Stainless Steel Hand Garden Shovel with Scale

Sowing rows at an even depth is easier with a marked blade than with a guess. This stainless steel hand shovel carries a scale along the blade, so planting depth can be read as you go. It suits raised beds, patio pots and landscaping jobs where a full-size spade is awkward.

A marked blade for planting at a set depth

✅ Rows that come up even Set the blade against the soil and read the scale before you drop each seedling.

✅ Digging and weeding with one tool Lift soil, pull weeds and transplant a seedling without swapping to another shovel.

✅ A grip that holds when wet The anti-slip handle stays put with damp hands and muddy gloves.

✅ Works between crowded plants The short handle lets the blade go where a long spade will not fit.

The scale is the reason to choose this over a plain trowel: it turns planting depth into something you can read rather than estimate, and it keeps a row consistent when you set out a line of seedlings.

Stainless steel is the blade material, and the handle is shaped for a non-slip grip. Wash and dry it after a wet session, then store it under cover rather than leaving it out in the border.

It is a hand tool, not a full-size digging spade: it works a planting hole, a weed and a pot, and it is the wrong choice for lifting a mature shrub. For heavy digging, a long-handled spade does the job faster.
