What "stirrup hoe" means in gardening
A stirrup hoe (also known as a scuffle hoe or hula hoe) is a gardening tool that has a loop-shaped blade or a flat blade with a sharp edge that is attached to a long handle. It is designed to remove weeds and loosen soil in a push-pull motion while standing upright, making it easier for gardeners to work without straining their backs. The tool gets its name from its resemblance to a stirrup on a horse's saddle. Stirrup hoes are often used for weed control in large vegetable gardens and row crops.
