Our online store is taking a small break - as we visit our Japanese suppliers. The Fitzroy store is open during the break. Orders received 30th May–6th June will be dispatched from 10th June. Note the 9th June is a public holiday. Gift vouchers will be fulfilled during the break.
Use this tool for planting bulbs, seedlings and small plants, or use the large head for breaking and turning the soil. It can even be used to separate smaller perennials.
The way to use this trowel is totally different to the normal trowels. Instead of the usual scooping action, penetrate the soil moving the trowel forwards and backwards until you have a perfect planting hole.
Every year the millions of bulbs at the famous Dutch Keukenhof Exhibition are planted with this tool!
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.
