The brass version of the Takemoto Bros Soil Stick brings a different feel to potting work, adding weight, warmth, and character without sacrificing control. Designed for loosening soil, freeing roots, and guiding soil during transplanting, it offers a more tactile, deliberate experience in hand.
The working edge breaks apart dense soil and helps untangle roots with care. Its rounded shape reduces the risk of damage to roots or pots while still allowing effective soil movement. A spiral section near the tip helps soil cling and release smoothly, improving both removal and packing between roots.
The flat end is useful for separating soil from pot walls, lifting plants free, or making rough adjustments during setup. These features make the Soil Stick equally useful for detailed work and quick corrections.
Crafted from solid brass, this version has a satisfying weight and will naturally develop a patina over time, reflecting use and age. It follows the Takemoto Bros design approach, where practical tools are treated as long-term objects rather than disposable accessories.

Notes
- Each piece is handmade, so minor variations in finish and form are expected.
- Brass will naturally darken and oxidize with handling and exposure. This can be left as-is or polished if preferred.
