Most garden trowels are worthless. They can dig a hole into a bag of potting soil, but that is about it.
Have you ever tried to dig into the actual earth with a trowel? I have. And it is about as discouraging as trying to water your garden with a hose full of kinks.
I have a trowel that works. It is the Wilcox All-Pro No. 100. This 10" fine-pointed trowel can cut through roots and soil. And the sharp edges can slice through a nursery pot if you have a root-bound plant. It is great for breaking up a root ball, opening a bag of potting soil or quickly cutting twine.
This tool is so sharp that when you purchase one ,the beveled sides of the stainless-steel trowel are covered with a piece of plastic so you won't hurt yourself. Love, love, love.
Hyam's Garden Center on James Island has this trowel for sale for only $12.95 each.
I like their whole line of tools. The thinner one is great for bulb planting and for planting small seedlings in the vegetable garden.
ReplyDeleteI am spoiled by this trowel...I've get anxious when I can't find it and think that I've lost it somewhere! I remember using it for the first time and thinking, "Finally!". I went back to Hyam's the next day and bought two more for back-up.
