A garden soil scoop is a specialized trowel which will certainly find many uses in and around the garden. The scoop is great for those who mix their own potting soils, as it will allow you to scoop vermiculate, peat moss and other soil components. The scoop will also work great for those who pot up plants. Using the scoop you can pick up potting soil from the bag or bin and place it just where you want it in the pot, filling in around roots under and around stems and leaves.
A soil scoop will work better than a trowel to fill in soil around newly transplanted shrubs and flowers in the garden, and can also be used to scoop fertilizer and other bulk garden products into spreaders for use. Specialized bonsai soil scoops are uses to fill soil in and around the small pots used in bonsai, their unique shape fitting in under the leaves and branches of these miniature trees better than a trowel.
The right soil scoop will fill a void left by the garden hand trowel. Trowels are great for digging and weeding, but their shape is usually not suitalble for scooping soil for potting and bonsai needs.
