hand hoe
Small weeding tool
A hand hoe is a small gardening tool with a short handle, designed for use while kneeling or squatting.
Unlike long-handled hoes used standing up, hand hoes allow precise work close to plants—weeding between seedlings, cultivating soil in tight spaces, or breaking up small clumps of earth: She used a hand hoe to weed around the tomato plants.
