Well , looking at your link I'd say the transplanter is the one with the measurements marked on it ...

Here's another example - the text tells you which is which ; I wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same factory in China. .. spend $ 40 and get free shipping until Feb. 21

This was sort of my point. They've created a whole new tool, because everyone who wants one has a trowel. So now they're trying to convince people they need a narrower one.

Hey, that's good. I guess you really do need two different tools, because they say so too.

... not just two !

Oh, I feel so incompetent and unprepared. But they just call it a narrow trowel, not a transplanter!

I must admit that when I was being careful with sod, it was hard to cut, though I managed with a big knife. Maybe I should have used a big serrated kitchen knife. Later I just put the sod down on whatever was already there, and it did just as well, although I'm not saying that would work everywhere. .

Those look weird. I'd be afraid to leave them in the garden shed while I was sleeping. One might take over my body.

Welcome to the wonderful world of advertising! ;)

Easy there trader, you are thinking of transporter. Unless you see Spock in your garden I'd sleep easy.

Spring must be just around the corner with all the garden stuff... Yeah.
