I bought this for my sister who is an avid gardener. She was excited to get it! The tool is very sharp (the safety cover is definitely a welcome addition), and I can see it being a wonderful tool to use for Spring planting. The blade is quite large for a hand tool: I can see why the manufacturer describes it as a “hand plow”.
OK, it won’t substitute for a plow or harrow, but it is really handy for weeding and planting/transplanting. I seldom go to the garden to do anything without falling back on this tool.
I am a heavy duty gardner. This beats all the other tools I have. It removes weeds and has been invaluable for my brick paver install. Can’t say enough positive things about this.
Bought this for my wife as a present , she uses it on her allotment , she loves it , she can do weeding now without having to kneel down. Only downside 4 stars cos a bit pricy
This is brilliant, gets any and all weeds out with very, very little effort from the user. Best tool I’ve had. I use it in a stone border, and also in rockery that has wood chips. It’s really good
I love this thing! I’ve used it constantly and find it serves most purposes in our allotment. Great for cultivating, digging out couch grass, hoeing between plants but can also level soil, make seed drills etc. it’s simply but beautifully made and I would say represents super value for money!
Hackan r rolig att anvnda i landet. Den r inte slipad, s det fr man gra sjlv om man vill. Kolstl och ett trhandtag. Ligger bra i handen. Kul att kunna arbeta i trdgrden med detta koreanska handsmidda (?) verktyg.
Bring the generous wife that I am, I wanted to get my husband something special. Since he has a love of all things outdoors and dirty, a hoe was the perfect idea!
For real though, he says it’s the best garden tool he has. Our soil is heavy clay and this has helped him in the garden where the tiller can’t fit.
I’m a gardener – and have just started using this tool this year. OMG swinging it to get at wild onions, dandelions etc so nice. It goes deep enough to get roots. Perfect for injuring little weed seed starts by scoring it across the earth. Used the point to trench near edging and the flat blade to shift the grade slightly for mulching. I’m used to using a garden spade and getting a sore palm from digging…but not anymore! Yep, do love it and think I’ll add it to my Christmas gift ideas for other gardeners I know. Oh and I truly abused it this past week – came thru beautifully.
I guess the rust that came on it was at no extra cost to me, that’s a win. Other than that, it works quite well. I suggest you buy one and see if you got the bonus rust….
This is my new favorite tool. It rips into grass roots and weeds between flagstone. The best part is that it’s WELL MADE! I think I’m needing an extra one.
I have used my little hand mattock for weeding on our heavy clay for years and years this new tool is magic and is already my go-to! Well done Homi Youngju!
This is the absolute best hand hoe for me. I have a large length of concrete mowing strip and I can use this angled hoe to quickly remove the grass and dirt that crowds up and tries to grow over the edge. It’s also wonderful for getting between plants to clear out the weeds. You can use the smallest end at the tip all the way up to the wide base depending on the need.
This will also create a good sowing line or planting hole. I love it.
What a sharp tool to get those hard to dig weeds.
Lovely to handle. Great for clay soil. Good for weeding and soil turning. A bit like a mini plough.
I am so happy with this tool. I’ve managed to pull weeds I previously had not been able to remove between other plants.
Absolutely brilliant tool, easy to use, appropriate weight and sharpness! Very smart tool!!!
My husband ran over my hand hoe with the lawn mower and I had to immediately purchase another. This is the best garden tool I own.
Second purchase, these are superior gardening tools. They make excellent gifts!
a more colorful handle would be good–I added bright orange tape to the handle so I wouldn’t lose i
Great hand held hoe. love it. The metal on the hoe is a little rough (not polished like alot of hoes) but who cares its a hoe. It works fantastic. Easy to use and does a great job geting into tight spaces. love i
Added to the fun of gardening my backyard garden.
Ingeniously made to make farming easier.
A must-have product if you are gardening or farming.
Please buy it by all means.
This is very well made and a sturdy Homi you can get at Amazon. It just works perfectly and outperfons every garden tools similar to this.
Definitely buy it!!!
This is hands down the best gardening tool I’ve (you’ll) ever owned! I’ve been gardening for nearly 50 years (on and off) I wish I’d known about this tool back in the day. Buy one you won’t regret it 🙂
I ordered this after seeing a video of a Korean gardener using it. It really makes it much easier to dig small holes for planting. Much better than a hand shovel. I’m an avid gardener and this is a game changer. Very well made and sturdy.
