Called a "weed wiper" I think. I've heard they work well but have no 
personal experience.
I like the dutch hoe. A push type hoe with a narrow blade that takes far 
less effort than
the old conventional hoe. It looks a bit like the ones in this link only 
mine is thinner and
lighter. Might have belonged to my grandfather for all I know. When i 
get tired I can always
lean on it. :-)
