Spades

Why Spades Matter in NZ Gardening

Spades are a fundamental part of any garden toolkit in New Zealand. The shape and strength of spades make them perfect for digging, turning soil, and planting various plant types. Using a quality spade ensures you create optimal growing conditions, especially for deep-rooted trees, shrubs, and perennials. Spades also make light work of dividing clumps or edging borders, contributing to the overall health and maintenance of your garden.

Choosing the Right Spades for Different Plant Types

Selecting the correct spade can significantly affect how your plants establish and thrive. Flat spades are ideal for edging and slicing roots, while curved spades work best for digging and soil movement. When you are ready to plant new varieties, use the appropriate spade to ensure root systems have enough space to develop properly. This attention to detail will lead to healthier, more robust plants all year round.
