Onion Weeders thousands of these weeders are used by 
commercial vegetable growers. These are very superior to a hoe, 
and in fact, better than any small hand weeder we have ever seen

garden, especially when weeding small tender plants or flowers. 
The blade is of spring steel, attached to a substantial handle.
