The main reason potatoes go bad in storage is that they've been bruised by a shovel or pierced by a fork during harvesting. This English tool, quality made of hardwood and Sheffield stainless steel, gently lifts and sifts potatoes from the soil.
- Sift potatoes from soil without damaging your harvest
- Hardwood handle has a leather hanging loop for handy storage

Comments about Potato Harvesting Scoop:
It is sturdy. I don't have sandy loamy soil. My soil is basic top soil. The directions tell you to loosen the soil before you use the Scoop. Well, by the time I loosen the soil I don't need the scoop. I was hoping it was a tool I could use to dig under the potato plant and get the potatoes. Nope. Not unless you loosen the soil and how do you do that? You need another tool. It also still dug into potatoes even though it's not supposed to do that. Sure if you could see all the potatoes it probably wouldn't bruise the potato. Now if you already have loose soil/sandy loamy soil this probably would work for you
