Fiskars Fiberglass Handle Soil Scoop, 11.75"

This is great scoop for general gardening use such as making your own soil mixtures as I do. (I use homemade compost, vermiculite, peat moss and decomposed granite sand plus recycled potting soil, added Epson salt, iron and powdered sulfur to get right pH for specific plants. ) It is perfect sized for mixing up to about 3-5 gallons of soil mixture and pots of up to about 1 to 1.5 gal capacity. For larger mixtures and large containers/pots a larger scoop is definitely better. Something like an large cast aluminum scoop -- example:these come in several sizes 12 oz to 85 oz. the 58 and 85 oz ones are truly MASSIVE!!! I like the 24 oz for gardening use.This Fiskars scoop is well made and sturdy enough for all but very hard packed soil work. Best of all, being a composite material I never have to worry about it ever rusting! Yes, I do sometimes leave scoop in soil mix or forget and leave it out in work area area of garden & don't clean right away. Recommend highly for uses I have listed above.

I have a fiskars hand shovel, but what I really wanted was a larger soil scoop with more capacity, this isn't it. It was smaller than I expected. It's very well made, I do like this material for hand tools (lighter), and if you do not already have something to transfer soil for smaller job I recommend this scoop. I can transfer more soil with my hand shovel so this one hasn't seen much use at all.

I bought this to scoop Miracle-gro garden soil on garden. It can hold more soil than my trowel and it has become my new favorite tool.

I bought this because I needed to spend a little more to get free shipping but I have to admit this scoop is one of my favorite tools for the garden. Whether I need to scoop out compost or mulch for the garden or just spread it around my plants this is just the ticket. I plan on ordering more because my husband keeps borrowing it from me.

Handy tool as a scoop, used to distribute bird seed for which it seems perfect.

The Fiskars Composite Soil Scoop works great. It's well made. I'm pleased with it. I've used it in the garden, the greenhouse, and now I'm using it as a dog-food scoop, not all at the same time, of course!Notice the way it's designed, so you can scoop the material out and move it without spilling as much.This is a good, well-made, economical soil scoop. I recommend it.
