Waht is the length of the blade?

The overall length of the shovel is 48 inches. The blade is 16 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide It tapers down to 2 1/2 inches. The end is rounded, although it didn't seem to effect my digging in any way. The instructions clearly state the shovel is not to be used for prying.

How many inches deep does it cut for a plug?

Do you mean for a plug of grass? I do not have grass, but I find it very helpful for transplanting flowers and trees from pots into the soil. It goes at least 6-8" deep. You don't apply leverage, but you can switch to a regular shovel or get on the ground and use a spade.

does this shovel work for cutting plugs as well as cutting through roots?

Yes, the surface area of the shovel is 16.25". I have used this on my yard and it is very handy.

Will this work to dig out a flower bed in a sandy plot?

You can't go wrong for this multifunction tool. It's made well. I would recommend once the flower bed was broken up to use a conventional shovel for capacity shoveling.
