Rock & Roll Farm

Hoes I’ve Known: Diamond

This is my second favorite hoe.

We sing a lot out in the fields and early this year I decided to try to sing every song I know before the season is over. The hardest part of singing every song you know is trying to simply remember the songs - harder than remembering the words. The diamond hoe reminded me of about seven diamond songs. Now whenever I’m diamond hoeing I sing that Mary Lou Lord song, She’d Be a Diamond.

I select the diamond when the tiniest weeds need to be removed. When all four edges are sharpened to a razor’s edge, even the microscopic sprouts are cut down. Easy to maneuver between seedlings and larger plants.
