I love this tool for its versatility. It is well-designed and constructed and seems durable. The blade, however, does rust if not cleaned and dried after use.

Comments about Perennial Planter:

I use this tool for setting out starter plants and separating and moving perennials. It is the perfect size between a trowel, which is too small, and a small shovel. It's very well made and seems durable enough. Not ergonomic but very useful nonetheless. A valuable addition to my gardening tool cache.

This little tool comes in handy in my garden. I use it to trench around
my hostas before they crown so I can add mushroom compound and other
nutrients. Great for transplanting my little bulbs as well.

Comments about Perennial Planter:

If I am outside, I always have the perennial spade (planter) and a tubtrug in hand. I have used this tool for the last 25 years or more. Excellent for weeding, digging, chopping (back foliage/grasses like a machete). I am truthfully never without it. Own a total of 4. Have gifted them and ordered them for neighbors. AWESOME!
