Hi all, frequent visitor to the forum but first time poster. My Dad has recently got an allotment plot and I’d like to get him a new garden spade. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’d like to get a good quality ‘all rounder’ spade and don’t mind spending up to £50 - £60 for a long lasting one but with that many to choose from, brands etc I can’t decide. Anyone got a good trusty old faithful or one that has lasted many years? TIA

    I have Bulldog spade and fork with the ash handles - very pleased with them

    I often check this site for recommendations too. Fred is both genuine and very helpful.
