A sickle cuts weeds with a blade. It's not a hoe.  |

Hula hoe, though it has other names I've forgotten. Works pretty well, and available here in most hardware stores with a garden too section.

My hula hoe looks like the bottom picture.
I've also seen them in some upscale garden catalogs, but price usually cheaper in feedstores/garden stores.

It is most commonly applied to potted plants, or to magnesium-hungry crops, such as potatoes, roses, and tomatoes.Yes peppers too! Heres a link for the Epsom Salts council on Usage in the garden EpsomSaltYeah, thanks X!!  |

In this book I have, its called a Dutch hoe,you push it backwards and forwards while walking backwards so you don't walk on the weeds and push them back into the ground.It also talks about a wheel-hoe as a great time saver and good for larger gardens, though you would have to space your plants to allow for its width, never seen one.I use a garden-claw to work up my soil between the rows. Great exercise.  |

For the last week or so I've been been digging up the amaranth weed and putting them in the garbage, I still have some more to dig.A lot of the weeds are in the grass which makes it hard to see and to dig , the wheel barrel is just about to the top .Tomorrow its suppose to rain through Sun, (this is Fri). I looked at welder gloves, all were so big I don't know if I could keep them on, will look for a smaller size.
