I love these lovage comments! We have a very vigorous plant, at least 8 ft tall ('til I trimmed it) which is a great conversation starter, and helps shade the lettuce. The silly thing is, I forget to use it. I'm so grateful to know I can dry the leaves for later use.

Thanks, Yury. Here's how the Fokin hoe far outranked other tools, in clearing/preparing my garden: it easily sliced through the soil near the surface for shallow-rooted weeds, quickly made or redistributed a couple raised garden areas, as well as removing weeds. I also used it to deeply dig out tenacious weed and grass roots, including some gout weed. I'm impressed!

Welcome back, Yury! I got a Fokin hoe for a Christmas gift (my choice), and I absolutely love it! I was able to clear our whole garden for spring planting in a fraction of the time & effort it would have taken me before. Now I need one to give back as a gift! How often do you recommend sharpening the blade?
