but therefore not optimal for either task. But every digging tool from Easy Digging is optimized for its task AND comes complete with
an ergonomic long handle so you can garden and dig in a comfortable upright position.

The 4" grub hoe shares the fast efficient design of the
larger tool, but in a narrower 2.2 lb version. This tool is
perfect for smaller gardens and for those who wish to
minimize their physical exertion. It is also great for narrow
trenching of sprinkler and other underground services.

| So what is an Azada? Azada (ah-zah-da) is what they call both grub hoes and grape hoes in Europe and South America. This type of tools has become very popular with British gardeners - click here to read what British gardeners say about the Azada. The grub hoe is called a powrah, mammoty or mamooty in India, a changkol or changkul in Asia, an enxada in Brazil, a jembe in Africa, and a Okinawan kuwa (where it is also a traditional Martial Arts weapon - check it out!) |
| So what is a Trenching Hoe? A grub hoe can be called a Trenching Hoe when it is used for trenching. To use a trenching hoe you stand above the trench to chop soil loose then drag it up the ramped end of the trench - just like the chain does in a power trencher. For more info on using these tools for trenching see our Guide to Trenching and Trenchers and our check out the new Garden Drainage Guide |
Customer Testimonials
We received our azadas last night, put them together (easy enough) this morning and finished removing all the weedy
sod in our backyard. My husband had started the job with a pickaxe (too heavy for me to wield) and was very pleased
with the greater efficiency and ease of his 6" azada. I could work with him with my lighter 4" azada, so we finished the job
in a couple of hours. We are very pleased with the product, both its functionality and its quality.

I used my new grub hoe for the first time yesterday. What a powerful hand tool! It really did make fast work of breaking up
the garden soil so that I could plant a cover crop. I had been thinking that as I expanded my garden, I might need to buy
a roto tiller. Now I am thinking that might not be necessary....Great product, thanks for making it available here in the US!
