The Bulldog Evergreen Digging Spade is ideal for digging in unprepared ground ready for planting new plants, seeds and vegetable. The 28" Ash shaft is attached to a plastic ergo 'D' handle which provides a comfortable grip when working with harder soils. The digging spade is useful for moving larger quantities of bulk material. The carbon steel head is solid forged which is both durable and strong meaning it can withstand repetitive use.
