For the stock shovel, see Shovel.
As the soldiers' need for a digging implement for graves, latrines and trenches increased to include hedgerows, shrubberies and officers' golf courses, the Army stepped up development of its standard issue digging tools to make them smaller and more effective.
Market Gardener publicity blurb

The Market Gardener is a community-created melee weapon for the Soldier. It is an entrenching shovel with a tan wooden handle fastened with green metal.

The Market Gardener deals critical hits to enemies whilst the wielder is rocket jumping (or otherwise airborne via explosion), but cannot randomly crit. Compared to the default Shovel, the Market Gardener has a 20% slower swinging speed.
