Shovel/Spade Greenmill GR0149C — metal blade with 75 cm wooden/PVC handle

Greenmill GR0149C is a garden shovel designed for digging, turning soil and general garden tasks. It combines a metal blade with a 75 cm handle that uses wood core covered with PVC to provide a stable grip and some vibration damping. The shovel’s construction aims to balance durability of the blade with user comfort from the handle for home gardening, landscaping and light earthmoving work.

Advantages

The metal blade offers resistance to wear and maintains a sharp edge for efficient soil penetration. The 75 cm wooden/PVC handle reduces hand fatigue compared with shorter or all-metal shafts and improves control while digging or lifting. A compact length makes the tool easy to manoeuvre in beds, borders and tighter spaces without sacrificing leverage for common garden tasks.

Suitable for

• Digging planting holes and transplanting
• Turning and aerating garden soil
• Moving loose soil, compost or mulch
• Light landscaping and edging work
• General maintenance in home gardens and allotments

Key specifications

• Blade material: metal
• Handle type: wood core with PVC coating
• Overall handle length: 75 cm
• Tool type: shovel / spade for digging and soil handling

How to use

Hold the shovel with one hand on the upper part of the handle and the other near the blade for control. Position the blade at the soil surface, step down on the blade edge if necessary to penetrate compact ground, then lever out the loosened soil. Use steady, controlled movements and avoid twisting the shaft under heavy load. After digging, clean soil from the blade and inspect the handle and blade junction for stability.

Usage recommendations

Wear gloves to protect hands and improve grip; store the shovel in a dry place to prevent corrosion on the metal blade and prolong the life of the wooden/PVC handle. For heavy or continuous earthmoving tasks, consider a tool with a longer handle or reinforced blade.