So I just got this tool, and really can’t comment on longevity except to say that it looks sturdy if not eternal.
What I do want to say is this: I bought this tool because after a robust session weeding out ill-considered groundcover that had spread too far, I finally broke my Cobrahead weeder. I like that tool a lot, was doing stupid things with it, and would buy one again. That said, I figured since I had to buy something in that general purpose (weeding, digging, trenching) vein, I might try a Ho Mi, and after googling around found this one.
Just doing a few things with it, I’m delighted with what a machine it is for weeding, cultivating, and making furrows. Makes creating borders a breeze, even easier than Cobrahead. So use wise, this is a keeper. I guess I could imagine still wanting a Cobrahead because a) why not? and b) there might be some small scale work getting between cracks, etc., that it might work better for. But for many uses this design is more powerful even than that one.
One possible issue: the handle is relatively small (short). I think this may be intentional, as it is weighted very nicely and ergonomically. That said, if you have big hands you might miss the more ample handle of the Cobrahead weeder. On the whole though this one will make you want to put on your clogs and get out there weeding.
Wow, I wish I’d had one of these before as it’s brilliant at loosening soil around plants and helps with weeding. It is nicely sturdy, and well-balanced.
What a useful tool for gardening
Sturdy and well priced
A fantastic design that makes its performance top of the line. Its easy to hold, weighs just enough to make it effective but not tiring to hold, and provides a functionality that is very handy. Weeding edging, moving soil, planting, and maintaining plant beds all in one. And, if you admire the forged look of a well-made tool, this is the one.
This was a gift for my husband. He’s very pleased with it.
Really worth the money. You need to own this tool!
Best homi. I use it whenever I’m gardening wouldn’t be without i
I had been looking for a hand plow that could be used in my higher raised beds. I like to turn my soil when I am preparing it for the next crop. This tool is great at getting as deep as you like and turning amendments as well as digging any possible unwanted weeds and/or roots from previous crops. Well made
This little guy make gardening ever easier.
Can’t not do anything without this charm.
This tool is wonderful for garden weeding and is sturdy and well built. However, it doesn’t do as well on the driveway. The tool is too wide on the tip to get into the cracks to reach the weed roots.
If you garden, you need this tool. It laughs at my smug heavy clay soil.
Really beautiful tool. feels great to hold in your hand even if your using it all day. Point is nice and sharp for breaking through hard soil or uprooting weeds and the curve is just right for cultivating and grading. I just love the hand forged look too.
It works great. I like the leather cover that makes the product nice. So far so great. Thanks
Love this – it cuts through my heavy clay soil like a knife through butter. Very comfortable to use.
Am ideal garden impliment. I got several to give as presents. Very good quality. Easy to handle. The blade cover is an added bonus.
Outstanding product that lives up to it’s advertising. Living in Hawaii, the ground is extremely hard….broken many a garden tool in the past….no problem for this tool. Definitely up to the task….highly recommend!
Just amazing. You can do so many things with it. Really well made and well priced. Why is this not the top tool in any garden magazine? Wish there was a larger long handled version too.
Why pay extra? How much better can this be compared to same kind of tool that costs a lot less? I was curious. So I ordered this and another homi from another manufacturer that cost less. There definitely is a difference. This homi is heavier and is well balanced. The extra weight provides an advantage allowing you to not work as hard (less downward force needed). The tool just feels more comfortable in the hand compared to the cheaper, lighter and less well balanced homi I purchased.
Sharp and can do pinpoint weeding around the veggies. Just pulling it across the top of the soil rids the weeds, or with little force easily goes subsoil to uproot the weeds.
Not only does it shave weed, it’s great for planting, clearing debris, even cutting through tough roots. The quality is exceptionally rugged enough to handle even the hardest of soils. Having a HOMI also eliminates carrying around of a tote full of hand tools. Every gardener should have a HOMI in their garden tool arsenal.
My new favorite garden tool! I don’t know how I survived all these years without it!
This has been the best tool in the garden. It’s amazing how easy it cuts through the soil.
