It is seed-starting time for some of us, which presented me with a dilemma. I had my seeds and my beautiful seed- starting compressed bale medium, but no scoop!

We used to use large scoops in a bakery...so I got my large scoop at a restaurant supply store. They quit carrying them, so I got my last one on eBay. Still have my old one...at least 25 years old now. It holds as much as a large shovel...one of my favorite garden tools.

Yep, I have hefty metal food service scoops in three sizes that I use in my plant nursery. I've never found anything better.

They take water, weather, and abuse, and will last forever.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
