Skidger

Maker Story

Innovative gardening products

The idea for Skidger came to the inventor at a very young age. As a child, she would spend countless hours at her family’s garden weeding. She realized a hoe was too awkward for her small frame and it chopped in the opposite direction she was moving. She began using a mason jar ring bent to a point. It worked perfectly but found it too slow. She wanted something that would cut through weeds and moved forward as she did. She kept thinking and refining her idea and when she had what she wanted she asked her father to create it in his workshop. Now her heart-shaped tool is helping gardeners get the most of every push and pull.
