A hoe rake is a gardening tool that combines features of a hoe and a rake. It typically has a long handle with a flat, wide blade on one end, which is used for breaking up soil, leveling ground, or removing weeds. The other end often has tines or prongs, similar to a rake, allowing for the gathering of debris or soil. This tool is particularly useful in landscaping and gardening tasks, making it easier to prepare garden beds or maintain flower beds. The versatility of the hoe rake makes it a valuable addition to any gardener's toolkit, alongside other tools like the shovel and trowel.
