The Fokina flat cutter is one of the most misunderstood tools in gardening. Most users wield it like a hoe—bent over, thumbs down, chopping deep into the soil—and then wonder why they're exhausted and overrun with weeds. This article reveals the single most important secret to using it correctly: hold it like a scythe, not a hoe. With thumbs up, back straight, and a shallow skimming motion, the blade cuts weeds at just 2–3 cm deep, preventing new seeds from surfacing. The result? Cleaner beds, dramatically less effort, and—paradoxically—less future weeding. A simple grip change turns a back-breaking chore into a glide, proving that the tool's greatest enemy is not the soil, but the gardener's habit. For the complete guide with all the details, read the full article here: https://ecominded.net/hold_ploskorez_correctly
