Border Spade for Edging Beds and Precise Digging

This border spade is ideal for general digging, opening planting holes, transplanting plants and shaping garden edges. The square stainless steel blade cuts cleanly through soil and turf, making it suitable for ground preparation, compost moving and furrowing across beds and borders. 

Border Spade Use For Compost And Transplanting

The blade allows compost, soil and organic material to be lifted and relocated during planting or bed preparation. It is also suitable for lifting plants and dividing root balls when transplanting, helping minimise disturbance to surrounding soil.

Handle Design And Control During Digging
