Key Features of Kew Gardens Hand Forks & Trowels

• Task-specific head shapes: narrow Transplanting Trowels lift seedlings with minimal root disturbance, while broader Garden Hand Trowels shift more soil per scoop.
• Tined Hand Forks: the tines break up compacted ground and mix in compost or feed without the heavy turning of a spade.
• Weed Forks: a slim, forked head works down alongside the taproot, so dandelions and docks come out with less soil disturbance.
• Soil Scoops: the deep, open shape suits filling pots, grow bags and seed trays with compost, and for topping up with grit or sand.
• Hand Trowel Sets: combining tools in a set means the right tool is always to hand for a mixed gardening session.
• Hand-held handles: designed for comfortable control during repeated digging, planting and weeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a hand fork and a hand trowel?

A trowel has a solid blade for digging holes and moving soil. A hand fork has tines for breaking up compacted ground, aerating and lifting roots or weeds.

Which tool is best for transplanting seedlings?

A Transplanting Trowel is best, as its narrow head lets you lift a seedling with its root ball intact and place it in a neat hole.

Are Weed Forks better than standard hand forks for weeding?

For deep-rooted weeds, yes. The slim head follows the root down and lifts it with less disturbance to nearby plants. A standard hand fork suits general soil loosening.

Is a Hand Trowel Set worth buying?

If you do a mix of planting, weeding and soil preparation, a set provides several tools together, so you are not making do with just one. Kew Gardens sets are available from Tooled-Up.com.
