-
Gardening trowels
For planting and potting in borders, raised beds and containers. Ideal for moving compost, planting young plants and general day to day digging. -
Gardening forks
For loosening soil, lifting plants, working in compost and breaking up compacted areas without damaging roots. -
Hand rakes and cultivators
For lightly breaking the surface of the soil, mixing in feed and tidying gravel, bark and smaller areas where a full rake feels too large. -
Hand hoes and weeders
For slicing and lifting weeds around plants, in tight spots and between rows, with less bending and less disturbance to the soil. -
Bulb planters
For quick, consistent planting holes at the right depth, perfect for spring and autumn bulbs in borders, lawns and pots. -
Transplanters and dibbers
For creating neat planting holes for seedlings and small plants, and for moving young plants with minimal stress to their roots.
These tools work in every type of space, from small patios and balconies with a few planters to full allotment plots with multiple beds. A good trowel, fork, weeder and dibber set you up for most digging and planting jobs through the year.
At Allotmate Essentials we choose digging and planting tools that feel balanced in the hand, are strong enough for real soil and make everyday jobs more comfortable. Put together a simple set from this collection and you will have everything you need for sowing, planting, potting on and tidying your growing space.
