Carters Perennial Border Spade
The Carters forged steel border spade is a durable border spade that will send other brands running for the hills regarding durability and ergonomics. It is ideal for both the gardening enthusiast and professional landscape gardener. This spade's narrow blade profile and curved leading edge make it ideal for cultivating soil in tight areas around existing plants and shrubs.
The blade on this tool features a solid socket single-piece design that is far stronger than welded alternatives, as the weld between the blade and socket creates a weak point. As mentioned, this is not an issue for the Carters forged border spade as it is forged from a single piece of steel with no welds.
This Carters Forged Steel Border Spade is available with a choice of three different handle designs, with the Ash Ergo YD being the most popular by far. The other options include an all-ash YD handle and an all-ash-shaped T handle.
