Spear & Jackson Kew Gardens 3040KEW Stainless Steel Rockery Trowel

Best tool ever! Every year I buy tulip bulbs when the weather is good and planting seems easy. Then when it’s time to plant them (now) it’s bleak and freezing and the ground is hard as iron. This new tool got me out there. And made a hard job easier. Less effort to make a smaller deeper incision. More energy efficient. Sharp and perfectly designed. In investment. In your garden. And in you.

Bought this product to use in heavily compacted and degraded soils. These soils are so difficult that most tools (including other shovels/trowels) I've tried are stopped within the top two inches, even with a hammer or an adult woman's full body weight. This trowel works incredibly well and nearly effortlessly as it is very strong, very sturdy, very sharp!

This is my new favourite planting tool. I love that it has a measuring gauge for bulbs. I was originally looking for a widger, but this is better for transplanting seedlings. It is very sturdy and the sharp tip makes digging out weeds in hard soil much easier. It also feels nice to use, the wooden handle is comfortable and has a good ergonomic balance with the metal. It seems very sturdy, although I haven’t been using it long.

This has become my go to tool for weeding. Its only disadvantage is unlike a Wolf weeding tool it camouflages very easily in well mulched beds because it has a lovely wooden handle.

Thus is a sturdy tool which difs into the earth and is very good for weeding unlike some tools that bend. Highly recommended.
