Metal Garden Spade Greenmill GR0147B with 74 cm Wooden/PVC Handle

Greenmill metal garden spade GR0147B with a 74 cm wooden/PVC handle is a hand tool designed for digging, edging and turning soil in garden beds, allotments and small landscaping projects. The forged metal blade provides a sturdy working edge for moving earth, compost and looser materials, while the combined wooden and PVC shaft gives a comfortable grip and some shock absorption during use. This spade is intended for domestic gardening tasks where a reliable, compact digging tool is required.

Advantages

The metal blade delivers wear resistance and strength when penetrating soil and compost. The 74 cm shaft blends wood for natural feel with a PVC coating for improved grip and protection against moisture. A compact length makes the spade easier to manoeuvre in raised beds and tight spaces compared with full-size digging spades. The construction is suited to repeated light to medium gardening tasks and offers straightforward maintenance: cleaning of the blade and occasional handle care.

Suitable for

• Digging planting holes and transplanting in flower beds
• Turning compost and mixing soil amendments
• Edging lawn borders and paths
• Working in allotments, raised beds and small vegetable plots

Key specifications

• Blade material: metal (forged steel-style construction)
• Handle length: 74 cm
• Handle composition: wooden core with PVC coating for grip
• Tool type: garden spade for digging and edging
• Color: green (handle finish)

How to use

Use the spade by placing your foot on the top edge of the blade and driving it into the soil with steady downward pressure. For planting, dig a hole of appropriate depth and width, loosen surrounding soil with the blade and remove excess earth. For edging, run the blade vertically along the desired line and remove the cut strip. When turning compost or mixing soil amendments, use the blade to lift and fold material until well combined. After use, clean soil from the blade and dry the handle to prevent moisture damage to the wooden core.

Usage recommendations

Choose correct technique and avoid levering the spade beyond its intended load to reduce risk of handle or blade damage; wear gardening gloves to protect hands and inspect the tool regularly for any loosening at the blade-handle connection.
