Know before you buy
The pointed tip allows for easier penetration into compacted soil and provides greater precision when digging narrow holes for bulbs or transplanting seedlings. It minimizes soil disturbance around neighboring plants compared to wider, rounded blades.
This model is specifically designed for delicate tasks like container gardening and bulb planting. While it is durable, it is not intended for prying out large rocks or breaking through extremely hard, uncultivated ground.
Cherry wood is known for its smooth finish and comfortable grip, which helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive planting tasks. Over time, the wood will develop a natural patina and conform to your grip.
The trowel has an overall length of 13 inches and weighs approximately 11.2 ounces. Its weight distribution is balanced to provide enough leverage for digging while remaining light enough for precise, one-handed maneuvering.
The smooth edge is designed to slice cleanly through soil and roots. While it will maintain its sharpness through regular use, you can occasionally hone the blade with a file if you notice it dulling after heavy seasons.
