Know before you buy
While designed for the confined spaces of greenhouses and containers, its forged steel construction is durable enough for outdoor use. However, its compact 18 cm size is best suited for precision tasks like transplanting seedlings rather than heavy-duty digging in large garden beds.
The sharpened edge is specifically engineered to slice through soil and small roots with minimal resistance. This makes it highly effective for teasing out root-bound plants in pots without damaging the delicate root system.
Like all high-quality wooden tools, the handle benefits from an occasional light sanding and a coat of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Keeping it clean and dry after use will ensure the ash wood remains smooth and comfortable for years.
Yes, the blade width is 4.5 cm (1.77 inches), which is specifically sized to navigate the tight corners of small starter pots and seed trays. It provides the precision needed for delicate transplanting where a standard-sized trowel would be too cumbersome.
Forged steel offers superior strength and edge retention compared to stamped metal alternatives. This ensures the trowel maintains its sharpened edge through repeated use and resists bending when working in compacted potting mix.
