How to use

Hold the Greenmill hand shovel with a secure grip on the handle and position the blade at the edge of the soil where you need to dig or loosen. Use short, controlled motions to penetrate compacted soil and to lift roots or seedlings for transplanting. For planting, create a hole of the required depth, place the plant or bulb, and backfill the soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets. After use, remove soil residue from the blade and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For longer tool life, clean the blade after each use, dry it thoroughly and store in a sheltered area. Avoid using the hand shovel for heavy prying or levering tasks that exceed its intended small-scale gardening purpose. Use protective gloves when working with thorny or abrasive materials to protect the handle and your hands.
