Spear & Jackson County Transplant Trowel

When my father died I inherited some of his gardening tools. One of the items was a Spear and Jackson transplant trowel.. This one in good condition and a good make. This Spear and Jackson towel has a 25 year guarantee. Mind you I don't know when this one was bought and we found no evidence of purchase.

I did check on line for this review to find the price and at https://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=94 42&pf_id=9738 it costs £6.00

The Spear & Jackson County Transplant Trowel is slimmer than an ordinary trowel it has a slim 5 inch long /126mm narrow blade. It has a carbon steel head. This is good as it resists scratches and rust A brass ferrule (circular metal fastening) for strength. A 5 inch /126mm long weatherproofed hardwood handle for durability.

I was in my garden transplanting some runner beans at the weekend this was the tool I used. It was easy to dig a little hole into my soil and then use the transplanting trowel to lift the runner bean seeds from their pot and position them to growing position. I also used it to thin out my lettuce. The narrow blade worked the soil around the root balls easily giving little damage.
If you expect your lawn to be a perfect grass with no weeds I think this slim bladed trowel would be ideal for uplifting those stubborn weeds .

I have used this Spear and Jackson transplanting trowel when I have needed to dig just a little soil. I used it when getting my seeds trays ready and I also use it when weeding around my veg. It's handy as it has only the thin blade that does not cause much soil disturbance.

I anticipate I shall continue to use this for many years and as I do so I will recall my dad saying mind those roots Mary