That’s my new gardening buddy! Super sturdy, sharp blade, not too heavy. It’s easy to handle (ergonomic) and very effective even on compacted soil. Just love it! Highly recommend it!
If I’m working in the yard this tool is usually within my reach!! Very useful and well made!?
These are amazing tools!!!
One for me, another for present.
The best gardening tool, ever. PERIOD! You gotta get it.
It is so easy to work with in the garden, great for planting, wedding, breaking up the soil. I love it!I had one like it for about 15 years, but left it outside all the time and it finally started oming apart. So I like that this one has a cover and I will take better care of it this time becuz it is indispensible.
by far this is a superior product, materials and workmanship is excellent. and it comes with a very excellent high quality sheath. ( not a cover, a true sheath. ) fine product… used for hand weeding and small flower garden tilling. Works better than any hoe or other garden utensil I have ever used, and I grew up on a farm in Oklahoma USA
This is a traditional homi that makes weed control in the lawn and garden an absolute breeze! It was recommended to me by my Korean neighbor – it’s best garden hand tool we own! Plus, when the metal scale (from manufacturing) wears off, it gets a really nice broken-in look after a few hours in the soil. It also makes for a great Halloween costume prop!
I stumbled upon this tool through searching for gardening tools. It’s an odd and weird looking tool, and after many YouTube and reading about it, I decided to give it a try. To my complete surprise and amazement, this tool is so efficient and effective at weeding. It’s insane! The pointed end lends the tool to dig quickly into the ground and the flaring side of the triangle just basically grabs the root stock of the weed. Once you pull on the handle, the whole weed comes out of the ground with roots and all. I normally would weed a section of ground at a time then hand collect the weeds… no more pulling on them and no more stress on my hands and wrists. I can weed so fast now with less effort. I would love to have this tool attached to a longer handle so that I don’t have to be down on my knees weeding. That said, this years-old tool has proven to be best at what it does. I like it so much that I bought 2 for myself and a gift for a close friend. Try it, this thing is super cool.
This is a must have hand gardening/farming tool from Korea.
Small and simple design but it does a lot — digging, scraping, cutting, etc…
I am very happy w/ purchase.
I strongly recommend.
Lightweight and really makes it easy to dig up the dirt. It’s very sharp and makes gardening fun.
This is my go-to tool for digging anything anywhere! It is extremely well made!
I love that this artisan is able to employ local older villagers.
My wife really love this HOMI after she used it several time. it’s easy to handle and works for everything for gardening. Really recommendable!!!
Perfect length and easy to handle. I used this for yard work. Could remove weeds without much effort.
Very sturdy. Highly recommend.
I don’t know how I ever got along without this! My homi made such quick work of weeding a thickly matted plot of invasive creeping buttercup. I also love that it’s multifunctional. This one is strong and sturdy – I love it!
This tool is THE BOMB!!! I don’t usually write reviews, but people need to know this tool is awesome. I dug out centipede grass from my garden with it. Very well made. No doubt this will be used for years to come.
This is the most beautifully crafted homi I have seen, and the tool is made to last a lifetime. My only complaint is that the angle which with the blade doubles back is too extreme. This is good for plowing and weeding, but makes opening a hole for planting more difficult, and leads to a elongated trough, rather than a relatively symmetrical hole. That said, I haven’t seen a more desirable homi from other makers.
I saw this as a review on a Youtube video and thought it would be good in the garden, and also to dig Ramps with.
I am not disappointed. It is about the best thing I have ever used to hoe with. It fits well in your hand, it slices through the dirt like a knife through hot butter, and turns the soil over as it goes. Very little effort is required by the handler, to turn your soil over, and to dig deep too.
I would buy this again, for sure.
It is a mini tiller, rake, digger. It is a must. It makes gardening fun..
Master craft. Very easy to use and very high quality.
Made in Korea one is wonderful and perfect
my friends recommended this and and i bought it
and I can recommended to my whole friends and family
I love this
This tool is easy to use, effectively digs out the roots of weeds and nicely smooths out the soil once the weeds are out.
Its easy to use, intuitive design, and superb built quality(Hand made) is a must have tool for gardening.
It is very sturdy and the material used in this are top notch.
I can’t believe I have been using plastic tools before this.
