Metal garden spade with wooden/PVC handle Greenmill GR0147C — 74 cm shaft

The Greenmill metal garden spade GR0147C with a 74 cm shaft is a general-purpose tool for digging, edging and turning soil in garden and landscaping tasks. The spade combines a durable metal blade with a wooden core handle encased in PVC, providing a balance of strength and comfort. Its 74 cm shaft length offers controlled leverage for medium-intensity outdoor work, while the reinforced blade design is intended for reliable performance in routine gardening operations.

Advantages

The metal blade delivers solid penetration and wear resistance for digging and cutting through compacted soil. The handle construction — a wooden core wrapped in PVC — provides improved grip, reduced slippage in wet conditions and enhanced protection of the wood from moisture and weathering. The shaft length and overall balance reduce user fatigue during repetitive tasks and make it easier to achieve precise edging and soil turnover.

Suitable for

• Digging planting holes for shrubs and perennials
• Edging lawns and creating clean borders
• Turning and aerating garden beds
• General landscaping and soil preparation

Key specifications

• Shaft length: 74 cm
• Blade material: metal
• Handle: wooden core with PVC coating
• Intended use: digging, edging, soil turning
• Handle finish: PVC for improved grip and weather resistance

How to use

Position the spade blade at the desired location and apply steady downward pressure on the shaft while stepping on the blade edge if necessary to penetrate compacted soil. Use the shaft length to leverage soil removal and to lift sod or loosen roots. For edging, insert the blade vertically and follow the desired line, then remove loosened material by levering the spade. After use, clear soil from the blade and store the spade in a dry place to prolong the life of the handle and metal components.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate gloves and footwear while operating the spade. Avoid using the tool on hard rocky ground or as a pry bar to prevent damage to the blade or handle. Regularly clean and inspect the metal blade for rust and the PVC coating for signs of wear; treat the wooden core as needed by keeping the handle dry and occasionally applying a suitable wood preservative if exposed to prolonged moisture.
