Hoes and rakes are traditional gardening tools used for soil cultivation, planting, and maintenance. A hoe typically features a long handle with a flat blade used for breaking up soil, weed removal, and shaping garden beds. Rakes generally have a long handle with a series of teeth or prongs designed for leveling soil, spreading mulch, or collecting debris. Both tools are essential for gardening, landscaping, and agricultural activities.
