Niwaki Forked Hand Hoe

Niwaki Forked Hand HoeThe Niwaki forked hand hoe is a Japanese 3 pronged hoe for the digging, weeding and planting. Whilst a traditional large garden fork is perfect for turning over a veg patch before planting or creating a new border, I've always found them awkward to use around existing plants. This Niwaki forked hand hoe is designed to be used with a chopping motion, like an axe, or as a rake. This makes it great for working within existing borders or for more
