AustraliaBorder Spade is Great
I am very happy with this excellent spade. Being a woman of a ‘certain age’ with a weak back, I find this smaller/narrower spade ideal. Once I got the technique right, I was able to dig a hole to plant a tree and saved money on a gardener! Its solid Ash handle is beautifully balanced with the rest of the spade and it is just a pleasure to use! Burgon & Ball seem to make high quality implements. I’m now a fan!

I am a professional gardener and could not be without my favourite tool the border spade. The guys working with me affectionately call it the tea spoon I use it for everything. Weeding, removing unwanted plants, digging lawn edges. It’s the only brand to buy. Burgon and ball. Sorry sounds like a sales pitch but it’s honestly how I feel about this spade

I am a professional gardener of 35 years and wouldn’t be without my “tea spoon” as one of my workers named it Funny about that because all the boys reach for the tea spoon often on site and have even bought one for themselves. I wouldn’t be without mine.
