About the Spade

A spade is a digging tool with a long handle and a flat, straight-edged blade. You push the blade into the ground with your foot to slice out neat, clean-sided holes for planting. Its flat edge makes it better than a rounded shovel for cutting straight into soil. Trace the handle and blade for a gardening theme.
