If you have a garden, you also need a spade. We're certainly not telling you anything new. If you have yet to buy a spade, there are a few things to consider.
Can you go wrong when buying a spade?
You may be wondering why we are making this a topic, because when you buy a spade you can hardly do anything wrong. Oh yes, you can. Because here, too, you should pay attention to a few things.
Tip 1:
In principle you should have two spades for your garden. If you have a small garden, a spade will suffice. But why two? Well, you need a heavy model, which can be used for heavy and rough work such as more extensive digging when digging up the ground or planting trees or bushes, and a light model, also called a lady's spade, which can be used for general garden maintenance is ideal.
Tip 2:
It is very important that when you buy a spade you make sure that the shovel is made of strong steel and that the wooden handle fits very well . The higher, the more stable. Ash wood is preferred as the wooden handle because it is the most robust. Anyone who uses spade blades made of stainless steel has the additional advantage that they do not rust. It's best to get a spade with a flat blade and one with a pointed blade.
