When buying a garden hoe make sure it’s the right one. So to get started, stand the hoe upright and lean forward about 20 degree; keeping your arms straight while pulling the shaft downward with both hands. It important the hoe is tall enough while standing. If the hoe forces you to hunch over, expect to experience severe pain to the neck, back and gluteus medius muscles, aka buttocks. Equally important is picking the right hoe for the job. There’s the “stirrup” hoe for back and forth motions, the “scuffle” hoe for more chopping actions and “grub” hoe for deep cultivation. When using the hoe for extended periods, change hands frequently so both arms are labored evenly. Finally, a hoe can get really dirty, so be sure to wash it down after each use. Thank you for coming by, enjoy the spins.
