Garden Hand Trowels
A garden hand trowel is an indespensible tool for every gardener.
The word trowel is derived from the Latin word “truella”, which means “small ladle”. Trowels may be used as ladles, but that is really just one use for a trowel. Indeed, a trowel may be the most used tool in the garden, so it is important to get a good one. Nothing is so aggravating as a poor quality garden hand trowel which bends when you try to dig or has a poorly designed handle which tires the hand and causes blisters.
There is an amazing variety of hand trowels available to the modern gardener. Wood handle trowels, plastic composite trowels, almuminum and stainless steel are all used to make some very good quality garden trowels. New ergonomic designs are available to make gardening easier on the hands and more accessible to those with repetitive stress injury and arthritus. These new designs include gel filled handles and curved designed which are more natural for the hand to hold while using.
Traditional garden hand trowels from long time manufacturers like Spear and Jackson can be found alongside new materials like the Nyglass line of garden hand trowels from Fiskars. Finding a good garden hand trowel from this vast selection of trowels can be a bit confusing. So take your time, and browse through the information presented here. Then choose the garden hand trowel best suited for your needs.
