This $40 Japanese Tool Replaces Half the Kit I Use in My Garden – It Weeds, Tills, and Plants

A vegetable garden with crops growing in raised beds.

Sometimes the best tools are those that can handle many jobs. Having one versatile tool for many tasks is ideal, especially when you are working with smaller spaces. And I have found a Japanese hand hoe and tiller that ticks many boxes for when precision and power are needed.

The multi-purpose tool can be used to prepare soil for planting, break up compacted soil, clear weeds, make seed drills, make planting holes, and more. It is super-versatile, reduces the need to switch between tools, and has advantages over larger garden tools or mechanical alternatives.
