Product Reviews
Having requested this spade for my Birthday, my husband was somewhat sceptical that such a tool warranted such a price! Nevertheless he purchased it together with a long handled fork and has waited patiently for my response, which I now post to you. To commend 'Sneerboer's description would only start to tell you just how good it is. The spade literally glides through soil with the sharpness and precision of a knife. The long handle and footplates limit the amount of bending required to do the job. It is relatively lightweight given it's strength. The curved blade enables digging out of long rooted plants with limited damage in a small space, so it is fantastic for moving plants around, indeed I have favoured it above a fork because of the depth of the blade. Needless to say, ordinary digging where there are no plants is fast, precise and kind to the spine. The only downside I have experienced - and it is a minor one, is that the footplates get in the way when one is moving soil from a wheelbarrow to the ground. Perhaps I should hold on to my old spade for this purpose alone at no extra cost!
This spade is brilliant, I have just taken on a new allotment which is full of Docks with very long roots and this spade makes it easier to get right down the root system.
I have a vegetable garden with raised beds and was looking for a lightweight narrow spade. This spade is very well made. strong but not too heavy, I can dig deep into the soil without bending and without then lifting a great weight of soil. The top of the blade is wide and comfortable for pushing down on in wellies. The Handle is long with a simple T bar at the top. I bought the spade for me but notice that my husband keeps using it too! Highly recomended.
