Our Story

The Garden Groover Reinventing a classic furrow tool, we've designed the Garden Groover, a unique, multifunctional tool. It redefines furrowing, covering seeds, and cultivating, accelerating planting for all gardeners.

What's more, its utility extends beyond gardening. The Garden Groover also excels in construction and landscaping tasks, making it an essential, all-around outdoor companion. Since we're deeply committed to the success of all gardeners, we want to get the Garden Groover into your hands as early as possible!  We've priced the "Groovy Gardener" tier to be as accessible as possible, the cost covering the production of the tool itself with a small margin to account for shipping, fees, and taxes.  Please note that we only ship the tool head (and attachment screws), as handles aren't conducive to shipping and are easily sourced at most local hardware stores, to your length preference.

Why Did We Create the Garden Groover?

After sowing several fifty-foot rows of seeds for years, the need for a more efficient method of covering them became apparent. Our goal was to create a tool that made planting and watering seeds simpler and more efficient, ultimately enhancing the gardening experience for everyone, from casual gardeners to professional farmers. One goal we wanted to achieve was the ability to cover the seeds, and prepare the perfect berm, that shows where to lay a soaker hose, holds water, and keeps the seeds in the middle.

The Garden Groover is a testament to this aspiration, offering a practical solution for the challenges of seed planting. As the idea and design developed, so did its potential uses, and so we designed it to be more heavy duty and more universally compatible.

Cool Beans Gardening is the embodiment of a dream, a shared vision backed by over a century of collective gardening experience. Born from the ingenuity of my two brothers, father, and father-in-law—who played a crucial role in the first fabrication—Cool Beans Gardening is on a mission to revolutionize the gardening world. Although we're not officially a company yet, we're at the forefront of gardening innovation.  We founded Cool Beans Gardening to bring this dream to life, and so far, our journey has been incredibly rewarding. As we continue to grow and innovate, we're excited about the future and the potential to make a significant impact on the gardening community.

Why Does One Unit Cost $35 Plus Shipping?

We firmly believe in the worth of durable, high-quality equipment. A garden tool isn't merely a purchase—it's an investment. Consider your grandfather's pickaxe that's been in use for decades—it was designed to endure. We share this philosophy. Our aim is to provide you with a tool that is a one-time purchase, a tool so reliable and efficient that you'd only consider buying more for your loved ones or neighbors.

Achieving such a level of quality demands a significant investment of time and resources. Our tool is crafted from heavy-duty 14-gauge steel, a premium material that doesn't come cheap. Once you factor in the costs of the 5mm tapered shaft, welding, bending angles, tooling, quality control, and shipping, the pricing becomes clear. We've made a conscious decision not to compromise on quality, and this commitment has invariably influenced our production timeline and costs. Upon closer inspection of the design, you'll notice the furrow is angled for added strength, a feature that surpasses traditional furrow tools and enhances soil displacement. The tapered socket and counter sinking for the screw holes presented a challenge in local manufacturing, but we were determined to overcome it.

We solicited quotes and prototypes from several companies before finally selecting our current manufacturer. The process was rigorous, but the result is a tool we can confidently declare as incredibly strong. Its additional angles lend it even more strength than you might expect, while still retaining a suitable degree of flexibility.

In short, quality has its price. It necessitates time, effort, and an unwavering commitment. Our pricing embodies this commitment to quality—we believe that investing in a Garden Groover is an investment in a tool that's built to endure, just like your grandfather's pickaxe.

What Can It Do?

The Garden Groover, crafted from robust 14-gauge steel, is a tool designed to tackle any task. Primarily, it streamlines gardening, creating furrows, covering seeds, and forming optimal watering tracks. But its capabilities extend far beyond.

Incorporating the functions of a furrow tool, hoe, rake, cultivator, and mixing tool, it offers unparalleled versatility. It's proficient at tasks like soil cultivation, trench digging, weeding, and even mixing construction materials. Regardless of the project - be it gardening, landscaping, or construction - the Garden Groover proves an indispensable asset. It's more than a tool - it's a revolution in outdoor task management, simplifying your toolset while expanding your capabilities.

Who Is It For?

The Garden Groover is a versatile tool, designed for everyone from hobbyist gardeners to large-scale farmers. Its primary function is to streamline the process of planting long rows of seeds, accommodating a wide variety of plants from corn and beans to garlic, onion slips, and flower bulbs. After creating furrows and covering the seeds, it forms perfect watering berms, ensuring optimal growth conditions for your plants. It also excels at tasks such as digging trenches or holes for seedlings, with its adjustable design allowing precise control over soil placement.

Its applications, however, extend beyond gardening. It proves invaluable in construction and landscaping, adept at tasks like mixing materials. Essentially, its utility is limited only by your imagination. The Garden Groover isn't just a garden tool or for those with a green thumb—it's a multi-purpose asset that boosts efficiency across a wide array of tasks and projects.

Shipping

We've established reasonable shipping rates, and we're even absorbing a portion of the cost ourselves! Given the heavy-duty nature of our tool, the shipping costs might be slightly higher than expected. However, we're committed to making our tool heads accessible to gardening enthusiasts worldwide. Because we made quality a priority, shipping does cost a bit more.

Please note, we only ship the tool head and attaching screws—you'll need to source the handle locally. For backers in the U.S., compatible handles can be readily found at Lowes, Home Depot, and other hardware stores (48" and 60") The tapered handle design we use is universally available. 

Shipping costs may vary depending on the number of items in your order, but here's a rough estimate for shipping one Groover:

- United States - $10

- Rest of the world - $25

Shipping Timeframes also are extended. We are sourcing out of Country, so we have to get the inventory prior to sending it to the backers. We anticipate over 90 Days after end of Kickstarter, that you'll have products in hand, right before the next gardening season!
