Meet the Burgon & Ball BoronGreen RHS Claw Cultivator, a hardworking hand tool designed for gardeners who want strength, precision and sustainability in one beautifully made piece of kit. Part of the innovative BoronGreen range, this claw cultivator brings together high performance boron steel and responsibly sourced timber, creating a tool that feels as good in the hand as it does in your conscience.
Boron steel is renowned for its exceptional strength and toughness. Compared with a similar carbon steel tool, boron steel offers superior durability and resistance to wear, without adding unnecessary weight. It also holds an edge for longer, which means the tines stay sharp and effective through repeated use in beds, borders and raised planters. In the BoronGreen range, this steel is created using eighty per cent recycled material, believed to be a first for garden tools in the United Kingdom, so you are making a more sustainable choice every time you reach for it.
The head of the cultivator features three robust, pointed tines that bite easily into the soil. They are perfect for breaking up compacted ground, loosening the top layer of soil around established plants and preparing seed beds for sowing. By opening up the soil structure you improve air circulation and help water and nutrients travel more easily to plant roots. It is ideal for mixing in compost or feeds around perennials, vegetable rows or young shrubs, and for quick tidy ups in between plants where a larger tool would feel clumsy.
A tough powder coated finish in the distinctive BoronGreen colour protects the steel from rust and everyday wear. It also makes the tool easier to spot amongst foliage or on a busy potting bench. Attached to the head is a smooth, FSC certified white ash handle that feels comfortable in the hand even during longer sessions in the garden. The natural grain and pale tone of the wood are complemented by a dark wood inlay at the end of the handle, carrying the Burgon & Ball ampersand as a subtle design signature.
Thoughtful details continue right to the tip. A hanging loop made from twisted paper cord allows you to store the cultivator neatly on a hook in the shed, greenhouse or garage, so it is always easy to grab. The overall balance between head and handle makes the tool feel nimble and controllable, whether you are working in soft vegetable beds or more stubborn ground.
This claw cultivator is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, which is widely regarded as one of the highest marks of quality in the gardening world. Every RHS endorsed BoronGreen hand tool from Burgon & Ball is engineered to meet the demands of serious gardeners, and this cultivator is no exception. To back that up, it is covered by a twenty five year guarantee, giving you confidence that it will be an everyday favourite for many seasons to come.
From small gardens and patio containers to full allotments, the Burgon & Ball BoronGreen RHS Claw Cultivator is a fantastic choice for anyone who values reliable tools, sustainable materials and classic good looks in equal measure.
