I have s Hoss wheelhoe with many attachments. After using both double wheeled and single, I prefer the single wheel model. While weeding on both sides of the plant looks good in theory, it is tricky. Most of the time I use the oscillating hoe and work right beside the plant. Then do the otherside on the turn around pass. The wheel hoe is a game changer. It exceeded my expectations!

Someone needs to design a flame weeded that includes a platform & wheel for the propane tank! I have looked at a lot of weed torches & haven't seen any hand weeders that dont make the operator carry the tank. I have my tank on a dolly but it is awkward and not efficient because I can't move the tank & treat at the same time.

Tell me the difference between hoeing the soil and running the tiller at the cultivation setting where the tines dig 1 inch or less of soil?

Lots of talk but he works the earth right beside the weed.
