Soil Scoop

I first got one of these 12 years ago and its still going strong. I did have a friend replace the handle 3 years ago, but that was the fault of one of my kids that left it outside in the mud and rain for 3 weeks. Regular trowels just dont compare, at ALL!!! The edge is perfect for cutting though roots where you want your planting hole, and the sharp tip, that I have never had to sharpen, gets through our super tough clay easily. When you have to scoop soil up, it actually holds more than a handful. I have set aside a normal shovel to use this instead at times, our soil being such heavy clay here in NC. Its the perfect gift for any gardner, and a must have!

Bought this gift for a fellow gardener because I like mine so much. Sturdy with a nice wooden handle. The serrated edge is great for cutting through pesky roots. The pointy tip gets into the small spots.

I received this as a gift and loved it so much I have since bought it to give as a gift to an avid garden. Great for planting transplants. You can dig the hole and the scoop is deep enough to keep the soil in the tool, drop the transplant in the hole and then cover with the soil.

I bought one of these soil scoops many years ago, in a small specialty garden shop. It quickly became a favorite gardening tool. Could never find these in regular home improvement store and always wanted to get a spare. Finally found these being sold on Amazon and bought one for my son, although it was the plastic handled version. Shortly after, found the wood handled version that I wanted, on sale, about half price and only a few dollars more than the plastic one. Jumped on that deal and now have my spare! I love the cupped shape of the spade, which makes scooping soil and potting mix easy, and the pointed tip really helps digging into compacted soil.

Love this tool, very handy and multi purpose. Good for digging out weeds. Can use to scoop out dirt to plant. One of my favorite tools.

Best all around hand trowel! Used daily, our go to tool for gardening

Fits nicely in my hand. Big scoop. Sharply serated edges.

This Soil Scoop is SO-O-O much better than a trowel because it doesnt just dig a small hole. It cuts small roots that may already be in the planting spot and then removes enough soil so the plant drops in easily. I lost my first one and my daughter gave me a similar but different tool, which I had to return because this is the only one for me.

This was a replacement for the same scoop which I accidently threw away. If not for that, Im sure the thing would have lasted forever. It had been a gift from a gardener friend and I was hooked on it after the first project. The curved design is great for working in pots, and the serrated edges help when there are roots and clots. A must for the home gardener. Final selling point--its made in the USA.

I honestly couldnt live without this thing! Its my third - - I use it constantly and its just the best ever.
