This combo kit of a 3 Figure Hand Cultivator and a big Hand trowel are essential hand tools for small-scale gardening, each serving a distinct purpose in cultivating and maintaining your garden. 

The hand cultivator is a small tool with tines or prongs designed to loosen and aerate soil.  It's ideal for breaking up clumps of dirt, mixing in amendments like compost, and preparing the soil for planting.  It's particularly useful in smaller gardens or raised beds where larger tillers can't easily maneuver.

The hand trowel is a small, flat, scoop-shaped tool used for digging, planting, and transplanting. It's perfect for creating small holes for seeds or seedlings, moving soil, and carefully lifting plants. 

These two tools together form a basic but highly effective set for small-scale gardening. The hand cultivator prepares the soil while the hand trowel helps with planting and transplanting.
