Reader Reviews
I am very new to gardening, having become a new homeowner. For me, it was important to put together a small group of well made gardening tools. I bought this item based on its description. I was looking for sturdiness. This item was very useful in terms of digging a hole to plant blueberry bushes. There was a place you could put your feet to push down and loosen the earth. The metal part was sharp enough to cut through roots embedded in the soil. The spade is an excellent choice if you are not tall. At 5'2", this was a great length for me. The handle was sturdy, non-slip. After using it, I was able to wash it down with the hose, and so it cleaned up very well.
