Metal Garden Spade Greenmill GR0147A with Wooden/PVC Handle 74 cm

Greenmill metal garden spade GR0147A with a 74 cm wooden core handle combined with PVC is a manually operated digging tool designed for general garden and landscaping tasks. The metal spade head provides a rigid digging edge for breaking soil, cutting turf and forming borders, while the wooden core handle coated or fitted with PVC improves grip and resists wear. The overall length and blade shape make this spade suitable for routine soil work where a sturdy, straightforward tool is required.

Advantages

The metal blade offers strength and edge retention for repetitive digging and cutting of compacted soil. The wooden core handle delivers shock absorption and a familiar ergonomic feel, while the PVC coating enhances grip and protects the handle from moisture and abrasion. The combination of metal head and reinforced handle gives a good balance of durability and user control for medium-duty garden tasks.

How to use

Position the spade blade at the intended digging point, apply downward pressure on the top edge of the blade with your foot and push the blade into the soil. Use the handle as a lever to lift, turn or remove soil. For edging, place the spade vertically along the border and cut through turf by rocking the blade or driving it in with foot pressure. Maintain a neutral wrist position and use leg and body weight to reduce strain during repetitive tasks.

Usage recommendations

Before first use and periodically thereafter, check the head-to-handle connection and tighten or secure fittings if adjustable. Clean soil and moisture from the metal blade after use and store the spade in a dry place to minimise corrosion. For prolonged handle life, avoid prolonged exposure to standing water; a light coating of linseed oil on exposed wood can help maintain the wooden core. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and sturdy footwear, when digging and edging.
