I am  a garden hand tool used to cultivate the soil and remove weeds. It's an ancient tool that predates the plow. Hoes were used in ancient Egypt and in the Sumerian culture to cultivate gardens. It has a simple design—a long handle with a paddle, blade or stirrup at the end, typically at an angle to the handle. A draw hoe has a blade set at approximately a right angle to the shaft. The user chops into the ground and then pulls (draws) the blade towards them. Altering the angle of the handle.
