what spade do you use?
« on: November 08, 2015, 10:57 am »
Just wondering who uses a normal garden spade or one of the custom spades around for their digging?  Have to say I use a standard cranked boarder spade although it is stainless.

I use a burgon and ball transplanting spade with a couple of stainless steel roll pins welded to the top to protect my boots. The spade is 38 quid but very strong and a nice shape on the blade.

I use a cut down Bulldog rabbiting spade. Had a lug welded on to protected my boots.
I do it with an AKA Sorex Pro

Budget garden border spade for the beach and a draper mini shovel for the fields.....perfectly adequate.
