{"product_id":"ladybird-spade-and-fork-gardening-tools-with-beech-handles","title":"Ladybird Spade \u0026 Fork Gardening Tools with Beech Handles","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese ladybird gardening tools pair a small red spade with a bright yellow fork, each fixed to a smooth beech handle by a neat silver-toned collar. The heads are cold-rolled steel with a glossy coloured finish. The spade has a rounded, pointed blade with a raised ridge running up its centre, and the fork has three straight prongs. Each tool is about 20cm long from tip to handle end and 7.4cm across at its widest, so both sit comfortably in one hand. The pair comes on a card printed with ladybirds and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing small, they come into their own in the smaller corners of the garden: loosening soil around bedding plants, lifting a seedling to move it, filling pots and planters on the patio or topping up a window box. The spade scoops compost and digs neat planting holes, while the fork breaks up the surface and works in a little feed. The red and yellow show up well against dark earth, so they are easy to find again when you put them down among the leaves. They are a good pair for a first patch of garden, a raised bed or a few containers by the back door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beech handles are about 2.4cm across with a rounded end that sits well in the palm, and a metal collar joins each head to its handle. After use, knock off the soil, wipe the heads with a damp cloth and dry them well; as with any steel tool, storing them somewhere dry helps keep the finish looking its best. Wipe the handles with a damp cloth and let them dry naturally. Keep them in the shed or in a trug with your seed packets, and they are ready whenever a pot needs filling. Wrapped with a packet of seeds, they make a cheerful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpade \u0026amp; fork: metal (cold-rolled steel); spade handle \u0026amp; fork handle: wood (beech)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.142KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get two tools: a red spade and a yellow three-pronged fork.
