FAQs

A spade cuts into ground with a flat straight-edged blade. A shovel lifts loose material with a curved blade and raised sides. Neither does the other job well.

A garden spade has a full-width blade for turning open ground. A border spade is narrower so it works in a planted bed without disturbing the roots either side of the cut.

Stainless sheds wet soil so it does not build up on the blade in clay, which is where most of the effort goes. Carbon steel takes a harder edge and suits ground with stone in it.

On a full day of digging, yes. An extra long stainless garden spade reduces bending, which is what usually decides how long the work can continue rather than blade design.

Loading and moving aggregate, sand and mixed material. The square mouth and fibreglass shaft take the abuse of that work, where a wooden shaft would eventually split.

Carbon steel garden fork and spade sets are held in green and black, which covers the two tools most gardens need before anything else.

Spades and Shovels

A spade cuts into ground and a shovel lifts what is already loose. That is why a spade has a flat, straight-edged blade and a shovel has a curved one with raised sides. Using a spade to move sand is slow and using a shovel to cut turf does not work at all. Most gardens end up needing one of each rather than trying to make one tool cover both.

Garden and border are the two spade sizes and they follow the same logic as the forks. A garden spade has a full-width blade for turning open ground. A border spade is narrower so it works in a planted bed without disturbing the roots either side of the cut.

Head material changes how the spade enters and leaves the ground. Stainless sheds wet soil so it does not build up on the blade in clay, which is where most of the effort goes. Carbon steel takes a harder edge and suits ground with stone in it. Both materials are held in garden and border sizes, so the spade type comes first and the material second.

Handle length and shaft material decide the working posture. An extra long stainless spade reduces bending on a full day. A fibreglass shaft on a builders shovel takes the abuse of loading aggregate where a wooden shaft would eventually split. Send the ground type to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. A Young Gardener digging spade with an ash handle sits on the leaf at a smaller scale.
