Those who suffer with backache from gardening 

 will be most pleased to know that a wheel hoe 

 will afford relief. Cultivating the garden by 

 means of the wheel hoe is far from being the 

 hard task which hoeing has always proven itself 

 to be. 



The hoe is dangerous to small plants. One 

 whack and the plant is lost. It is far better to use 

 a fork than to lose plants which you have taken 

 so much pains to give a growing start. Even 

 if the plant is not cut, the hoe cannot get around 

 fine young roots and stir the soil properly. 



The time to cultivate the garden is before the 

 weeds get a start above the ground, or else just as 

 soon as the weeds have made an appearance. The 

 larger the weed, the harder to eradicate the roots.
