DIY WEEK AWARDS 2023 WINNERS 2018
Garden Tool of the Year Greenman Planter’s Spade
Beautifully crafted with the unique to Greenman, lipped and triple riveted socket providing incredible strength and support. The main benefit of this socket is that it allows the wood a degree of flex whilst offering support and increasing the strength of the tool. It has a longer more dished and tapered blade than a Border Spade, which makes it easier to penetrate the soil. Its shape also makes it quicker to dig deeper and rounder holes for planting. It’s also longer than usual, again adding strength but also means less bending is required. With a filled YD handle made from sustainable ash, finishes off this statement tool with comfort and support as well as completing the traditional look and feel of a Greenman Garden Tool.
The unique lipped socket is a major feature of the Planter’s Spade, and it’s not just pretty, it’s super strong and adds serious strength and robustness to the spade. We’ve even extended the foot tread slightly for even better purchase.
