Garden Tools: 2-Way Hoe
A strong 12" or 14" garden rake, a round-headed shovel, and a good hoe are the only garden tools needed to grow a great Mittleider vegetable garden. The first 2 are easy to find most anywhere in the developed countries.
The right hoe is harder to find, however, and in our experience the 2-way hoe (also known as a hula hoe, stirrup hoe, or scuffle hoe) is the best type for several reasons, which are discussed at length in the FAQ section.
While most brands will bend, nick, and wear out quickly, only one hoe measures up to our standards, and with proper care the Kenyon 2-way hoe should last for years in your garden. We only sell the head in order to save on shipping costs. By checking with Kenyon you may be able to find the complete hoe at a store near you.
The Greatest Hoe of All Time!
Dear Jim,
Thank you for selling the hoe heads along with the fertilizer bags. We just happened to have extra hoe handles in our garage, and it was easy to attach.
My main problem last year was weeds, and this hoe was a wonderful solution. I have my 5 beds raked into place now and irrigation pipes ready. Every time I go into the garden I take the hoe and drag it along the dirt to cut off the baby weeds.
It is so wonderfully easy...just like sweeping with a broom. As long as you don't give the weeds a chance to get big, then it is really simple to keep them under control. Of course, I did not know that last year, but now I GOT IT! I've even been using it along the fence line instead of a weed eater machine. Fantastic!"

Tip of the Day
It's Fall and time to prepare your soil for winter! For those of you in the Northern hemisphere who have winters, October, November, and and early December are the time you need to be cleaning up your garden and preparing it for next spring's planting. You can even plant hardy garlic, which will overvegetable crops such as radishes, peas, cabbage and broccoli.
The freeze/tha-winter and get an early spring start. Before snow covers your garden mae sure all old materials are either removed from the garden, or if they are clean of weed seeds and disease, till them into your soil-beds. Also, when it's not too muddy, go in and give everything a good weeding with the 2-way hoe (see Tools). Weeding thoroughly in the Fall helps keep the weeds from getting a big head start on you before you can get into the garden in the spring, and is very important.
If you grew a Mittleider garden this year, your beds will benefit from tilling or digging. You can apply Pre-Plant and Weekly Feed to the bed area now, then till them in, or wait until early spring. Either way after tilling place strings on your stakes, and re-make the beds.
Be sure to re-check the level of each bed accurately, since they may have changed a little. Do not be satisfied with anything more than 1" fall in a 30'-long soil-bed. Good Gardening!
