It is called a Hand Garden Planter, but I've seldom used it for planting. Moslty I use it for un-planting and destruction. It is super light weight which is important. I don't have strong wrists and have some carpal tunnel. It has a pick on one end and a shovely thingy on the other.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I helped with the building of a ground level labyrinth. The paths were made from brick that was sunk in on edge. Hundreds of bricks. Hubby can swing a pulaski like a feather, but I can't even get one off the ground to load into the truck. So this little tool allowed me to scrape into hard ground, scoop out the earth and make little troughs for the bricks to go in. Simple as pie.
I also like to use either end for hacking weeds. It's just handy. Just plane handy. And easy, light weight and doesn't take up much storage space. It doesn't even appear to be bent from all the times I've found rocks buried in the soil I couldn't see. What's your favorite garden tool?
