Work the Dutch hoe through the upper layer of soil around young weeds, using controlled movements to cut or dislodge them.
For best results, tackle weeds while they are small and actively growing, before they become deeply established or have an opportunity to set seed.
Use the hoe to lightly work the surface of beds, borders and vegetable plots. Regular shallow cultivation can help keep the soil surface workable while removing newly emerging weeds at the same time.
The 125mm-wide head provides useful control for working between established plants and along vegetable rows.
Keep the hoe sufficiently clear of wanted plants to avoid damaging stems or shallow root systems.

Regular garden maintenance
A Dutch hoe is particularly useful for regular shallow weeding and cultivation. Tackling weeds when they are young generally requires less effort and helps prevent them becoming established.
The Elements Dutch Hoe combines a 125mm hardened carbon steel head with a 56in ash wood shaft, giving good reach across beds and vegetable plots.
The hammer-finish powder coating improves resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis in the soil, while the ash shaft is clear lacquered and weatherproofed for greater durability.
Remove soil and plant debris from the hoe after use and allow the tool to dry before storage.
Store in a dry, sheltered location to help preserve the carbon steel head and wooden shaft. Periodically inspect the head, shaft connection and grip for signs of wear or damage.
