Description

An astute customer of ours pointed out that the original root Slayer shovel can be overkill for many gardening tasks & even too heavy for some older gardeners. She said we should design a lightweight version specifically for working with perennials. So we started with a blade that is about 70% of the size of the root Slayer shovel, added a lightweight super durable fiberglass shaft, & topped it off with our patented O-handle grip. The root Slayer Perennial shovel is truly a miracle worker in the garden. We recently dug out, divided & transplanted a sizable bed of daylilies in about half the normal time with this incredible tool. The sharpened inverted V cutting tip prevents perennial roots from slipping from underneath the shovel blade while dividing. &, it's every bit as useful for raised beds, flower gardens, & general digging.

  • Useful and unique tool.
Pattern Name: Perennial Shovel Style: Perennial Shovel
This is the tool I've been looking for to take on the non-native Mustard plants so ubiquitous in southern California. They can grow to a height of 6 feet. The stalks of this weed are like rope and thus difficult to remove with a weed-eater. Its roots are deep so hand-pulling is virtually impossible. I made a hoe with a long handle and a 2-inch wide blade to cut the root at a 45 degree angle an inch or so below the surface. Then, pushing down on the handle, the trunk would snap, making a popping sound. The problem is that it can be difficult to swing the hoe when the nearby growth is dense. Another method I've tried is using a small spade. Using ones foot to push in the blade cuts the root and the spade allows approaching the weed from the front in dense growth. The problem here is that the tip of the spade can be deflected by the weed trunk (since it is pointed). At last I found the Root Slayer. The key attraction is the V-shaped, narrow tip. Set the V near trunk of the weed at about a 45 degree angle, then push by foot on the blade. For smaller weeds use both hands on the handle to stab the blade into the trunk just below the surface (this is where the circular handle works great.) The V-shaped convex blade tip easily captures the weed trunk every time - no deflections! Push down to pop the bigger trunks. Pulling the narrow blade back out in the opposite direction reduces disturbance of the soil. The Root Slayer is very sturdy. I gave 4 Stars on being light weight, but the weight gives more power when thrusting by hand. It gets 5 Stars for "correct weight." At first the circular handle seems odd, but you'll soon find its shape helpful and important. Although the circular handle is plastic, it is very thick and sturdy. 5 Stars for the Root Slayer! ... show more

Where has this been all my life?! This is an amazing time and energy saver. I’m 69 years old and I can dig out perennials with one arm with this amazing spade. It makes cutting through tough roots a breeze. It cut my gardening time in half and no more asking for help with digging. Every gardener should have one! ... show more

  • Root slayer really works
Pattern Name: Perennial Shovel Style: Perennial Shovel
This shovel works at cutting through the many roots that several vines send in the garden. In my mid-70’s, I was a little skeptical that it would be easy for me—but it was.

  • Excellent garden tool

This is the best tool for digging out weeds or digging holes; the handle makes it easy to hold, and the shape is good for getting in tight spots.

  • Best shovel ever

I've already sent several other folks off to buy this shovel after trying mine. It's so great for dividing perennials with strong roots. And a very efficient tool for creating new holes when planting. I haven't used my other digging tools since this arrived.
