Advantages

• No maintenance necessary.
• No rust formation (no verdigris either! see verdigris or patina? ).
• They can be re-sharpened or beveled.
• They have an incomparably longer service life than iron appliances.
• Working with garden tools made of copper is more energy-saving due to the material properties.
• Not magnetically chargeable. The natural tension field in our growing medium is hardly disturbed by the intervention with copper garden tools. This improves the water balance in the soil and the behavior of the snails (see: Jane Cobbald).
• Through experiments by the natural scientist Viktor Schauberger in the 1950s, the soil improvement and the associated growth promotion could be proven.
• Abrasion introduces copper trace elementsinto the soil, which play an essential role in enzymatic processes: see “Copper and growth”
• More than 20 years of experience in production.
  Enthusiastic gardeners confirm our quality.
