A small garden shovel, also known as a SPADE, is a tool used for digging and moving soil, compost, and other materials. It has a flat blade with a handle attached to it, allowing the user to easily dig and scoop up soil. The blade is usually made of metal or plastic, and the handle is usually made of wood or plastic. Small garden shovels are ideal for smaller gardening tasks such as planting bulbs, digging trenches, and creating flower beds.
