Korean Hand Plow (EZ Digger, or Ho-Mi)
When we asked women to recommend tools to us via our online survey, four recommended the Korean hand plow. And one of our friends here in Pennsylvania was so adamant that we find a source & start selling the tool that she drew us a picture so we'd know what we were looking for. As a consequence, we're very happy to finally be able to offer the Korean hand plow, or EZ Digger (aka Ho-Mi, or "little ground spear.") This multipurpose tool is made of hand-forged steel, deeply set in a hardwood handle. The curve of the pointed blade allows soil to be thrown to the side like a plow, and the edges can be used to level, mound, and loosen soil and cover seeds. Great for weeding, digging holes, opening and closing rows, loosening soil around plants, and thinning plants. According to Dr. John Bartok of the University of Connecticut, the Ho-Mi may be the oldest metal gardening/farming tool, going back to the early iron age and possibly the bronze age. Can so many generations of farmers / gardeners be wrong?
Blade length: 7 inches
