## Description

Product Description The Spear & Jackson Kew Gardens Stainless Steel Rockery Trowel has a narrow blade marked with graduations in inches making it particularly suited to use in confined spaces such as a rockery. The blade is made from mirror polished stainless steel which offers protection against rust and minimal soil adhesion, allowing the blade to slip easily into the soil and making for easier cleaning. This trowel features a longer tang than usual (cranked or swan necked piece of metal which joins the blade to the handle) to reduce the chance of scraping your knuckles on the ground or hitting them on the trowel blade. The 127mm (5") handle is FSC approved ash and has been weatherproofed to extend the life of the trowel. This item carries a 10 year guarantee. The Kew range of tools has been developed in conjunction with Kew's horticultural team, resulting in an officially licensed range of tools which are both used and recommended by Kew.

Review: Perfect - Best tool ever! Every year I buy tulip bulbs when the weather is good and planting seems easy. Then when it’s time to plant them (now) it’s bleak and freezing and the ground is hard as iron. This new tool got me out there. And made a hard job easier. Less effort to make a smaller deeper incision. More energy efficient. Sharp and perfectly designed. In investment. In your garden. And in you.
Review: Lovely garden tool - This is my new favourite planting tool. I love that it has a measuring gauge for bulbs. I was originally looking for a widger, but this is better for transplanting seedlings. It is very sturdy and the sharp tip makes digging out weeds in hard soil much easier. It also feels nice to use, the wooden handle is comfortable and has a good ergonomic balance with the metal. It seems very sturdy, although I haven’t been using it long.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the width of the trowel at the handle end please. I am looking for something about 4-5cms? thank you**
A: The width at the top of the blade is 35 mm (1 3/8"), the length 145mm (5 3/4").  The blade is almost parallel throughout its length and only narrows to 28 mm before the point, about 25 mm from the end.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful weeder
*by A***K on 28 May 2025*

This has become my go to tool for weeding. Its only disadvantage is unlike a Wolf weeding tool it camouflages very easily in well mulched beds because it has a lovely wooden handle.
