Complete four-piece gardening kit for planting, digging and weeding
- digging and planting by hand
- removing weeds from roots
- loosening compacted soil in flower beds
- needing separate tools for each task
Plant, dig and weed with one complete kit
Before, every flower bed job meant hunting for the right tool. After, one matched set of four handles planting, digging, weeding and loosening the soil.
Steel heads and grips that hold up in the bed
- Steel heads that dig in
The matte black heads are the working end of the set. The shovel has an 8.5 cm blade and the trowel a 6.5 cm blade, so you can turn soil for a new plant or lift loose clumps without switching tools. The flared collar where each blade meets its handle keeps the head seated on the grip.
- Forked weeder that pulls roots
The forked hand weeder is 25 cm long with a narrow fork tip. Slide the tines under a weed at the base and lift, and the root comes with it instead of snapping at the surface. It is the tool you reach for between flowers, where a wide blade would damage the plants beside the weed.
- Ribbed grip that stays put
The handles are army green ribbed plastic that sits comfortably in a bare or gloved hand. The ridges give you a non-slip hold when your palm is damp from watering, and the hanging loop at the end of each handle keeps the set off the ground between jobs.
From first dig to last weed in one session
- 1Loosen the bed with the rake
Work the three-tine cultivator through the top layer with short pulls. This breaks up the crust that forms over winter so the shovel and trowel go in easily.
- 2Dig the planting holes with the shovel
Use the 8.5 cm shovel blade to open a hole a little wider than the root ball of each plant. Lift the soil out in clumps rather than scraping the surface.
- 3Plant with the trowel
Set each plant with the 6.5 cm trowel, firm the soil around the stem, and water it in. The smaller blade keeps the bed tidy between neighboring plants.
- 4Pull weeds with the forked weeder
Slide the tines under each weed at the base, lift gently and shake off the soil around the roots. Finish by hanging each tool from its loop.
Four tools, each with one clear job
- Shovel×1
26 cm handle, 8.5 cm blade for digging and breaking up soil
- Small trowel×1
26 cm handle, 6.5 cm blade for planting and potting
- Three-tine cultivator rake×1
22 cm length, 7 cm head width for loosening the top layer
- Forked hand weeder×1
25 cm length with a narrow fork for pulling weeds with roots
Rinse, dry and hang it up
- Rinse after use
Knock off loose soil and rinse the steel heads under water while the soil is still soft.
- Dry each head
Wipe the blades and tines with a cloth before storing, especially the joint where the collar meets the handle.
- Hang in a dry spot
Use the loop at the end of each handle to hang the tools in an airy shed or by the back door.
- Wipe the grips
A damp cloth keeps the ribbed plastic clear of grit so it keeps its grip.

Questions and answers
The heads are solid steel and work well in packed flower bed soil and in loosened clay. Use the shovel for heavy breaking up and keep the small trowel for soil and planting. Prying stones with the trowel will bend the blade, so lift rocks by hand or with the shovel instead.
The grips are ribbed plastic sized for hand tools. Keep them clean and dry after each session, and do not leave them in direct sun for long stretches. Wiping off soil after each use keeps the grip from holding grit that wears the surface.
It suits both. The trowel and cultivator rake fit a standard planter box or pot, and the 22 cm rake and 26 cm trowel are easy to work in a small space. Large beds need the shovel more, but the set handles a balcony refresh without a full size tool.
No. The forked hand weeder is one of the four tools in the kit. It lifts weeds with their roots, which a trowel or shovel does not do cleanly.
Rinse off soil, dry each head with a cloth, and hang the set somewhere airy. Matte steel that stays damp in a shed is what starts rust, so the drying step matters more than any coating.
Buying a trowel, a shovel, a rake and a weeder separately usually costs more than one set, and the pieces are matched in size and finish. You also get all four tools in one place instead of hunting through the shed each weekend.
