The 7 Best Soil Hoes For The Garden – Guidebook

With a soil hoe, you can easily loosen the soil in your bed or dig up the garden. This is important so that the soil can be supplied with new nutrients again. In the past, this work was quite laborious, because the work with a standard spade takes a lot of time and strength. Now, with a soil hoe, this procedure works much easier and faster, as it often has an electric motor or a gasoline engine. Thus, tedious gardening becomes child’s play!

So that you can make a decision between the many different variants, we have created a checklist for you. Here you can find out everything about the best soil hoes. You can then take a closer look at many different models in our product recommendations.

Checklist For Soil Hoes

Antriebsart
  • A power hoe with electric drive, is easy to operate, relatively quiet and works without exhaust emissions. It should have at least 1,400 watts of power.
  • An alternative to the electric power ho e are specimens with a rechargeable battery. These are particularly interesting for small beds and short periods of use.
  • Soil hoes with gasoline engines are more powerful and independent of mains power. Depending on the area of application, the installed 2- or 4-stroke engine should have an output of 0.7 to 3.7 kW. However, noise and exhaust emissions may well be perceived as disturbing by the environment.
  • Diesel-powered models are characterized by low fuel consumption and high torque. However, they are heavy, expensive and can only be found in the professional sector.
Arbeitsbreite und Arbeitstiefe
  • For soil work in small areas such as flower beds, power hoes with a working width of 20 to 25 cm are already an option.
  • For larger areas such as vegetable gardens, a working width of between 30 and 45 cm is a good choice.
  • Working widths of45 to 75 cm are already suitable for entire home gardens or allotment gardens.
  • Some heavy-duty gasoline hoes even reach working widths of over 100 cm. This is even variable due to removable hoeing stars.
  • For the power hoe to really be used as a spade substitute, the working depth must be right. The minimum value here is 25 cm. Even better is 30 cm.
  • Practical are copies with adjustable working depth.
Komfort und Extras
  • So that the soil hoe can be easily transported to the field or bed, it should have a chassis. At least this applies to models weighingmore than 10 kg.
  • Ideally, the transport wheels should be able to be folded up or removed completely.
  • Ergonomically shaped handles and a height-adjustable handlebar are important for you as a machine operator.
  • On many models, the handlebar can be folded down in a similar way to a lawn mower. This simplifies storage in the garage or tool shed.

FAQ For Garden Hoes

What is a soil hoe?

A soil hoe is a garden tool that makes your work much easier. It consists of several blades, which can move independently via a motor. Thus, it is possible to dig up the bed or loosen the soil in a relatively short time

How much does a soil hoe cost?

Small soil hoes are already available for under 100 euros. The larger and more powerful they are, the more expensive they become. Then the price is about 400 euros.

How is a soil hoe powered?

The soil hoe can be powered electrically or with a battery. Note that such a device, however, must be regularly recharged. There are also hoes with gasoline engines, which do not require electricity, or hoes with diesel power. The latter are relatively quiet, but can rarely be found in specialized stores or on the Internet and are also very expensive

What are the different types of hoes?

Hoes with electric drive work quietly and very efficiently. However, motor hoes with rechargeable batteries are only suitable for small beds, as the battery usually only lasts for a certain period of time. Gasoline engines, on the other hand, are also very powerful. However, they emit a lot of exhaust fumes and are also usually very noisy. Diesel-powered hoes are environmentally friendly. However, they are usually used only in large nurseries and are rarely found for home use

What working width should a soil hoe have?

For small areas, widths of 20 to 25 cm are suitable. For larger areas or vegetables or allotments, the working width can even be up to 75 cm. Very heavy equipment, on the other hand, has a width of up to 100 cm. Here, the hoeing stars can even be removed or removed as needed

What working depth should a soil hoe have?

Ideally, the working depth should be about 30 cm, so that the soil can be dug up optimally. With some devices, the depth can even be adjusted

What extras are there?

So that you can transport the soil hoe well, it should have a chassis. Many models are much too heavy to carry back and forth regularly. Most soil hoes from 10 kilos have such a chassis

What is the difference between a garden tiller and a soil hoe?

There is no difference between the two terms, as they are used synonymously for the same device. This can sometimes lead to confusion. Nevertheless, both devices stand for loosening the soil

When should the soil hoe be used?

The bed is best dug up in the fall. This will make the dug up soil crumbly in the winter , as the frost will cause the clods of soil to break up. This way the soil is not so firm and you can work better. But you can also dig up the garden in spring. The best month for this is March, because the soil has enough time to recompact before summer

How powerful should a soil hoe be?

An electronic soil hoe should have a power of at least 1400 watts. Gasoline hoes, on the other hand, can provide up to 3.7 kW
