{Information}Care Instructions
Oil handles for a protective coat against heat and water. Unoiled handles may cause the handle to crack and weaken. We recommend boiled linseed oil. Frequency depends on conditions. At the very least oil handles at the beginning of the gardening season.
This trowel was designed to the specification of Christopher Lloyd (the creator of the Great Dixter gardens in the UK); it was one of his favourite tools for planting and weeding.
Due to its narrowness and length, it is the perfect tool for tight spaces, with great leverage for weeding difficult plants. The rounded tip also provides a good cutting surface.
For use in all soil types, even heavy clay.
