Identify Weeds and Position the Tool

What happens here

Begin by identifying the specific areas within the garden bed that are overgrown with weeds. Take the long-handled oscillating hoe, which may also be referred to as a stirrup hoe or scuffle hoe due to its characteristic hinged blade. Position the flat cutting blade of the hoe just beneath the soil surface, ensuring it is level and oriented to effectively cut through the weed stems. The objective is to glide the blade horizontally a shallow depth below the ground, targeting the base of the weeds without digging too deeply.

Goal: Set up the tool for effective weed removal.
