Imacasa 16" Machete de Suelo or Ground Machete

Product Description

The "machete de suelo" or ground machete blade is not directly in line with the handle, but rather, set at an angle for cropping vegetation parallel to the ground while in an upright position. Perfect for raised beds! The smaller 16" machete de suelo is great for removing cover crops or dead plant residue from gardens; scalping the above-ground vegetation and leaving the root biomass in place to enrich the soil.
