The Faithfull Countryman Hand Potting Trowel is very similar to a traditional garden trowel in appearance, however, the narrow rounder blade makes it more suitable for transplanting seedlings, bulbs and small plants without any unnecessary damage to their roots. The shape and small blade also make it useful for stirring, scooping and for lifting out weeds with tap roots, including dandelion, dock and thistle. Made from heat-treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. Powder-coated finish provides improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaloids in the soil. Fitted with a European ash handle, supplied from FSC® sustainable resources. These are then lacquered for protection against the weather. The small size allows it to work in tight spaces where a long handle tool cannot be used. The Countryman Range has been designed for the gardener who requires a tool they can rely on to provide years of dependable service.
