Positioned at the center of its wheel, a powerful hub motor provides all the force needed for the Solus to slice off even large, dense weeds in pathways. The Solus is very fast, and very efficient. The Solus: Multitasking at its best SOLUS Electric Wheel Hoe 3 Read our Tine Weeding Rake Instruction Sheet for the fundamentals on timing, conditions, and technique… By removing the center tines, for example, you can weed both sides of a single-row crop with your rake. They can also be used for tine-weeding over single-row crops, or weeding between rows.Īll three models are useful for cultivating crusty soil in overwintering crops. Used this way they can replace any hoe you might use and are much faster and more efficient - as long as the weeds are at thread stage. The narrower models are best for working between more mature crops that are spaced between 4' and 9' apart. The 21'-wide model is most often used for tine-weeding multiple rows of a high-density seeding, especially those that are tightly spaced such as carrots and greens mixes. The primary key to their versatility lies in varying the amount of downward pressure you exert on the handle during use. When drawn over established crops, the tiny weeds are pulled out and the crop is left unharmed and weed-free.

These rakes quickly and efficiently remove emerging weeds when they are easiest to kill - at thread stage. Watch a video clip of the 21'-wide Tine Weeding Rake by Jack Algiere, of Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture… TINE-WEEDING RAKES 1 & 2
