Great Dixter Planting Spade Mid-Length

The tool you didn’t know you were missing until you tried to dig a 'proper' hole from a kneeling position.

For those moments when you’re already down in the dirt—where the real work happens—and a standard trowel feels a bit... optimistic. The Great Dixter Mid-Length Spade is the missing link in your shed, designed for the gardener who knows that precision and power don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Hand-forged by the masters at Sneeboer, this spade is built for the high-stakes business of tucking new plants into established borders or dividing perennial shrubs. A full-sized spade is far too cumbersome for this kind of close-quarters work, but a trowel often leaves you wanting more. This mid-length handle gives you the leverage of a two-handed grip with the surgical control of a hand tool.

The narrow, angled head is a masterclass in ergonomics, making soil scooping an absolute breeze. It’s tough, it’s beautiful, and it’s exactly what your perennials have been asking for.
