Advantages of copper Gardening Tools:
– Easy to use, rust-free, and long-lasting sharp edges
– Soil adheres less and doesn’t stick to the tool, making it particularly effective on clay soil compared to iron gardening tools
– Requires less effort due to bronze’s lower friction resistance compared to iron
– Releases fine copper particles as trace elements into the soil, promoting healthy plant growth
– Non-magnetic, thus minimally disrupting the soil’s natural balance

Maintenance of Bronze Gardening Tools:
Bronze tools require minimal maintenance. If the shovel becomes dull, sharpen it with a fine file or by using a honing anvil. If desired, hone further with a sharpening stone or diamond sharpener. Never use a grinding machine to sharpen bronze tools, as it can overheat and soften the metal. If this occurs, you can restore the tool’s strength by cold hammering.

For the wooden handles, maintain them using boiled linseed oil, which provides excellent protection and makes the handles resistant to moisture and drying out. Apply the oil 1-2 times a year, and over time, your handles will develop a beautifully polished, natural appearance.

Invest in Quality
While copper tools might come with a premium price tag, remember that true quality often does. When you invest in a copper hand tool you’re not just buying a tool; you’re investing in a legacy. This trowel will not only serve you but can be passed down through generations, still retaining its functionality and style.
