Keeping up with weeding

Renie

I have a pretty big garden and I do have lawn and hedge hep but weeds were growing faster than I could deal with them.

Then I bought 2 marvelous gadgets, a Japanese hoe ( robust metal hook on a small handle ) and a folding stool. I can now weed vert efficiently sitting down !

Hope this may e hseful for some of you keen gardeners,

That looks very interesting @Renie thanks for the tip.

I already have the seat (and now some raised beds) but the hoe wich looks a lot like a sickle is new to me and a great idea😊

I would need a right handed one.

Thanks again
