My Favorite Shovel - The Root Slayer

I love digging in the dirt with a few exceptions. I hate digging out old, established shrubs and some of the tougher invasive species like spotted knapweed or baby’s breath just because they are so difficult to remove.

This year I pulled out some overgrown shrubs that needed to go and it was work I couldn’t do by myself so I got help from a young friend who’s done a lot of landscaping.

When Ryan arrived I introduced him to my newest tool (I love equipment) the Root Slayer. Ryan did a lot of landscaping in high school and he was as impressed as Scott and I have been with the Root Slayer shovel. It really allowed him to make short work of the digging out the old roots and then digging up a Japanese Maple for transplant.

If you’ve got a major digging job I highly recommend the Root Slayer. We’ve used it both in the garden and in the woods when we planted Michigan Holly this spring. It does an amazing job when you’re hand digging and I highly recommend it as a gift to yourself or to a gardening pal.
