The working head
Virtually all the hoes cited in this article are available in different sizes. Select a size that suits your body size and strength, For instance, chopping hoes are generally around 125 - 180 mm wide. Limit yourself to a tool which you can comfortably use without serious strain.
Generally speaking a heavier soil is better suited to a heavier hoe.
With most hoes the blade will be bevelled on the outer side, to form the working point or surface.
