A hoe is a simple agricultural implement consisting of a shaft to which a thin broad metal plate is affixed at a right angle. It differs from a spade which has a metal plate fixed in line with the shaft. A hoe is used for breaking up the soil, for making furrows, and for weeding. The typical motion of hoeing is a chopping motion. A similar tool is the adze, which is used for shaping wood.
