Planting Spade - 650mm Overall Length - Precision D-handle Tool for Small Planting Holes & Raised Beds

Australian Artisan Planting Spade - 650mm Spotted Gum D-Handle - Precision Spade for Small Planting Holes

Using a full-sized spade for planting in tight spots or turning soil in raised beds is awkward and inefficient. The Artisan Planting Spade is hand-made in Melbourne to provide precision where a normal spade is simply too big. It features a sharp, tapered blade designed for clean soil penetration and is fitted with a comfortable 650mm Spotted Gum D-handle, offering the perfect balance of leverage and control for digging clean, small planting holes without bending or straining.

Best For The discerning home gardener who appreciates heirloom-quality, Australian-made tools and requires a specialized, mid-reach spade for comfortably digging precise holes and working in containers, crowded borders, or raised beds.

Key Features

• Precision Tapered Blade: The small, curved blade (220mm high x 140mm wide) is sharpened and heat-treated to slice easily into the soil, allowing you to dig precise, small planting holes with minimal effort and soil disturbance.

• Ergonomic D-Handle Comfort: The robust 650mm Spotted Gum D-handle provides a secure, comfortable, two-handed grip and superior leverage, ensuring you can exert force and control the blade accurately without bending over.

• Master Artisan Quality (Australian Made): Hand-made in Melbourne using the materials and techniques of a bygone era, this tool is built for uncompromising strength, function, and longevity.

• High Carbon Steel Durability: Forged from high carbon steel and heat-treated to an optimum hardness, the blade maintains its sharp edge and structural integrity, guaranteeing multi-season performance.

• Ideal for Confined Spaces: The smaller blade size and mid-length handle make this the perfect tool for working in raised garden beds, window boxes, and crowded perennial borders where full-sized tools are unusable.
