Garden spades come in a variety of sizes and styles, depending on the specific needs of the gardener. This spade is a joy to use and takes all the strain out of digging for someone like me with and old and wonky back. After demonstrating correct digging technique we finish by explaining how to prolong the life of your spade with the right maintenance routine.The blade is usually about 6-8 inches wide and 12-16 inches long, and is designed to be sharp enough to cut through soil and roots. When using a garden spade, it is important to use proper technique to avoid injury and to get the best results. For all wood handled tools apply a light coating of boiled linseed oil to help prevent the wood from drying out and cracking. Some spades are designed for general digging and planting, while others are specialised for tasks such as edging, trenching, or transplanting. The weatherproofed hardwood handles offer durability and appeal to those gardeners who prefer garden tools with a ‘traditional’ appearance.

That's why we subject each Professional Tool to rigorous British Standard Load Tests before proudly adorning them with the JCB Logo. It is commonly used in gardening and landscaping to dig holes for planting, moving soil, and removing weeds. We cover against defects in manufacturing subject to wear and tear and the provision of reasonable care and maintenance.Being lighter with a slightly narrower handle than the standard range the spade works really well for the smaller gardener and those looking for a lighter tool. Overall, a spade is an essential tool for any gardener or landscaper, and its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any tool collection. Our Woven net is made from two strands of 500 denier filament looped together which is then interlooped at the mesh corners.
