Radius Garden Root Slayer Perennial Shovel: Perfect for Digging & Cutting Through Perennial Roots - Red (23311)

amethyst52: My brother in law and I have spent the last year and a half clearing blackberries out of my yard. Now we are digging out the roots. He has a larger model of this shovel that is unwieldy for me. This just right!

Larry: Very good for cutting roots as deep as the blade of the shovel. If the roots go deeper, you're on your own. I could not use it to saw large roots, but it works well for most situations in which you can step on the shovel blade. Also works well for digging up iris to separate rhizomes.

K. Jensen: This shovel has become my go-to garden tool. The height is perfect for those of us on the shorter side providing leverage and oomph. The squared off edge with a bite makes working in clay or tough soil much easier to dig out weeds and grass from garden beds. It probably will be just as effective to plant bulbs. I just wish I had found it earlier.

ME Lady: I live in a wooded area, so planting has always been difficult because of all the root networks in the soil. This shovel goes through most of them with so much less effort than a typical spade or shovel. I actually enjoyed planting bulbs this year. I was also able to dig out some small saplings from the planting area with the help of the serrated blade. A must have for anyone who wants to sweat less while planting perennials. Worth the price.

Paulina: I am a female freelance gardener and I do a lot of shoveling and digging holes, installing plants for people (and in my own garden). I absolutely love the Radius Root Slayer shovels. I own both this mini shovel which I use for small plantings like annuals, and the larger shovel for bigger plants. I will never use any other brand of shovel again but the Radius because I consider these shovels to be extremely female friendly and of very high quality. In the past I found digging holes on jobs using a regular shovel to be difficult, requiring more strength, time, exertion and resulting in an aching back. That all changed with the Root Slayers because these shovels are unique in that they have teeth so to speak, which will literally cut through whatever tree roots, compacted soil etc may be in your way within the ground that make it harder to dig a hole. I now dig holes for plants quickly and like a pro thanks to Radius. This jagged edge 'teeth' design is what makes these shovels so effective. I can also say based on the fact that I use my Radius shovels over and over for work (and am frequently too busy to clean them properly after use) that these things are rugged, sturdy and hold up...

Fabrizio: Provata in terreni dove anche il piccone faceva fatica e son rimasto davvero stupito dalle performance di questa pala... La punta mancante mi lasciava molto detubante ma invece è stata un scoperta unica consiglio vivamente

SIMON PINK: Excellent tool, well worth the money. It made short work of some tough bamboo in my garden. Have only used the once so far, but seems pretty robust.

Etienne Houben: De schep is perfect, echter de verpakking heel eenvoudig te openen.
het bezorgde pakket was geopend en de schep zat er los in.
Gelukkig dat ze niet was gestolen anders een heel gedoe om dit te regelen met pakket bezorger en leverancier
