Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the longevity of your Kew Gardens trowel, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the stainless steel head with a damp cloth to remove excess dirt. For stubborn soil, use a gentle brush.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the FSC ash handle for any signs of wear or splinters; if the wood appears dry, you may apply a light coating of boiled linseed oil to keep it supple.
- Storage: Always store in a dry location. Utilize the leather wrist strap to hang the tool vertically; this keeps the head off the ground and prevents the handle from warping over time.
