A digging garden trowel has a thin blade with a pointed end, in the shape of a dagger. The pointed end allows it to lever small stones out of the garden.
Its main role is to dig holes for plants as it is heavier than the other varieties to withstand greater leverage for digging.
It can also be used to cut items, such as a compost bag, due to its sharpened tip. A digging garden trowel is very similar to a hori hori knife – for more information see Are there any alternatives to a garden trowel?
