Pole owns home rated as inadequate? (3-4)

I believe the answer is:
the moon
'pole' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'owns home rated as inadequate?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'home' is 'hemo' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ton' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
