What is a "spade"?
A spade is a gardening tool with a flat, sharp-edged blade and a long handle, used for digging, cutting, and moving soil. The blade is typically rectangular or slightly pointed, which makes it effective for tasks like digging holes, edging, or turning over soil. Spades are often used for more precise digging compared to shovels and can be helpful for planting, transplanting, or dividing plants. The handle is usually made of wood or metal, and the design allows for efficient use of force when working in the ground.
