In the 1910's, 20's, 30's, and 40's the wheel cultivator ruled the gardening world. Every big garden had a wheel hoe, and the Planet Junior wheel hoes were king! But in the 1950's market gardening started to quickly lose ground to industrial farming, while herbicides began replacing manual weeding tools. By the 70's we had almost lost a wealth of small- scale agricultural skills and tools. Fortunately enough young homesteaders and old-timers kept the knowledge alive. Hoss Tools was started by two bright market gardeners who were frustrated with the poor quality of garden tools available in hardware stores. They duplicated the original Planet Jr wheel cultivator so well that the new attachments fit perfectly with the old antique Planet Junior wheel hoes (and also the Red Pig wheel hoes – a previous revival of the Planet Jr) The wheel cultivator has been used for so many generations for one reason: it works great! When your garden is too big for hand hoeing and too small for a tractor, the wheel hoe is the tool to use. It is the easiest way of manually cultivating and weeding long rows of garden plants.
