Every now and then, you discover a wonderful little tool that makes you wonder how you coped beforehand – and here’s another, the Sneeboer Weeding/Sowing Finger. The 2cm wide by 8cm deep blade, or ‘finger’, is equally adept at spot weeding in a well-tended bed or border, or drawing out a drill in a seed bed, and a combination of the length (it measures a mere 20cm overall) and the cherry wood handle gives you total control. Find a place in your shed for this little finger now!

As featured in the article ‘Grow Your Own – Win the War on Weeds: This month discover how to beat the battle with weeds…’ Your Home magazine, May 2009
Manoeuvre with confidence through your beds in search of weeds with the easily navigable Sneeboer Hand Hoe/Weeder, before removing the imposters with the 4cm wide by 6cm deep blade. With a carefully curved 20cm long neck – hand forged in Holland in the traditional Sneeboer way – between the cherry wood handle and the blade, the hoe can easily reach into spaces weeds thought were safe. Storage is not a problem either; at only 34cm long, the Hand Hoe/Weeder will fit comfortably on any potting shed shelf.
"Harrod Horticultural has recently started retailing the range from this Dutch manufacturer. All their products have a nice hand-crafted rustic look to them that I personally find pleasing. This superbly made hand tool is great for getting into those corners and awkward spots that a conventional hoe cannot reach - and is also excellent for cleaning out chicken houses.
