Traditional agricultural implements like the harrow, hoe, hand weeder, moat, chain pump, and dhekli provide several advantages. The harrow cultivates soil to allow crops to grow faster while killing weeds. Hoes are used to shape soil, remove weeds, and harvest root crops. Hand weeders are affordable and require little labor. Moats historically provided defense for buildings. Chain pumps bring water up from wells without labor, saving time and money.
