The Dixter Trowel and its use... #ByRavenmorFox #MidwintersYule #2022 #Trowel #Tools #DixterTrowel #TrowelUse #Brands A dixter garden trowel has a long thin blade with a rounded end. It gets its name from the Great Dixter estate in East Sussex, which was the home of British gardening author Christopher Lloyd, who invented this type of trowel. A dixter garden trowel can also be known as a rockery trowel due to its use in rock gardens. The long thin blade is strong enough to be hit by a hammer to go into rocky soil in order to plant flowers. It is used for digging deep holes around the long root weeds, for example a dandelion, to extract the whole plant during weeding. The length of the dixter garden trowel enables the user to sow seeds. This is achieved by placing the tip of the blade into the surface of the soil. The seeds are then placed onto the blade so that they can be sown in a straight line.

Seedling Transplant DirectionsThere are two methods for transplanting a seedling. Which one you use depends on whether you are moving it to a new pot or into the garden. The conditions the seedling will face once it has been planted outside are a lot harsher than if it is simply moved to a new, larger pot. Transplanting into a new pot Prepare the potting compost or soil for the seedling. Begin by soaking the compost or soil with warm water up to one hour before transplanting.
Transplanting into the garden Two weeks before you transplant a seedling into the garden you will need to prepare it for outdoor conditions. Therefore you will have to stop feeding the seedling and water it less frequently. Another way to prepare the seedling is a process called ‘hardening off’. This involves it being placed outside each day before transplanting to help it to acclimatise to the lower temperatures.
Some seedlings, such as beans or large flowers, can be planted while still in their original containers to avoid any damage to the roots. Containers made from biodegradeable products, such as newspaper, allow the roots to grow out through the sides. Some Well Known Brands
