The large mechanical version of the rakes used in farming, called the straw garu, is built in various forms (eg wheelbarrow, rotary rake etc.). Non-mechanical farming can be done with various forms of hand rake.

Histori

Because weeding is a constant problem in ancient Chinese and medieval agricultural processes, it leads to the discovery of weeding rakes. The invention of the Chinese sweeping rake comes from the invention of the Chinese rake. In the Chinese agricultural text Qimin Yaoshu was written by the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jia Sixie. Harrows originally called gear because of its shape. According to its form, Chinese rakes are divided into three sub-classifications: Strip rake, Y-shaped rake, and square rake. The ropes seen in the Wei and Jin dynasty mural are rakes.

Type of rake

Rakes of modern hands usually have steel or plastic, or bamboo teeth or teeth, although historically they are made with wood or iron. The handle is often made of wood or metal. Some rakes are made of two sides and are made with a blunt blade in the form of a bit of a sickle, used to remove dead grass (weeds) from the grass. When the teeth of the rakes have longer teeth, the rakes can be arranged in the form of an old folding fan.

Cultural association

If the rake is located on the ground with the teeth face up, as shown in the top picture, and someone accidentally stepped on the teeth, the handle of the rake can swing rapidly upwards, colliding with the victim's face. This is often seen in slapstick and cartoon comedies, such as Tom and Jerry and The Simpsons the "Cape Feare" episode, where a series of rakes becomes what Sideshow Bob describes as his "arch -nemesis ". There is a Russian saying "to travel twice on the same rake" (?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? means' same".

Heavy shaker

For soil conditioning and de-straw and removing larger pieces of debris. Most weeds have weaker and shallower roots than grass and thus lose straw along with (after) necessary sunlight, fertilizers and seeds, and if later chemicals are needed to repair, make good grass plants. Larger tools (or lawn mower attachments) are more commonly used for large de-straw areas or soil preparations. But the act of making the ground barren and exposed to sunlight is not good and the worms do not like it. It must be protected with straw afterwards. Soil aeration tools do not remove weeds but prepare the soil without exposure.

Plastic or metal

There are pros and cons to each. Plastic hoses are generally lighter and lower cost. Because they can be made in larger sizes, they are better suited for leaves that have just been stored. The jagged metal jugs are more suitable for spring rake when debris is often wet or rotted and can be collected properly when metal tines penetrate into the weeds layer.
