Useful Extras
A swan-neck draw hoe and a three-pronged cultivator
are necessary aids to weeding and keeping the surface
soil open and friable, but also free of weed seedlings.
Choose a hoe with a tempered steel, sharpened blade
edge, which will cut through weeds on the surface
easily; its pointed corners can also be used to prepare
soil for seed sowing.
The toughest tasks, like breaking up compacted, hard-
as-concrete soils, or land riddled with rocks, a pick
mattock is a good option. It has two ends, each for a
different purpose: The wide “mattock” blade breaks
up dense, heavy soils; the pointed “pick” end can
fracture rock and concrete.
“I fi nd a three prong cultivator is the most useful in the garden getting
between plants rather than into them. Also great for loosen soil and break
up clumps of roots or weeds. They are available with long or short han-
dles, and even with extendable handles. Choose the one that fi ts you best.
I quite like the extendable sort as it is so adaptable.”
