Autumn Digging with my Autospade

Autumn Digging my Allotment with the Wolf / Terrex Auto Spade.

This is a genuine original Wolf/Terrex Autospade. that I have had for some years now. A newer version is once again available under the name "Backsaver Spade" Available from http://www.backsavergardentools.co.uk/  It really does take the backache out of autumn digging. It was invented by a guy who lost a leg during World War II who wanted to continue to garden.


The spring action of this spade removes the need to bend and twist. Simply push the spade in the ground and pull back on the handle the soil id flicked into the air and inverted. Once you get a rhythm going you can quickly zip a long a row. 

I'm well ahead this year on my plot preparation as this spade lets me do more than when I use an ordinary spade. That plus no aching limbs requiring a hot bath and a dose of anti-inflammatory medication
