Sneeboer Great Dixter Planting Spade

Is this Sneeboer Great Dixter Planting Spade a long handled trowel - or a short handle spade?

Regardless of how you want to refer to it what we've found is that its massively useful - especially when working on your knees or in raised beds.  The longer handle length (42cm) makes it perfect for digging in borders where space can be an issue. Originally designed to divide perennial shrubs. 

Overall size (62cm) keeps it easy to wield in tight spaces in the border.

Made from stainless steel.

The wooden handle is made from ash and replacements are available if ever required.
