Burgon & Ball Sophie Conran - Compost Scoop (Gift Boxed) – Precision Potting Tool

The Sophie Conran Compost Scoop is a specialized tool designed to solve the common mess of "potting up." Inspired by Sophie's own gardening experiences, this scoop is engineered to hold a significant volume of soil without the spills associated with a standard trowel. Its high-sided, deep-dish design ensures that compost goes exactly where you want it—into the pot—making it an essential companion for container gardening and indoor plant care.

Best For: Gardeners who frequently work with pots, containers, or hanging baskets and want a cleaner, more efficient way to handle compost and potting mixes.

Key Features

• Mess-Free Design: Specifically engineered to hold a generous amount of compost, allowing for precise pouring into pots of all sizes without spilling soil over the edges.
• High-Sided Head: The deeply dished stainless steel head acts as a large-capacity shovel, outperforming standard trowels for bulk soil movement.
• Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel: The rust-resistant head not only looks beautiful but allows soil to slide off smoothly, making the tool easy to clean.
• FSC® Certified Beechwood: Features a waxed beechwood handle that is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, providing excellent control.
• Classic Brass Ferrule: A traditional brass ferrule secures the handle to the tool head, ensuring durability and adding to the signature Sophie Conran aesthetic.
• Gift Presentation: Comes beautifully presented in a designer gift box, making it a sophisticated and practical present for any plant lover.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
