The spade is an essential garden tool, designed for lifting, turning, loosening and crumbling the soil deeply, in small areas. Fertiliser (well decomposed compost, organic fertiliser, horse manure...) can be incorporated into the soil at the same time as it is turned. The spade, with its sharp edges, is also used for digging, cutting roots, or digging up certain vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips). This model consists of an ash handle, which is very hard, lightweight and weather-resistant. The metal socket accommodates the blade made of tempered steel, resistant to shocks, twisting and corrosion thanks to the green coating. On the right and left of the handle, the spade has been hammered and flattened into steps, providing a blunt foothold. The relatively short handle makes this tool easy to handle for smaller individuals. It is compostable, and the head is recyclable.
