Description
Its small size means the Mira Copper Trowel is handy for container gardening and bulb planting, and any weeding or planting in the flower border or veg bed. It is also good for extracting deep-rooted weeds such as dandelions, as the long narrow blade cuts deeply into the soil without disturbing the surrounding plants. Its unique bronze head, which will develop a beautiful bronze patina overtime, makes the tool hard wearing than stainless steel alternatives, and the sharp edges ensure a smoother, cleaner slice through stubborn garden soil. The wooden handle balances the tool, keeping it perfectly weighted, making it a joy to use.

Ingredients
Hand crafted by Austrian coppersmiths, the tool heads are made of solid bronze (copper with a little bit of tin to add hardness, strength and sharpness) and the handles turned from responsibly sourced European hardwood beech.
