WHAT PEOPLE SAY…

1000 times better than any other trowel on the market. Fantastic. (Mira)

Bob Flowerdew, Gardener’s Question Time, BBC Radio 4

The Ferrari Dinos of trowels – beautifully weighted, sharp and fit for purpose. (Mira)

Observer magazine, 22nd June 2008

The Castor trowel is my favourite tool – ever.

Stephanie Donaldson, Gardens Editor, Country Living magazine

Much tougher than it looks…the one tool I would rescue from my shed if it caught fire. (Castor)

Sue Boston

Trialled in tunnels – noticed a large reduction in slugs and snails, now in 4th year.

Handley Organics, Bromyard, Herefordshire

It just so happened that later that morning I took delivery of my shiny new copper trowel, looking more golden than bronze, and I promptly put it to the test by planting roughly the same amount of marigolds as I had the previous day, and in the same place. The next morning I returned to the scene of the crime, and to my amazement there was hardly any damage to the flowers, even though it had also been rainy the night before. Since that day I have hardly picked up an ordinary iron-based trowel, and have added several more copper tools to my arsenal.

Ark Redwood, head gardener at Chalice Well Gardens, Somerset, after suffering a slug invasion the previous night

Although the copper alloy is a little less hard than iron, and might suffer in soils with flint or larger amounts of stone, the tools are designed to endure. I have found copper trowels last better than ones made of hard stainless steel, which often snap after a year or two, at a weak point near the handle.

Charles Dowding, permaculture expert and teacher

The hydra hoe is the best hoe I have ever used, which is saying something after 40 years of gardening. What makes it special is its double-edged and hinged blade, which means it cuts on both the push and the pull, making light work of weeds.
