Planting wood with brass tip

A little jack-of-all-trades among gardening tools - with a planting tool like this one, made of solid ash wood and always to hand thanks to its optimal size, you are well equipped all year round. Whether at the start of the season, when it's time for the young vegetable plants to move outside; in early summer, when the flowers grown indoors move into the beds; or even more so in the fall, when the flower bulb planting season starts again. With the planting wood, you can quickly pick up speed when "digging" large and small planting holes. The brass tip makes it easier to prick into the ground and also protects the wood from stress caused by damp soil. A centimeter scale shows you the planting depth, and the handle knob allows you to grab it with force. We source this classic garden tool from a forge in Franconia.

With forging, the Krumpholz family knows its stuff. Based in the Franconian Forest, the ancestors acquired the first hammer mill of their own - the Guttenberg Hammer - in 1799 and produced tools and other everyday items from forged iron. Today, the company's fortunes are in the hands of the eighth generation. The garden tools that leave the production site, which is still in its old location but has long since been modernized and enlarged, are tools of the first order: shaped under the weight of the forge hammer to suit their area of use, compacted and reinforced where necessary, provided with sharpened edges or blades and fitted with high-quality handles made of ash wood. Free-form forging, as practiced at Krumpholz, requires special skill and a sense of proportion. The steel used, a Swedish steel with chrome-molybdenum content, is tough, strong and easy to clean.
