 |
A garden trowel works due to its two main components: the blade and the handle.
The blade is made with a scooped edge in order for the trowel to hold soil. This allows it to be used for potting and transplanting plants. |

 |
The sharpened edges of the blade help the tool to cut through hardened soil, an essential job of a garden trowel. | |||
 |
The handle is an important part, allowing the user to lever the blade out of the soil to create a hole. It provides the user with sufficient grip to carry out a large range of tasks, from planting a bulb to transferring compost into a plant pot. | |||
