The RHS Stainless BoronGreen Border Spade combines the superior strength of boron steel with sustainable materials, creating a powerful and eco-friendly garden tool. Slightly smaller than a standard digging spade, it is perfect for working in confined or densely planted areas such as borders and beds. Its sharpened, powder-coated steel blade cuts cleanly through soil while wide comfort treads reduce foot strain during digging. Tested to a breaking load of 90kg, this spade exceeds British standards for strength and durability. The thermo-treated FSC-certified white ash handle is designed for comfort, moisture resistance and long-term durability. Featuring a 'Y' grip and double-riveted base, along with a double-riveted strapped socket for added flexibility, this border spade is ergonomic, strong and precise. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and backed by a 25-year guarantee, the RHS Stainless BoronGreen Border Spade is a sustainable, professional-grade tool for gardeners who demand quality and performance.
