Spade 76 cm - Long Collar - Self-sharpening - Per piece

This spade, also referred to as a trench shovel or flat shovel, is used to dig up the soil and is also ideal for digging garden edging or ditches. A spade has a narrower blade than a shovel or scoop shovel, and is rectangular, allowing it to easily slide into the ground. This spade comes with an 76 cm long shaft made of sustainable, 100% FSC-certified wood. 

What makes this spade stand out is its extra long collar. The collar is the part of a spade where the shaft meets the blade. The extra long collar means this spade is a lot stronger than a regular spade, and can be used for heavier materials. In addition to that, the blade of the shovel is self-sharpening. This means that instead of becoming duller the more you use it, the blade sharpens itself whenever it is used.

Spade

Spades are made for digging, and moving and turning soil, also called spading. A spade is equipped with a straight blade, that can slide through the soil and plant roots. Moving and turning the soil, essentially turning it upside down, helps to keep your garden healthy. Weeds and other unwanted plants disappear, and it improves the structure of the soil, keeping it healthy. 

Place the shovel vertically on the surface and kick the spade into the ground with your foot. How far you push the spade into the ground depends on how deep you want to dig. Then pull the shovel back by the handle to take out the soil.
