I ’ve lick with other professional gardener for over twenty - five years , and a tool that continues to be a popular part of our weed armoury is the Nejiri Gama hand hoe . Made in Japan , this lightweight tool with a hardwood handgrip will have a long lifetime in your tool collection . It ’s wonderful for scraping up shallow weeds . The 5½-inch hardened brand blade skim just under the territory ’s surface . The deepest - rooted weeds require a different tool , but this well - balanced hand hoe is in particular good with early weed growth . The vane , which should be kept sharp , cut advantageously with a pulling motion . This hoe is compendious , at only 10½   inches in length .
