Know before you buy
The narrow, V-shaped tip is designed to slice deep into the soil alongside a taproot. This allows you to leverage the blade against the root, pulling it out in one piece without disturbing the surrounding plants.
While it is specialized for taproot removal, the narrow blade is excellent for transplanting small seedlings or working in tight spaces where a standard wide trowel would be too cumbersome.
Ash is a traditional choice for garden tools because it is durable and shock-absorbent. To keep the handle in top condition, we recommend wiping it clean after use and occasionally treating it with linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out.
The stainless steel construction is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. However, for the longevity of the tool, it is best practice to clean and dry the blade after each use rather than leaving it in the ground.
At just over half a pound, this trowel is lightweight and easy to maneuver. While the stainless steel is durable, it is designed for precision weeding and planting rather than heavy-duty prying in extremely rocky or compacted ground.
