How to use

Hold the trowel by the handle and place the blade tip at the intended planting point. Push the blade into the soil with steady pressure, using a twisting motion if necessary to create a clean hole. Remove soil by scooping with the blade and transfer it to a bucket or another location. For transplanting, dig a hole large enough for the root ball, position the plant and backfill by pressing soil gently around the roots. Clean the blade after use to remove soil and debris and store the tool in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use the trowel for light to medium garden tasks; avoid levering large stones or prying heavy roots to prevent bending the blade. Regularly clean and dry the tool after use and sharpen the blade edge occasionally if needed to maintain efficient penetration. Wear gardening gloves for better grip and protection.
