Editor's Notes
August 09, 2019:
The definition of the best gardening trowel can vary based on the individual needs of each user. But inevitably most gardeners end up using it to dig out an over-grown stubborn weed, so models that are nearly impossible to bend will rate the highest.
Even if you have pretty decent soil, there's always a point in summer when the ground will be bone dry, so the Wilcox All Pro is a choice everyone will want to have. It's extra sharp end can break up the driest patch the single piece of steel extends into the handle, making it practically un-bendable.
We included the Fiskars Big Grip even though it won't cut well into difficult soil for those who do a lot of potting and just need to scoop a lot of dirt. And likewise, the Corona CT Transplanter won't stand up to dried out or rocky conditions, but it offers other perks, like the serrated edge and depth markings.
