Electric tool for weeding etc

I have a very large flower bed and weeding and hoeing are very painful because I have a back problem that will not allow me to stand for very long.
Just wondered if there is an electric hoe/weeding tool.

Thanks for any replies.

 

Think thats called a Gardener !

The trouble with anything electric , mains cable or battery is their weight or messing with long power cords, so do 'feel' them before you buy.

You could use a standard Hoe but with a longer handle so you do not keep bending forwards as you typically do with a standard handle.

Think our option would be the 'no dig' way where you simply deep mulch the area, which feeds the soil and suppresses the weeds, or , if you can place it between the plants ? a weed control fabric, as hand / hoe weeding is never ending.

 

Ricky101 is absolutely right. Weeding is incessant. However, I stumbled on a surprise suppressant a couple of years ago with my parsnips. A local farmer let me have a load of 'farmyard' and, to keep them weed free over autumn/winter until we needed them, I spread the manure all around them, about 3-4 inches deep, and trod it down to carefully seal it round each plant. It worked and the plot was still weed free when I harvested the last ones well after Christmas. I'm assuming the plant type wouldn't affect the principle.

Before anyone challenges the idea on the grounds that fresh manure makes root crops fork, it didn't happen BUT the foliage on my parsnips was about 6 inches high when I did it so I presume the roots had already headed downwards by then.
