Gardeners use a spade for digging. It is designed for the specific task of lifting up and removing dirt. This would be the tool of choice for digging a planting hole, a trench or a ditch. The blade or digging end, made of metal, is sharp. The upper edge is dull, and is where the digger can place his foot to help force the sharp end into the ground. Besides the basic hole digging, the spade is handy for slicing off sod in preparation for using an area for planting. It works well for loosening soil and breaking up any clumps of dirt. Because the edge is sharp, it's handy for edging walkways and driveways. The spade also works well for scooping up quantities of dirt to place in a container such as a pail or wheelbarrow
