Uncover dirt, in a way (3)

I believe the answer is:

hoe

(Other definitions for hoe that I've seen before include "gardening implement" , "Tool for loosening soil and scraping up weeds" , "Attend to beds" , "Garden tool with a flat blade" , "Weeding implement" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
