spade recommendations?
Hello,
I broke our spade trying to dig out some roots. In the past I have always bought a cheap fork and spade set from somewhere like B&Q. Are all spades created equal or are the expensive ones better in some way? I see some are carbon steel and others are stainless steel. I imagine stainless steel is less likely to rust but in my experience, the carbon steel ones have not rusted but perhaps that's because they haven't lasted long enough to rust! What about forks? I always seem to bend the tines but as with the spade, that is user-error abusing them to when digging out roots. Are there any with more robust tines? One last question: border spades and digging spades. Is the border spade just a slightly smaller version of the digging spade? Which do you use, or do you have one of each? Thanks, Stephen. |
