I felt compelled to write and say "Thank You" for the medium Azada I purchased from you about one month ago. It is the best gardening purchase I have ever made. It's given me the impetus and motivation to continue with my allotment (which I had let get overgrown and had almost given up on). I'm finding it relatively easy to clear even the worst couch grass and other weeds from the clay soil. I must admit after reading the testimonials on your website I thought it sounded too good to be true, but was desperate to clear the mess the allotment was in. It's every bit as good as people say and more! Kind Regards, Stephen Simons, West Sussex

 

 
The Azada arrived today -- the first really good day for digging. I put aside other projects and hit the dirt. The clay soil, grass, weeds and tree roots went flying! This thing is GREAT! I cleared twice the area in half the time taken with other tools. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Deborah Tait,

I just wanted you to know how pleased I am. I have used it a bit on the allotment, weather permitting, and it really is proving to be possibly the best gardening purchase I have ever made. Scarlett Cannon, London.

 

It's brilliant, in fact I haven't touched my spade since I got it - and so much easier on the back. Mrs Wood, Somerset

 

I have a knee problem and in the past have had to ask my husband to do any digging for me and now with the help of your tools I can do it for myself. Mrs Taylor, Bishop's Stortford

The Right Tools for the Job

Why do we insist on making such hard work of digging and cultivating our plots with tools that make us bend and strain our backs when millions of people all over the world work the soil with faster, easier and more logical tools which avoid much of the drudgery and backache that we take so much for granted?
If you subscribe to the philosophy of "no pain, no gain" then go no further - if, on the other hand, you see no virtue in making hard work even harder then try these tools and you'll wonder how you ever managed without them.

Rather than trying to "hard sell" Azadas on this site, I feel it better to simply include feedback from buyers. To read more comments from people who have purchased these tools, please browse through the other pages, in particular what users say.
 

I enclose cheque for another of your marvellous Azadas! I have a very large garden to work and have had quite a lot of back problems with heavy digging and have found the Azada to be much more efficient and infinitely easier on my back. I'm buying a second one as the person who does most of the gardening with me wants to use mine all the time!

I have just cleared a large allotment which was covered with ten-foot brambles. Short of bringing a tractor onto the site, I can't think how I could have got the rootballs out, if it hadn't been for your Azada. But once I got the swing right, I was cutting them out with one stroke. I can't tell you how gratifying it is to turn round at the end of a couple of hours and see how much you've cleared. With this thing in your hand you feel like the Bionic Man!

The tools arrived safely this morning. I rushed to the allotment after work to try them out. They are both superb, but especially the Azada which is a revelation and is also generating a lot of interest among fellow plot-holders! I cannot believe that these tools are not more widely available. So thanks for providing such an excellent service.

The Azada arrived on schedule and has already proved indispensable. I have just cleared half of an allotment of couch grass. Progress with the fork and spade was painfully slow. Many thanks to your company and its prompt efficient service.

When the Azada arrived early this year I thought it too heavy to use and put it away. One day I was tackling a heavy job in the allotment and getting nowhere. I'd tried everything else and finally tried the azada. The effect was astonishing! I don't have a lot of strength in my arms and my grip is not good either, but this tool is so simple to use and achieves such quick. good results. I have almost cleared my entire allotment now, even parts that have been neglected over a year. I am telling everyone else on the allotments and giving demonstrations, I'll be distributing your price list today. Valerie Thome, Nelson, Lancs

 
Some years ago I had spinal surgery and have still suffered with my back ever since, trying to do any digging in my garden was always painful and ended up with my wife doing the digging. After looking at your website I decided to order one of your Azadas, what a difference it's made!! Apart from the excellent service and fast delivery from yourselves, the speed at which you can clear ground and do digging with it is remarkable and without bending your back as with a shovel. I can now turn over soil much easier than before. The only problem now is that my Wife is that impressed by the Azada that I will probably have to order another one as she keeps pinching mine. On looking at the testimonials there are a lot of satisfied Azada users out there - you have just read about another one!! All the best to you. John Bilbrough, Birmingham
