Digging and Planting

Our Digging and planting collection covers all the hand tools you need for working in beds, borders, pots and raised beds. These are the tools you reach for when you are preparing soil, planting new seedlings, adding bulbs or simply refreshing tired containers.

Use this collection if you are asking things like
What hand tools do I need to start gardening
What is the best trowel or fork for pots and beds
How do I plant bulbs and seedlings at the right depth

In this collection you can find

• 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.
