In stock
A powerful, multi-purpose tool designed to handle a wide range of planting tasks with ease. The Sneeboer planting trowel features sharp sides and a pointed tip, allowing it to cut cleanly through soil for planting bulbs, seedlings, and small plants. Its larger head also makes it well-suited for breaking up and turning soil, or even dividing smaller perennials.
Hand-forged from stainless steel, the blade is built to stay sharp and perform reliably for years to come. Paired with an ash hardwood handle sourced from FSC-certified forests, it offers strength, balance, and durability in everyday use.
What sets this trowel apart is how it’s used. Rather than a traditional scooping motion, it works more like an axe—using its weight and balance to penetrate the soil. Once inserted, a simple forward and backward motion creates a clean, well-formed planting hole with minimal effort.
It’s a method proven at scale: millions of bulbs at the renowned Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands are planted using this very tool.
