Customer Reviews of the Ploskorez Swage Hoe
"Hoes are strong, sturdy and will last years. Simple to assemble. Very satisfied. Small farm, little mechanization and these hoes provide a good defense against those pesky "weeds"! Thank you."
"...I purchased the Fork Hoe, Grubbing Hoe, and Grape Hoe a few years ago, and recently purchased the Ploskorez hoe. All of these tools have been high quality steel and the handles have exceeded my expectations. Each of these tools have a distinct function so you will need to research on where to start for your own situation. I'm anxious to give this hoe a good workout this year on intricate weeding, as I am tending to plant more densely, both row width and spacing between plants."
"the stainless ploskorez i purchased is nice but smaller than i expected. i still like it but if you will ever get something similar to the Fokin's version please let me know. otherwise, the overall experience is very pleasant - fast delivery and prompt and effective response to my emails. i would definitely recommend this site. "
"The hoe is great and built to last. The long handle saved my back! "

Best way to use the Ploskorez Hoe
When a garden is planted in rows, there are two types of weeding chores: Between-the-Rows and Between-the-Plants. These two chores are also called "inter-row" and "inter-plant" weeding by the farm equipment companies make very different machines for these very different tasks.
In a small garden (or in garden beds) this tool will work fine for both tasks. The long handle can easily be cut shorter to make a one-handed version for use in raised beds or in flower gardens.
But in a large garden, this stainless steel hoe is best used only for weeding between the plants. Weeding between the rows can be accomplished faster with our wide grape hoe or with a wheel hoe.
This type of tool is usually called a detail weeder. It can be used for the same weeding tasks as the Cobra Head weeder, or Eliot Coleman's long-handled wire weeder, or other wire hoes. The general design of the Swage is also very similar to the US made "Hook and Crook hoe".
Detail weeders like this are ONLY for precision weeding. They are NOT for hacking at sod, chopping big weeds, or tilling the soil.
