Midi Trowel

This heavy-duty version of your garden favourite is made for real soil work, whether it be hacking, digging or scooping. The extended handle lets you drive it in like a hunter-gatherer’s digging stick with a satisfying stab-and-twist motion, the angled and scooped head effectively lifts material out from the narrowest of holes. and the sharp serrated edge cuts through unwanted roots on your way down. It’s essentially a primal tool with modern efficiency.

Description

The Retool Midi Tools

Our midi tool range was born out of a need to provide a package of locally made, durable yet light tools that fill a variety of functions in a food growing setting, but that also serve a purpose for regular gardeners.

The 60cm handles ensure the tools are compact, light and portable, but also give that extra reach and leverage often not afforded by small hand trowels and weeding tools.

We also intend the longer handles on the midi range to help make gardening more accessible to differently abled people, particularly for wheelchair users on raised beds.

Applications and How to Use

The midi trowel is used as a standard trowel would be, but the fun part comes when holding it with two hands and using a stabbing motion (as one would use a stick) to dig, turn, and cut through compact soil. The serrated edge gives you extra bite when dealing with small roots or dense material. It’s also great for precision planting and scooping compost into tight spots.

Ergonomics

The 60cm handle gives you reach and control while keeping your back straight. Perfect for working raised beds or reaching across garden rows without stooping. A tool that’s just as suited for urban balconies as it is for wide farm beds.

Care and Maintenance

Always remove excess soil residue after use and store in a dry place. The handle can be oiled every six months or so with Pronature sealant, linseed oil, beeswax, or any other natural wood sealant.
