How to Use

Planting

Use the trowel to dig small planting holes in prepared soil or compost. Its compact blade is particularly convenient for planting bedding plants, herbs and other smaller plants in beds, borders and containers.

Place the plant at the appropriate depth, return the excavated soil or compost around the roots and gently firm it into place.

Pots & Containers

The hand trowel is ideal for filling pots and tubs with compost, making planting holes and carrying out general container maintenance.

Its relatively narrow working head gives useful control where space is limited.

Weeding & Cultivating

Use the blade to loosen surface soil around small weeds before lifting them out. It can also be used for light cultivation around established plants, taking care not to damage shallow roots.
