Two wheel hoes created from discarded small bicycles

Make your own wheel hoe at a fraction of the cost of buying a new one.

Background

Wheel hoes are fantastic labor savors in larger gardens and organic farming. Unfortunately, they are still a boutique item and usually cost at least $150. Folks who are handy in the shop can build one from an old child's bicycle very inexpensively.

This is where you can describe what already exists, what is needed, etc. You may want to include inline references. [1]

Advantages:

  • Be more productive in the field
  • Ability to cultivate more acreage
  • Save money over purchasing new
  • Re-purpose a bicycle meant for the landfill
  • Custom size the unit for your specific situation

Design

Start with a small-sized child's bicycle. Smaller wheels make the hoe a little handier.

  1. Remove the chain, pedals, crank, front fork, cables, accessories, and just generally pull everything apart.

  1. Cut the main for-and-aft frame tubes out, and cut the two front forks off of the steering column. Leave the back triangle of the frame alone. This part of the bike will form the basis of our wheel hoe.
