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.

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

You need to set up a screen plant to rid all the rocks you got... then you can make your driveway better

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?

Not much! But, can you get right next to the plant?
