garden tools with a long handle and a flat or slightly angled blade used for digging, weeding, and breaking up soil.
From Old English 'hoh' or from Old Frisian 'hoe', possibly related to 'heave'. The garden tool has been used for thousands of years across many cultures.
The hoe is one of the oldest and most important agricultural tools—it's so fundamental to farming that many civilizations invented it independently, and it barely changed for thousands of years until modern gardening equipment.
