The narrow blade holds a sharp edge, which makes it very easy to use. It is a handy tool for planting bulbs, keeping tap rooted weeds at bay or planting seedlings where space is at a premium. Strongly constructed using tempered steel, it wont bend with normal use. Narrower blade than the standard trowel This tool has a sharpened edge along length of blade A good trowel for smaller planting tasks and in pots and planters etc Useful for removing tap rooted weeds it is ideal for working in tight spots Size Head: 17.5cm long x 5.5cm wide ( 7 x 2.25) Total Length: 30cm long (13.5) The Dutch are rightly regarded as makers of the finest gardening tools. De Wit have been around longer than anyone. They started in 1898 and the 4th generation of De Wits are now in charge of the business; one is a trained wood turner, the other trained as a blacksmith. De Wit forge their tools from carbon steel in the traditional way. Carbon Steel is naturally tougher than stainless steel and is not prone to metal fatigue. De Wit also burnish their steel. This not only helps to protect it for longer but gives it a patina that blackens it – just like traditional English tools from the Edwardian era. All De Wit tools have turned hardwood handles of oiled Ash. Ash is not only very strong but resists shock better than woods like oak or beech, which is why it was traditionally used for Axe handles. The result is a beautiful tool to hold in the hand but rugged and durable. They feel so natural to use that they are like an extension of the person that uses them. These tools will give you a lifetime of use, until you hand them on.

Galvanised kitchen garden trug

Galvanised kitchen garden trug was £19.99 now £17.99
We loved the galvanised metal trug that was such a classic piece of 50’s design. Such a great shape, not heavy and very hard wearing. But we couldn’t find any old ones, so we designed these instead. The main difference with our version is that the surface is lacquered for extra protection. Measurements: Height: 11cm (excluding handle) Length: 45cm Width 32cm

Propagating tray and trough set

Propagating tray and trough set was £29.99 now £26.99
A very practical and, possibly, clever idea this. You get one tray and two troughs. So you can either use them together or on their own. If you are growing seeds on your windowsill there are holders for labels at the front of each seed tray (a bit anal, but neater than a piece of torn seed packet sticking out of the compost). Galvanised with an antique finish Dimensions: troughs height 15cm x length 43cm x width 13cm tray height 7.5cm x length 45.5cm x width 29cm
