I know the author is not a fan of Dutch hoes, but I really like them. They have the advantage that you can put your full weight on them, pushing through the bastard roots of the bastard roots. The pull stroke is there to clear the detritus out of the way. I haven not had much luck with oscillating/double action hoes. I suspect thats because the soils I've been using have a shit ton of stones and the weeds have longarsed tap roots.
