There are plenty of scoops on the market, mostly plastic or aluminum and made for handling measures of grain, seed or soil amendments. Our scoop differs from the common one in that it is made with a wood handle and back piece attached by brass nails to a galvanized steel trough. It’s a simply constructed, yet very useful.

Since the trough is flat-bottomed, not round, it will pick up material off your potting bench or other flat surfaces; much in the manner of a dustpan. Round bottom scoops clear a 1/2 inch path at best, while this one clears one 4 inches wide. The trough is made of 12 gauge steel. The handle and the backplate are made of hardwoods.
