Spear and Jackson Traditional Stainless Steel Planting Spade

The Spear & Jackson Traditional Stainless Steel Planting Spade is a compact digging tool designed for working in smaller garden areas and borders. Combining high-quality SK5 stainless steel with a weatherproofed ash handle, this spade offers an ideal middle ground between full-size digging spades and border spades, making it particularly suitable for planting tasks where precision and manoeuvrability are essential.

The mirror-polished stainless steel head delivers excellent rust resistance and cleans effortlessly after use, whilst the pointed tip ensures easy ground penetration even in compacted soil. A serrated edge runs along the blade, designed to cut cleanly through roots by splitting the fibres rather than tearing them, allowing you to work efficiently in established beds and borders without damaging surrounding plants.

Practical features include depth markings etched at 2", 4" and 6" intervals on the blade for accurate bulb and plant positioning, whilst a treaded edge allows you to apply foot pressure comfortably when working harder ground. The double-riveted socket construction ensures a secure connection between blade and handle for long-term durability. This tool is ideal for planting perennials, bedding plants, and bulbs in confined spaces, as well as general border maintenance where a full-size spade would be cumbersome.
