Sneeboer Garden Planting Trowel

The Old Dutch style features a unique, axe-like head shape that allows you to use the tool's weight to punch precise holes into the soil. Its pointed, sharpened edges are specifically designed for slicing through earth rather than just scooping it.

While the hand-forged stainless steel is incredibly durable and rust-resistant, this tool is optimized for planting and transplanting. It handles compacted soil well, but it is best used for planting bulbs and seedlings rather than heavy excavation in extremely rocky ground.

The FSC-certified ash handle is naturally durable, but you can keep it in top condition by wiping it clean after use and occasionally applying a light coat of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out.

Yes, the sharp, pointed blade is excellent for separating smaller perennials. Its sturdy construction allows you to leverage the tool to cut through root balls with precision.

At 0.88 lbs, this trowel is balanced to provide enough heft for easy soil penetration without causing fatigue during extended planting sessions. The weight is intentionally distributed to assist with the 'axe-like' digging motion.
