The Leborgne Novagrip 36cm (14in) nurseryman's spade is a particularly strong and comfortable gardener's tool, specially designed for transplanting and uprooting trees and bushes in heavy, clayey soils! Its head is made of tempered polished steel mounted on a high socket with a reinforced ring that supports the great efforts required to work compacted soils without snagging, thus facilitating the tool's penetration into the soil and its cleaning. The footrests facilitate the tool's insertion without damaging the boots. The Novagrip handle is made of a lightweight, unbreakable trimaterial and an anti-slip elastomer grip, pleasant and ergonomic. Its "T" shape allows for better control and direction of the carried loads, making it more suitable for users with less strength. It is also used for preparing the soil before planting, as well as for burying amendments in normal to heavy, less rocky soils. Available in a version with a 40 x 20cm (8in) head. Made in France.
Dimensions: Spade blade: 36cm (14in) x 20cm (8in) - Weight: 1.63kg - Handle length: 90cm (35in)
The spade is a garden tool designed for intensive work in slightly rocky and heavy soils. It is a long and narrow-bladed spade used for deep soil preparation, requiring precision and strength, such as in the case of clayey soils. It is also used by nurserymen to uproot trees or bushes with extensive root systems. Its polished blade on both sides easily penetrates these types of soils, while its high socket provides high resistance to tipping and lifting heavy weights, while protecting the handle from rotting and dirt. Use it to turn the soil deeply, bury fertilizers and amendments such as manure, and for transplanting. It is also used for earthworks, particularly for digging trenches for drainage pipes or creating a hedge. This model is equipped with a fully tempered steel head, giving it great resistance to wear. Its high socket with a reinforced ring ensures an excellent connection between the two parts, while facilitating its cleaning. The blade is polished to reduce soil sticking, allowing for better penetration into the soil and easier tool maintenance. The footrests allow the tool's weight to be used to drive it in without cutting the boots. Its lightweight handle is made of a trimaterial consisting of fiberglass, copolymer polypropylene, and elastomer, making it both sturdy and comfortable to grip. Its beak shape provides better control of carried loads and tool orientation, making it suitable for gardeners with less strength.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
