GARDEN TOOLS FOR LIGHT WORK

Although the tools described above are used with

your hands, and are therefore hand tools, the

term generally describes the sort of small tool you

would use for ﬁ ne-tuning the planting. You will

need several trowels like the Corona ComfortGEL

CT 3214, as they come in handy for all sorts of planting

projects. The best of these short-handled planting

tools are made from stainless or tempered steel. The

sides of the blade should be curved upward to allow

for scooping soil and holding loose material.

The ends of the handles on some trowels like the

ComfortGEL

, are cushioned and this can be a real

advantage when you have have quantities of annuals

or bulbs to plant. This saves injury to the base of your

digging hand and shoulder as you repeatedly drive

the tool into the ground, loose though the soil may

be. The blades of some trowels are marked with a

ruler that is useful to gauge the depth of your hole to

enable planting at accurate depths – this is especially

useful when planting bulbs. ComfortGEL
