Hello!
I'm a product design student and I am currently working on a project to improve a spade for allotment users. I have a few questions to ask:
- What qualities are important when choosing a spade?
(Weight, Length, Material, Durability, Handle, Environmental Viewpoint, ....)
- How does it feel in your hands, joints and back after a day at the cultivation pot?
- What is important in a spade from a storage perspective?
(Easy to carry, easy to hang up, flexible, can be folded?)
- How do you think a spade that is adjustable in length and where you can switch to different spade heads would work for you and on the market?
- Is there something missing in spades out there on the market, or anything that can be improved?
- How would you design and manufacture a spade if you had the opportunity?
Any feedback you can offer me will be very useful.
Thank you for your time!
