A trowel is an essential tool for all gardeners or allotment owners and is primarily used for planting and weeding in borders, pots and tubs. The Spear and Jackson traditional trowel features a weatherproofed vintage style hardwood handle, for an enhanced, yet durable finish for use in all weathers. The dished blade is made from stainless steel polished to a mirror finish for resistance to rust as well as easy ground penetration and minimal soil adhesion.
