Dirt Scoopers

I'm already looking forward to spring, and when planting season comes around, I have some new (well, new for gardening) tools to add to my gardening arsenal. We have a few faded, heavy-duty plastic cups (of varying sizes) that I'll use to scoop dirt from bags when transferring to pots. Those top soil bags are always heavy to carry around (and I don't need so much to just dump it), and the mini shovels are too small to do a quick job. Plus, I end up spilling more dirt than moving. I've used plastic cups before and they work well. They allow you to get a decent amount of dirt in one pass, which you can then easily pour into a pot.
