How to choose the right spade + Plant "stealing" etiquette

Why a spade and not a shovel? I'm sharing why, when it comes to gardening, I'm a spade person. Here I compare a few different kinds of spades that can help you decide what factors to consider if you're in the market for a spade. Although I'm comparing Sneeboer spades, the different consideration factors apply to any spade.

Thank you to Sneeboer for supplying tools for this video (except for my OG border spade, which has been at my side in the garden for several years).
