Cape Cod Weeder Long Handle

Like the more familiar Cape Cod Hand Weeder this tool has a forged L-shaped head that beheads weeds just below the soil. Kept sharp, it slides back and forth easily clearing a 5-6" wide path. The cutting blade is angled slightly backward to make sure it doesn't allow especially tough weeds to slip out of its grasp, uncut. The sharpened tip of the blade allows you to thrust it deep into the soil to extricate individual weeds that have matured to the point where even repeated shallow hoeing would not eliminate them.

The head is forged from either 5/8" or 3/4" diameter rod for extra strength to eliminate the risk of bending it under all reasonable circumstances. Don't try to use it on large tree roots or to pry out rocks, please. We haft the Long Handled Cape Cod Hoe with a thick handle for extra durability. It's a heavy son-of-a-gun but beheading overgrown weeds is heavy son-of-a-gun work.

Get the tool on an 18” handle if you work at raised beds. This is also our accessible option making work for people who garden from a wheelchair ergonomic and easier on the back.
