  • making digging easier...

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me the name of a spade that someone lent me last year to dig my potato trenches? (they have moved on now and taken the spade with them!)

    It had a heart shaped blade set at an angle and the shaft was about 5 foot plus tall. It made the digging of trenches very easy and meant you didn't have to bend your back.

    If any one knows what they're called/and where I may buy one I'd be grateful as I'm planning on putting my spuds in next weekend and want to leave the Fiery Jack in the medicine cupboard!

    I've seen them described as entrenching tool and peat spade, or long handle spade. Any farming supplier will have them cheaper than a garden or DIY centre

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill it
