Correct usage of hoe

The hoe used to be an agricultural tool for every farmer, and every farmer's child could use it. With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, many people become unfamiliar with hoes. I have land in my home. I can't dig with a hoe. Facing the loess and the sky, many people have no impression of that day. Now, the hoe at home has also changed. Many people just use it to dig wild vegetables, and their own small gardens will also use it. Tell me how to use it.

First, let's talk about the long handled hoe. This hoe is very heavy, and its handle is long. It is used for digging and growing crops. Some of the land in the countryside is very small and there are no machines. Many people will dig by themselves. This will use a long handled hoe.

One hand is in front of the other, and the other hand is behind. The distance between the front hand and the hoe accounts for two thirds of the whole handle. The distance between the back hand and the tail of the long handle is only 20 cm. Don't stick to the end. The use of force is uncomfortable.

The distance between the front hand and the back hand is 40cm - 50cm, which is suitable. You can use your power freely and feel comfortable.

When digging, first raise the hoe above your head, and then lift it with your front hand. The latter hand is naturally pressed on the tail of the hoe handle.

Push the raised hoe towards the ground you want to dig. Press down with the front hand and lift the tail of the hoe handle with the rear hand.

The strength of both hands should run at the same time, not separately. Then you can dig again, again and again, and gradually you will find it much easier.

The other is a short handled hoe, which is used to squat down and dig. It is mainly used for digging wild vegetables. It can be operated by one hand or continuously. Very convenient.
