Kew Gardens Spades

Kew Gardens Spades at Tooled-Up.com

Tooled-Up.com stocks Kew Gardens Spades for gardeners, landscapers and groundworkers who want a well-finished digging tool. The selection includes the Kew Gardens Treaded Carbon Steel Digging Spade and Border Spade, the Treaded Stainless Steel Digging Spade and Border Spade, and the compact Stainless Steel Mini Flower Spade.

The main difference is size and steel. Digging spades suit full-depth work in open ground, border spades are smaller for planting between established plants, and the mini flower spade is a hand tool for precise work in tight spaces. Carbon steel and stainless steel versions are both available.

Key Features of Kew Gardens Spades

• Stainless steel heads: Stainless steel resists rust and sheds soil easily, so the blade stays cleaner and slides into the ground with less effort.
• Carbon steel heads: Carbon steel is a traditional choice for hard-working digging tools. Wipe it clean and dry after use to keep it in good condition.
• Treaded blades: The treads give your boot a secure, comfortable surface, which helps you drive the spade into firm soil.
• Digging and border sizes: A full-size digging spade moves more soil per stroke. A border spade is lighter and easier to control in confined beds.
• Mini flower spade design: The mirror-polished stainless head is dished to hold soil while you carry it, and the pointed tip helps with lifting, splitting and planting perennials and shrubs.

Who Uses Kew Gardens Spades?

Kew Gardens Spades suit domestic gardeners, allotment holders, landscapers and grounds maintenance teams. Digging spades are used for turning beds, preparing planting areas, digging trenches and lifting turf. Border spades are the better choice for planting shrubs, dividing perennials and working around established plants without disturbing them. The Mini Flower Spade is useful for container planting, raised beds, rockeries and other tight spots where a full-size spade is too bulky.

Shop Kew Gardens Spades at Tooled-Up and choose the size and steel to match your soil and the work you do most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a digging spade and a border spade?

A digging spade has a larger blade for moving more soil in open ground. A border spade is smaller and lighter, which makes it easier to use in narrow beds and around existing plants.

Should I choose carbon steel or stainless steel?

Stainless steel resists rust and sheds soil well, so it needs less care. Carbon steel is a traditional option that should be cleaned and dried after each use to keep it in good condition.

What is the Mini Flower Spade used for?

It is a compact hand tool for lifting, splitting and planting border plants and perennial shrubs in confined areas. The dished blade holds soil as you work and the pointed tip gives you accuracy.
