We've fallen in love with these beautiful and unusual hand-crafted bronze tools! They are inspired by the work of Austrian inventor and visionary, Viktor Schauberger, who demonstrated in trials, that copper is more beneficial to the soil and to the health of the plants than conventional iron or steel. Copper is conductive, (not magnetic, like iron), and so doesn't disturb the soil's magnetism, but assists the flow of earth energies to nourish the plants, at the same time, the reduced friction makes a lighter job of working the soil. Interestingly, copper is known to deter slugs and snails - so using these tools does appear to reduce the damage they do. The tools are also hard-wearing, will last for years, won't rust, are lighter than iron or steel equivalents, and are designed to keep their sharp edges! Beech handles and a leather hanging thong, who wouldn't wish to own and use such gorgeous and unique tools?
