Spear & Jackson Trowel
Best versatile tool for gardeners tackling varied soil conditions.
This is the Swiss Army knife of trowels, trading a bit of weight for a serrated edge that slices through roots and mulch bags with ease. It’s a rugged, all-in-one workhorse that replaces half your shed, though the wooden handle requires a little more care than modern plastic alternatives.
