Border Spade

Question 8

Planting Trowel long

Accepted Answer

The planting trowel long is balanced with the majority of the weight situated in the blade of the tool. This might seem odd, but it is a perfect example of form following function as the planting trowel long is designed to make planting holes and is less suited for scooping/digging or transplanting plants. The heavy blade makes it easier and more comfortable to drive the blade in the soil. The blade is longer compared to the normal planting trowel, making it easier to plant bulbs and seedlings deeply into the soil. When the blade is firmly in the ground, wiggle it to the front and left and after removing the blade from the soil you are left with a perfect planting hole. The planting trowel is available with a handle from ash or cherry wood.
