Snapped my spade a little while bak doing some building and want to get a new one... but....
Do I need a shovel, square mouth spade, trenching spade or tapered mouth spade - I know nothing!
Which would be best for digging out some corners and building jumps? Also I assume from previous experience than an all metal one would be best too.
Previously I just used what I had / was given.
Folks like differnet things and it largely depends what you are doing- clearing, digging , tamping etc.
I like these but seem to have to be custom made with no UK importers>

If your just digging and building jumps any spade will do I guess.
spear and jackson for me. no edges on the back and slight curve. or when you drag the spade back after each pat you undo your work

Should just about be garden equipment time at Lidl and Aldi (bike stuff today at Lidl)which means well priced stainless spades if memory serves.
