What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the loop hoe, which he considers the most efficient tool for weed removal. It has two sharp edges, allowing it to cut weed roots by pushing and pulling just below the surface of the soil. This action effectively 'shaves' the weeds off. When performed on a hot day, the dislodged weeds dry out and decompose, returning nutrients to the soil. He suggests using the loop hoe probably once a week to quickly maintain weed-free rows. He specifically recommends the 'True Temper' brand and advises keeping the tool out of the weather and applying linseed oil to the handle for longevity.

Goal: Efficiently remove weeds using the push-pull action of a loop hoe.
