Thanks so much for all of the opinions!
They are so varied, though, that I'm still not sure about the value of the hoe.
I am looking for something that I could use for 5-10 minutes whenever the spirit moved me and wouldn't require a complete costume change and shower after using it. Grubbing about on the ground is fine when you are committing a day to yard work but not when you just want to spend a few minutes at it and remain clean.
This is the one I was considering:

The Winged Weeder looks interesting. Which size do you guys have/prefer?
I already own a long-handled Ho-Mi which is okay for some things but I'm not totally happy with it.
Thanks again!
