RIVER VALLEY BOTTOM TOOLS

Crop workers on commercial farms along the Connecticut River Valley are used to long hours of hoeing weeds from among the row crops. They are accustomed to selecting the right tools for their work and many of them are glad to use this rustic and practical Long Handle Hoe.

Our hoes allow working standing straight up, not bent over and hacking at the earth with a shorter handled hoe. The pitch of our blade rests parallel to the earth. That makes quick weed removal possible with minimum effort. Our hoes are made with saw blade-quality steel and can hold a sharp edge. The long handles are made of ash and carved with slightly flattened sides to increase handle strength. They weigh less than three pounds and won't tire the shoulders.

Now, home gardeners too can take advantage of our design and ease the aching back that often comes with using the wrong tool for the job.

Our long handle hoes are made one at a time in Deerfield, MA on the banks of the Connecticut River where alluvial soils produce rich crops of onions, potatoes, corn, vegetables and tobacco.

At RIVER BOTTOM GARDENING TOOLS WE discovered long ago that there are gardening tasks that are not easily solved with shovels. Our gardener's hatchet can slash through sod or chop stalks with ease.  It is a thin-blade tool, not designed for chopping firewood, but rather for garden tasks where close control and flexibility are needed more than brute force.

Do handle this tool with care as its saw blade-quality steel blade can hold a sharp edge. $34.95 plus UPS ground.
