Know before you buy
The brass tip provides a durable, reinforced point that helps the tool penetrate firm soil more easily. It also protects the wooden tip from premature wear and moisture damage when pushing into the ground.
The markings are etched directly into the ash handle, allowing you to see exactly how deep you are pushing the tool into the soil. This ensures consistent planting depth for bulbs and seeds, which is essential for uniform growth.
Yes, the ash handle is lightweight and designed to be ergonomic. Because it is made from natural hardwood, it offers a solid, tactile grip that is less fatiguing than heavy metal alternatives.
While the tool is built to be durable, you can keep the wood in top condition by wiping it clean after use and occasionally applying a light coat of linseed oil. Storing it by the leather thong in a dry place will also help prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
Absolutely. The 12-inch length and sturdy construction make it well-suited for creating holes for seed potatoes as well as smaller bulbs and seeds.
