Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Border Spade arrives fully assembled and ready for use.
Compatibility: This spade is compatible with most soil types, excelling in loam and clay. It is best suited for general garden tasks rather than extremely rocky or compacted ground where a heavier tool might be preferred.
Care: To ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the stainless steel blade with water and a soft brush to remove soil and debris. A damp cloth can be used for stubborn residue.
- Drying: Always dry the spade thoroughly before storing to prevent rust or corrosion.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment, such as a garden shed or tool rack, away from moisture.
- Handle Care: Periodically check the ash wood handle for any signs of wear. It can be lightly sanded and treated with a wood preserver or linseed oil if needed to maintain its condition.
