Preparing Garden Beds in the Spring Season

Spring gardening involves turning over soil and creating small planting holes for seedlings and floral bulbs. A sturdy hand trowel gives gardeners precise control when working near delicate root structures. Caring for garden soil early in the year promotes healthy root growth throughout the summer season.

Interesting Facts About Hand Trowels

The narrow metal blade of a gardening trowel was modeled after historical trowels used by brickmasons. Modern garden trowels feature scoop-shaped metal heads designed specifically for scooping soil and digging small trenches. Depth markings on the metal blade help gardeners plant bulbs at exact soil depths.
