If you mean the small steel ones then any ex army store will have one.

If it’s light digging (sand or top of a hedge) there fine but that’s about it really.

If you struggle to get hold of one PM me and I can get one for you no problem.

Thanks Erin, that looks handy, but now im bigining to wonder what Branch said.

Prehaps, i need a stronger, a bit longer, for deeper hard soil digging?

Frank.

[Guest Frank]

Nowt wrong with that Frank if your happy to dig with it you would be suprised at what people prefer to dig with some will say you cant dig with a square spade or a timber handle will snap or whatever but if it works for you stick with it no point struggling to dig with a tool your uncomfortable with

[Guest Frank]

Thanks. I havent actually used that spade thats in the photo for deep digging and am worried about the wooden handle snaping. I might get one of them on e,bay as well, but i dont want to be unhappy with it and waist my dosh.

I have dug a good bit with the spade in the photo, i suppose, if you know its limits and dont push it too bar, it should be fine.

One thing it lacks, is removing the soil you have dug, i have a shovel for that, but dont fancy carrying the 2 in the feild.

What do you all think? Would this do the job?

Bit pricey though , and the postage to here would not be too cheap ither.

[Guest wickidweasel]

Nice selection here

[Guest Frank]

Cheers wickedweasel.

I went to order the spade and the total came to £40

Shame, as its a cracking spade and its exactly what im after.
