A proper onion hoe might well prove useful as well


Does such a thing exist? I sometimes catch my onions with the Dutch hoe -
I don't think the onions like these little cuts and grazes. Difficult to
always "miss" them sometimes though when weeds are very close and I'm
getting tired after having just hoed several rows of them.

Perhaps accounts for the handful of rotten onions when I harvest them?

I use the smaller of the two Wolf Push Pull Weeders which has end guards so
it's much easier using it between plants, it's also self sharpening.
