Round Point Shovel with Plastic Handle

Rounded shovels usually have a beveled edge to help penetrate tough soil situations. They may also have a point to push into soil. The edges are curved to facilitate scooping. Handles are the height at which most people stand and can be ergonomically angled. Grips are often cushioned to prevent blisters.

When to use a round headed shovel in the garden depends on the task. You can really use a rounded shovel for nearly every digging or cultivating purpose in the landscape. Using round point shovels as transportation devices for such items as mulch, compost, gravel and more, allows you to utilize it as a scoop. Cultivating or turning over the vegetable bed with these shovels is easy and effective too.
