Shovels & SpadesOUR TAKE
Root Slayer 22011 serrated garden shovel
A pointed garden shovel with serrated edges and a V-shaped cutting tip.
Old beds often have a web of small roots under the surface. This shovel puts a cutting tip and serrated edges on the same tool you use to lift the soil. Keep the first cuts shallow around plants you want to save.
- Good for
- Digging and dividing in established garden beds.
- Look elsewhere if
- A narrow trenching shovel fits irrigation trenches better.
- The tradeoff
- The broad blade takes a wider bite than a dedicated trenching tool.
