I find the hoe works best with little weeds, but it merely breaks off the 
upper growth.  For things like grass, you'll probably have to pull it out 
(or trowel it out.)

Our garden got away from us, so there's been grass and other weeds 
growing like crazy.  My weeding tool of choice this time:  Lawn mower.  
(Next will come the tiller, and a second planting of beans and peas.)  
I've also been using a scickle (that may be spelled wrong... I think it's 
right, but it looks wrong) to take out the grass and leave the tomatos.  
These are more extreme "taking back the garden" measures, though... keep 
on top of your weeding some how and you won't need to do this!
