Solution for 30 July cryptic crossword clue

Weed round front of semi with instrument, gardening aid (8)
Solution – Hosepipe


Another clue that is constructed bit by bit – like you might do if you were playing charades. 


Weed = hoe


Hoe is "round front of semi" ie placed around the first letter of "semi"  ie ho + s + e = hose


And then a word for an instrument follows – which has to be a four letter word given that the solution only has 8 letters.


Hose + pipe = a type of gardening aid.
