Stirrup Hoe
The stirrup hoe is most commonly used for weeding between rows and cultivating soil to a shallow depth of 1 inch or less. Apply some pressure to guide the blade to the proper depth and begin continuously pushing and pulling the tool on the soil. The double edged blade will cut the shallow roots at the growing edge and lift them out of the soil to dry out.
Tool Tips
There is no need to push the blade deeply into the soil; a shallow depth will cut the young weeds off from their roots and leave deeper soil undisturbed and healthy.
Do not use around drip irrigation, as the blade can cut hosing.
